True reflection of the profession

Most fitness podcasts focus primarily on the physiology of the job. Some will focus on the business side but primarily on the customer service and/or sales portion. Almost none speak about accounting, finance, psychology, and even the philanthropy of the profession. To have a successful career, you can’t just be book smart. You have to educate yourself in all aspects of it, or at least have some fluency. That’s why I like this podcast. The variety of topics and professionals show how diverse the industry really is. It’s like a one-stop shop for education. That makes this podcast valuable, efficient, and effective for the working professional.
