Summary
Fritz Lanman never envisioned he'd be at the healm of a company where tech and wellness collide. But today, he's the CEO of Mindbody; a tool that a majority of fitness studios use to help clients book online. Based in Montana, the entrepreneur tells us how it came to be for episode 238, and he sheds some light on the career path that enabled him to dream big and think bigger. He also shares some insight into his past injury history, which shaped both his mindset toward health and fitness these days, and the best advice he was offered after Mindbody bought Classpass in 2021. If you liked my conversations with Aly Orady, Hayden Slater, or Dr. Jason Wersland — you'll love this one, too.
