| 0:00.0 | When I started V, again, I don't know why I was personally like this, but I just picked random goals. |
| 0:05.3 | I wrote them down to. I'd like this many gyms in one year, this many gyms in three years, |
| 0:09.1 | this many gyms in five years, and this many gyms in 10 years. |
| 0:15.5 | All right, so I think like what would be really cool to kind of talk about today, business in general is hard, but like doing it over and over and over and over again. Like I'm just amazed at like opening another gym and then like texting you in the process and seeing you grind through it. And then showing up on the day and seeing people like popping champagne bottles, fucking dancing. There's kids. There's like the like chandeliers |
| 0:43.5 | and the white like it just looked so dope, you know. Thank you. So obviously there's a lot of work |
| 0:49.3 | that goes into it and everything and we can kind of pick pieces apart. But like the thing that |
| 0:52.7 | fascinates me the most is that you're a mother of two. Three. Three. Okay. I was going to say two or three. Three. Do you have any |
| 1:01.3 | animals? I'll say you have horses. Okay. No dogs. Nothing inside. Okay. I don't know if a horse is |

| 1:27.1 | I can see. |
| 1:27.7 | You know, and I think it's clear that you prioritize that. |
| 1:30.3 | Um, and I think that is the coolest thing. |
| 1:33.4 | And I also think it's the coolest thing that you've done it. |
| 1:35.2 | So, um, I want to say old school just because nowadays people really think you have to. |
| 1:40.6 | And this is coming from somebody who built theirs online. |
| 1:43.1 | People think the only way to |
| 1:44.7 | grow a business is through social media and stuff. And it's just not the case. So when I see people |
| 1:48.9 | like you, I love it 10 times more. And I think it's so cool. And I learn a lot because it's a |
| 1:53.8 | completely different way of doing things than what I've done. And you've done it really well. |
| 1:59.1 | So I want to kind of pick all this apart. So for people listening, |
