Listen on Apple Podcasts | Listen on Spotify | Listen on YouTube

In this episode, I’m analyzing trends in the fitness industry and peering into the crystal ball with Joe Vennare to speculate on the future of health and wellness. Joe is a great guest to interview about these topics because he’s the co-founder of Fitt Insider, a platform that offers industry news and analysis of the business side of fitness and wellness. Specifically, Fitt Insider helps industry operators stay informed, make better decisions, and seize opportunities (especially in regards to startups and investments) through a weekly newsletter, podcast, and jobs board.

Joe is a content strategist who’s been in the industry for more than a decade and leads Fitt Insider’s research and media efforts. I wanted to get him on the show because Fitt Insider’s goal is closely aligned with my own: to help millions of people live healthier, happier, better lives. By being a resource to help startups grow and advancing the conversation around wellness itself, Joe and his team can help facilitate massive change in the industry. 

In our chat, Joe and I talk about . . .

The Case for Floundering and Quitting

Comparing yourself to other fitness folk is a sure way to feel lousy.  There’s always someone who looks better, lifts more weight, and has more of whatever you want. The deck is stacked.
