    The Price of Progress: Why Great Coaches Invest in Learning Before Likes With Benny Price

    In this episode I sit down with Benny Price, Operations Lead for RTS Global, to explore the often unspoken realities of investing in yourself as a fitness professional.  Benny openly shares how taking out loans for education and prioritising learning over quick wins shaped his career trajectory - from teaching in Southeast Asia to working with world-class athletes. The episode challenges modern coaching culture, where social media influence often overshadows practical expertise.  Through stories of financial struggles, educational gambles, and career-defining moments, Benny reveals how being willing to invest time and money into genuine education - even when it means short-term sacrifice - creates long-term success that automated DMs and follower counts can't replicate. You will hear raw insights about the real cost of becoming great at your craft, including Benny's journey from being "begrudgingly" present at his first RTS course to leading global operations.  The conversation explores why some coaches achieve sustainable success while others chase quick fixes, and how surrounding yourself with the right mentors - even when it stretches your resources - ultimately shapes your professional DNA. Whether you're considering a major educational investment or questioning the true path to coaching excellence, this episode offers an honest look at what it really takes to build lasting expertise in an industry often distracted by surface-level success.
