Celebrating another year of podcasting. Putting my audio self was a big step outside of my comfort zone and I'm so glad I did it.

Cheers to many more insightful conversations and sharing more entrepreneurial journeys!

Really loved chatting with fellow fitness instructor Amira Po**ck about her entrepreneurial journey, her fitness journey and how they came together through the creation of the Struct Club app.

After spending 10 hrs hours per week prepping for her classes, Amira realized there must be a more efficient way vs the old school method of paper and pen. Hence, Struct Club was born. Fitness instructors can use the app to create, facilitate and share workouts that highlight their unique playlists, style and energy.
