    Episode 20. The cost of DEFLATION

    Now, onto today’s hot topic— a little something that’s been buzzing around in my brain. It’s something Alex and I have been chatting about with a bunch of gym owners and fellow event providers. With the new Aussie season just around the corner, families and gym owners are setting the stage for their teams. So, let’s get into it; I'm calling this segment “The Cost of Deflation.” Yes, you heard me right—not inflation, but THAT, deflation…aka The Shrinking Team Syndrome The Reality of Team Sizes Less does not equal more Perception v reality… Etc, etc, etc…

    Episode 19. Find your tribe love them hard

    I want to mention that this episode is a valuable listen no matter where you are in your cheer and dance journey and time of the season, as I know these thoughts and questions can arise at any time. Alright, legends, today we’re diving into what you really value in your journey, not for business owners, but for parents, athletes, and dancers.  It's a friendly reminder for families to pause….. and reflect before sticking around for the wrong reasons, jumping ship impulsively, or giving up altogether when it’s not warranted.

    Episode 18. Bibbidi bobbidi boo

    Time management isn’t some magical power you can wave a wand at; it’s a skill that needs to be developed. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, but today I’m going to share how I make it work for me, and hopefully, you’ll walk away with a few ideas for creating your own Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo magic. Before we dive in, I want to make sure you’re all set for the next few minutes.  Today’s podcast is all about time management, so I encourage you to give it your full attention. Step 1: Eliminate distractions. Step 2: Seriously, eliminate distractions. Step 3: Again, eliminate distractions… because I mean it.

    Episode 17. "The Poor Cousin"

    Today’s topic is, “The Poor Cousin”… Snaps for you if you are listening to this and have already worked out what I will discuss today….. Who gets treated like the poor cousin? … Allstar Dance. This podcast has been a long time coming, and I needed to be in the right headspace to get this out. I hope that after hearing this, we can all help make a difference and give 1% more time and energy into making sure AllStar Dance stops getting treated like the poor cousin. Because it isn’t, and I am sure I am not alone when I say I am so sick of people acting like it is…

    Episode 15 - P R O F I T—is not a dirty word

    I am excited to return in 2024 and ready to take you on another crazy journey. I will share what is inside my head regarding the world of Cheer and dance, and I will always urge you to give 1% more to your thoughts, feelings, and actions today, tomorrow, and in the future.  Today’s topic feels a bit like a “don’t shoot the messenger” moment, but I have been sitting on this for a while, and based on calls, emails and conversations I have been having recently, I think it’s time we spoke about it.  Here goes nothing today; I am telling you all—athletes, parents, gym owners, coaches, EPs, and anyone listening—that PROFIT—P.R.O.F.I.T—is not a dirty word.
