    Episode 144 - How to grow your business in any economy with Eric Posner

    The fitness business is a passion fueled business, but…there's a big difference between a hobby and a business. Not many people can turn their passion into a viable business, but Eric Posner, CEO and Co-Founder of Swerve is one of those people. Today on The Business Side of Fitness podcast, Eric shares the grit that got him and his team within striking distance of their 10th year in business.  While several virtual fitness brands are laying off workforces and recalibrating projections, Swerve is raising capital. “Ultimately, the reason why we started Swerve in the first place was not because of the dollar. We did it because we love bringing people together and harnessing community and connecting one another in a way that's positive for your life. That's why we chose this path of uncertainty, over being in a corporate job that paid really well.” Tune in to today’s episode to hear Eric dish on: -Innovating from a brick and mortar model to a digital b2b model -What it takes to have staying power in this industry - How the team approach to fitness positively impacts utilization And much more.

ABOUT THE HOST Vanessa Severiano has two decades of experience creating, developing and growing brands in the fitness & wellness industry. Learn more about 1:1 mentoring with Vanessa: https://www.vanessaseveriano.com/consulting ABOUT TODAY'S GUEST Brian Chappon is the definition of a scrappy social entrepreneur and global citizen. A competitive athlete and seasoned expert in capital markets around the world, he takes an international perspective to building economic ecosystems and promoting health & wellness. Brian founded his career as a volunteer and intern with NGOs providing disaster relief. Seeing the economic impact of those environmental events led to a new focus on the need for sustainable entrepreneurship and investment ecosystems in developing countries. As a consultant and head of capital markets, he raised funds and created models to analyze high-return projects and de-risk public-private partnership investments. He built networks of insurance companies, PE/Financial service providers, governments, NGOs, and innovative projects to build wealth, jobs, and opportunities in new markets  in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. The mix of extended international travel, stress, and commitment to marathon training took a toll on his health. After the recession of 2008 he hit max burnout and went from what felt like being on top of the world to becoming homeless and living in a 24hour Starbucks in New York City. After shaking off the pain of failure Brian took a sabbatical to teach spinning in a high-end studio. During his time of reflecting he heard of the mental and physical health issues that fellow road warriors faced while traveling, and the idea to create a health studio in an airport was formed. He is now combining his passion for fitness, experience in entrepreneurship, and vision for global health to launch CENTRED-Wellness.com, the first travel health and wellness platform changing the way the world will travel during and after the global Covid-19 crises. brian@centred-wellness.com Learn about CENTRED here: https://centred-wellness.com/ **SPREAD THE WORD Please make sure to rate, review and subscribe to The Business Side of Fitness wherever you listen to podcasts.  Your support means so much and helps more than you know!
