Is James Smith's Business Advice For You?
Notes de l’épisode
This week, Dan tries to manage a lingering cough while Tom enters the circle of hell known as London house hunting.
From useless estate agents to the controversial "gravy crumpet" video that’s dividing the internet, we cover the weird and the wonderful before diving into the serious business of coaching.
Tom breaks down the rise of "Runna" culture explaining why an app will never replace a coach who understands lactate thresholds and heart rate zones, and how you can program for running without a formal "qualification.
Then, Dan goes on a massive rant about personal branding after a call with a coach who was told not to share their life.
We call out the "James Smith advice" that’s leaving PTs with 50k followers and zero clients.
