Episode 136 involves a deep dive into Don’s process of building community around his fitness challenges, online group calls and fitness retreats. The global pandemic initially created a lot of challenges for fitness professionals, with in-person gathering discouraged and online strategies in short supply. But over the past 30 months, much has changed and the majority of people have adapted. Don discusses how he has pivoted to create a dedicated online and in-person community that spans the globe. His fitness retreats have been tremendously successful and he provides us with a look inside of the planning process and how he has managed to pull off what some might consider a risky venture in light of the side effects of the pandemic.
