The 3 People Who Need to Launch an Online Course
00:33:31
What do Fit Pros, Waitlisted Service Providers and Industry Superstars have in common?
They should all launch an online course (or coaching program, or digital product), like - yesterday.
In this episode I share my top 3 picks for who can successfully launch an online offer and give a roadmap to how to get started.
If you're an instructor, a waitlisted 1:1 service provider or someone with a fixed salary but who is a leader in your industry... listen up. Digital products might just change your life, like they did mine (like, 6 figures changed).
Takeaways:
1) If you want to scale, you need to either add another service provider to your business or add a passive revenue stream. By adding a course or digital product to your business, you can better serve your 1:1 clients by giving them specific training on areas that complement what you do so well- keeping them coming back, but also giving them greater results!
2) If you're a Fit Pro, you have a built-in audience and are already doing the work of being an entrepreneur. Adding a virtual program to allow your following to access you is going to deepen their connection with you, complement what you're doing in your studio, and give your "people" greater access to the magic you already serve them up with.
3) If you're an industry leader, you likely have a rockstar recipe that has your colleagues (and maybe even competitors) asking "how the heck did you do X?". Launching a program or a course that "teaches your industry" will benefit your community, but also add a source of revenue that doesn't rely on asking your clients to do more with you. I give tangible examples of who should do this and even a few ideas to get you started.
If this episode rocked your world- head to the TLF application page below and set-up a call with yours truly to see if launching an online offer is right for you this year. Applications close July 7 for my late-summer cohort!

From Failing the Bar Exams to a $30k Launch: Piper Riley Thompson, Ontario Bar Exam Coach
00:55:38
Ready for a masterclass in failure, resiliency, and monetizing your magic?
Piper Riley Thompson is a friend AND client who shares exactly how she created a thriving business (Ontario Bar Exam Coach) out of one of the hardest times in her life - failing the bar exams - and then having a waitlist of students wanting to work with her.
This conversation is hands down one of my favourites - ever.
We both get super vulnerable talking about debt (PSA: law school is extremely expensive!) money, mindset, realities around launching and ultimately how Piper managed to launch Bar Exam Bootcamp to leverage her experience and scale her offerings into making more than $30,000 in her first launch.
We also talk about how to let go of the fear of judgement from others and the bullsh*t we scare ourselves into believing that could have stopped us in our tracks.
Whether you're curious about course launching or just want to tune in for a ridiculously honest and vulnerable conversation about life, business, money, and burnout...
You're in the right place.

Creating safer spin spaces: why I'm not playing Kanye West in my rides.
00:18:04
This quick episode is mostly for my fellow instructors, coaches, and fit-pros who make playlists (DJs, you too!)
In it, I talk about my decision to eliminate Kanye West's music from my rides based on hate speech and anti-semitic remarks he's openly said, and doubled down on, in recent weeks.
Instructors: we have a platform, a pedestal, and a microphone that gives us the ability to create spaces where people feel safe, validated, connected to others, inspired by, and motivated from.
Getting intentional with the artists you play and the values they reflect is a key element of this, and a responsibility I'm continuously reminded of.
Listen to this quick episode and let me know what you think in the DMs.
Want to join a community of values-driven fit pros? My next round of Instructor Magic opens on November 7: waitlist here!

00:54:32

Now, Jordan inspires other instructors and fit pros through relatable content, inspirational messages and sharing her light with others on IG- and now through merchandise.
We talk about how to come back from failed auditions, feeling confident in being yourself on social media (and how to put yourself "out there"), Instructor Magic, creating options for your riders and get really tactical with a step-by-step approach to making new riders feel comfortable in your rides.
I also announce two new masterclass dates to celebrate the launch of Instructor Magic, opening its doors for the sixth time on November 7.

In this excerpt we talk about room leadership and give specific examples of how to correct *while encouraging* and celebrating those who need some more time to develop before hitting all of the choreography...
How to prepare yourself mentally to level up on the podium
What is required to reach the next level (gives me goosebumps to hear KG talk about it in this clip- because it has arrived for her!!)

{Live Workshop for Instructors} 5 Keys to Fitness Instructor Mastery
01:30:27
You asked for it, friend.
For the first time, I'm sharing an audio version of my free workshop and masterclass: 5 Keys to Fitness Instructor Mastery!
This is the training I've delivered to more than 1000 people from around the world through my LIVE webinars since launching Instructor Magic more than 2 years ago.
In this workshop, you get my 5 Keys to Fitness Instructor Mastery with TANGIBLE takeaways you can implement TODAY.
Motivation
Marketing
Musicality
Coaching
Mindset
Yes, you can still take the video training and access all of my slides, the chat, and experience the magic that happened when I recorded this workshop with 50 live humans on Feb 13... to do that, head HERE.
But if you're a multi-tasker, here's the audio training of my workshop to listen in your airpods!
I might have juuuuust ruffled some feathers with this episode title... but hear me out.
The real title is: No One Cares About Your Playlist As Much As You Do... Here's 5 Things to Focus On Instead.
^ that might have ruffled even more feathers.
I constantly get asked "how much time" I spend on my playlists, and the answer usually surprises people: 20 minutes, probably less.
Why? I have a system that works- and once repeated, I simply don't need to focus on the order of my music or even the tracks themselves.
So if you're spending 2 hours on your playlist, here's your quick and dirty episode with FIVE things you should be doing instead to enhance your rider experience:
1) Memorize everyone's names (or 4 - 5) 2) Re-work an existing song you have in your archive by flipping the tempo and adding new choreography 3) Come up with new themes for the next month 4) Spend time before and after the ride connecting with people, sending DMs 5) Consume books, podcasts, and look for quotes to inspire you with new motivation to sprinkle throughout your ride/class
Get out your notebooks and listen to this very niche instructor rant on rider experience > playlisting!

Ugly Growth and Becoming Wild + Worthy with Subconscious Freedom Coach Andrea Kauenhowen
01:06:43
What if you could forgive yourself and realize you did exactly what you needed to survive? What if you could dig into your grief and use it to create art and gifts for the world? What if processing your emotions and becoming aware - not a bigger title or job or money- was the biggest key to happiness? What if healing was actually learning how to hold pain?
These are just SOME of the questions my guest and I talk about today, where we dig into the hardest experiences of our lives and how they've shaped us to be coaches with a desire to impact the world.
Andrea is a trauma-informed, subconscious freedom coach & host of the uglygrowth podcast.
She offers 1 on 1 mentorship and group programs for changemakers that desire to break self-sabotage and dissolve limiting beliefs, so that they can create new habits, confidently share their gifts, and magnetize their desires.

Trigger warning: grief and plant medicine is discussed (psychedelics).

Why You Need a Hustle Season
00:22:54
Hear me out: I'm not here for the glamorization of hustling 365.

This episode I share my experiences with hustling with intention, how to schedule in rest, how to celebrate, and how the hustle season will set you up for a CEO season: with grit, work ethic, and hustling above the norm... without getting burnt out.

10 Things Affecting Your Class Numbers (and What to Do About Them)
00:32:33
One of the HARDEST jobs we have as instructors or coaches is to look at how many people sign up for our classes and figure out what’s going to make MORE of them come back.
And, sometimes the reasons they don’t show up has NOTHING to do with you.

Welcome to the Instructor Magic Masterclass Series!
Every round of Instructor Magic, I hire expert fit pros to deliver Masterclasses as Guest Coaches to enrich the overall educational experience inside my program.
As a part of the Summer School Launch of Instructor Magic, I'm releasing *mini* excerpts of some of these masterclasses to show what types of discussions and support are inside my signature course OUTSIDE of the core curriculum.

Community > Competition in the Fitness Industry
00:35:14
My take on Community > Competition in the Fitness Industry?
Sometimes, it's bullshit.
Stay with me: I don't think it should be.
In fact, I think Community Over Competition is the thing that makes group fitness magic. It's what quiets the ego, centers our clients/riders, and lifts everyone up.
It moves our entire industry forward and therefore helps more people have the lifechanging impact we know is possible through group fitness.
But sometimes, people use it as a slogan for a shirt without actually embodying what it MEANS to say, Community>Competition.
Or, we ourselves can slide into competing with our own team, being passive-aggressive when riders/clients share they're going to another studio, or fail to celebrate the achievements of others.
EPISODE OVERVIEW:
In this episode, I give an update on my life for the last 8 weeks (PS, it's been rocky... and I might cry for just a second in the intro), share where I'm going, and a metaphor for coming out of the darkness.
Around 11 minutes in, I share my TOP takeaways for embodying Community over Competition even when your ego tries to push you into comparing and competing with others.
Top takeaways:
Celebrate your team (instructors). Their success doesn't mean you won't have it too.
Encourage your riders/clients to expand their modalities and workouts
Plan a group workout to go to another studio with your riders, instructors, etc.
Allow yourself to be inspired by the success of others
As a studio: don't market your community by encouraging others to leave the ones they're currently a part of (a la SoulCycle/Peloton)

When to Quit: Burnout, Breaks, and Toxic Studios
00:26:58
If you're dragging yourself to the studio (or your workplace) and have a deep feeling that you might be "done" with teaching... This episode is for you.
In this quick, straight-to-the-point chat I dive into the sensitive topic of recognizing when it's time to make a change in your life, whether you're an indoor cycling instructor or anyone facing burnout and challenges.
I even get personal about the time I should have left a workplace sooner than I did, and how it's affected me since.
Whether you're an indoor cycling instructor OR someone who has a niggling feeling that it might be time to quit, this episode is for you.
STUDIO SALES ACCELERATOR: AUGUST 20 WORKSHOP REGISTRATION Use code EARLYBIRD until August 9!
RESOURCES MENTIONED:
The Big Leap by Gaye Hendricks
Crucial Conversations book
🎙️ Episode Highlights:
Recognizing Burnout: Are you just disinterested or truly done? Pay attention to how long you've been feeling this way and whether it's a consistent feeling of being over it.
Physical and Mental Symptoms: Identify the physical and mental symptoms you experience, like migraines or chronic stress, as they can be indicators that it's time for a break.
The Zone of Genius: We talk about how to recognize the difference between operating in your "zone of excellence" (where you excel but might not be fully passionate) and your "zone of genius" (where you feel aligned, energized, and creative).
Toxic Work Environment: Toxicity can take a toll on your confidence and well-being for years to come- and one of the few situations where I recommend getting the F out as soon as humanly possible.
Taking a Break: Sometimes, all you need is a break to recharge and get creatively inspired. Take time away from the usual routine to rediscover your passion.
Reducing Your Schedule: A reduced schedule can be liberating and help you focus on your strengths and other side hustles that bring you joy.

Creative Inspiration vs. Copycats: How to Give Credit as a Coach or Creator and What to Do if Your Work Has Been Plagiarized
00:48:34
Creative Copycats, Plagiarism, and Drawing the Line Between Inspiration and Imitation as a Coach and Creator
Have you ever felt the sting of seeing your original work, choreography, social media post or ideas taken or copied... without being given credit?
Flat out: it sucks, and it can feel like you've been robbed of something.
And in the realm of social media and online communities where content reels reign, trends are fast, and you don't even know who the original creator IS- it's not *always* intentional.
In this episode, I share my experiences with being copied as a creator, how I responded, and how you can both avoid it and address it if you ever find yourself in the same position.
A note: this episode isn't talking about plagiarism in the post-secondary education sphere, or, to provide any legal advice regarding copyright infringements.
Resources mentioned: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert - the phenomenon of two people having the same unique idea. Terms & Conditions and Copyright Agreements - I use Contracts Market for all of my legal agreements.
Key takeaways:
The difference between inspiration and plagiarism
How to give credit when you're inspired by someone else
How to approach someone when you'd like to collaborate, duplicate, or work with someone's original concept
How to address someone when you feel that they've copied or duplicated your work
Examples of what this can look like in social media, indoor cycling, and work

How to master taking hard feedback and being called the 'easy' instructor
00:20:59
Ever felt the sting of being called 'the easy instructor'? Or, on the other hand, "the hard" instructor?
Whatever the label, taking feedback from someone who doesn't exactly vibe with your class format can feel hard, and it's come up multiple times in my Instructor Magic community.

Navigating Feedback: Insights into handling feedback, especially when it challenges our perceptions of our teaching style.
The Art of Accessibility: Strategies for making group fitness classes accessible and aspirational for a diverse range of abilities. *Note, we talk about this on a scale of beginner to veteran, not necessarily to adjust to disabilities or other considerations when talking about accessibility.
Beyond the Trends: A critical look at how fitness trends can shape our teaching but might not always align with what participants need or want.
Community Building: The importance of creating an inclusive environment where everyone, from first-timers to seasoned enthusiasts, feels welcome and valued.
Personal Reflections: A candid discussion on personal growth, dealing with conflicting feedback, and finding one's unique voice in the fitness industry.

'A' is for Anxiety: identifying triggers, overcoming attacks, and stopping the cycle
01:14:43
Have you ever felt a physical manifestation of fear, even when there was no imminent danger? A fear that creates a sinking pit in your stomach, heart-racing and blood pumping feeling, a blushing, stuttering moment that stops you from articulating yourself, stops you from getting that job, or performing in a game?
Have you let a place hold power over you for fear of its anxiety-inducing association? And finally, have you experienced body-focused repetitive behaviour (code: nail biting)?
Today we talk all things anxiety and I share my story as it relates to the physical manifestation of an anxiety disorder and how I've overcome it to reach my goals. Lessons learned include techniques to break through the moment of anxiety, how to switch the narrative, and how to identify triggers in order to develop a positive mental health plan.

Instructor Mastery Series: How Visualization is Your Key to Confidence
00:17:23
What if I told you that simply visualizing your success would make it happen?
(Would you spend a few minutes with your imagination?)
Spoiler: it's true. Researchers have proven visualization to dramatically improve performance when you spend time envisioning success (and how it feels, sounds, tastes, etc.).
High-performance athletes have done this for YEARS and in today's episode I share how I first came to use this practice (nearly 20 years ago!) and have continued to use it as a pre-ride ritual to improve my confidence before I teach.
I'll take you through a visualization exercise you need to listen to before you teach, talk about how and when you should use it, and how to adapt and scale to other activities in your life.

Money, Honey. Money Mindset Shifting from Shame to Empowerment
00:59:57
Money, honey.
It makes the world go 'round, and yet- it can be veiled in secrecy and shame- especially for those who missed out on the whole financial education part of growing up.
In this solo episode, I talk about how growing up shapes your relationship with money and can affect your relationship with finances. We pull back the veil and in sharing my story, I try and help you feel empowered to take a deep breath and move forward to step into your greatest blessings and dreams.
(Sounds a bit woo, woo, right?)
Getting comfortable with wealth IS possible, but it requires you to take control now.
Buckle up, grab your favourite coffee, and take a seat for the first part of a series on money- starting with your mindset.

Harnessing ADHD as your Superpower: How My Diagnosis Changed My Life
00:56:41
Did you know that ADHD is diagnosed in women later in life?
Or that research shows that people with ADHD are more likely to become, and might even make better entrepreneurs?
As a recently diagnosed neuro-divergent (ADHD) human, I'm sharing my lessons learned, major symptoms, workarounds and successes as a result of having ADHD my entire life- but only realizing it in the last month.
Through acceptance, grace, and understanding, I share and why I think ADHD is my superpower and has helped me with brilliance, creativity, and enthusiasm in my career and interests.
*Note, I'm not a physician and am only sharing my experiences... I highly recommend doing your research, listening to other podcasts, and speaking to your physician to get a diagnosis of your own! :)

Humble, Hungry, and Confident: Building Power & Flow with Kristina Girod
00:54:26
Whew. This episode has been one in the making for months, and the result of a manifestation of a trip and a dream to meet Kristina Girod, CEO and Chief Motivation Officer of Power + Flow in Scottsdale Arizona.
Tune in to this episode where I chat with Kristina about her philosophy and approach to recruiting and developing instructors, her journey to becoming an instructor, opening Power + Flow during a *pandemic*, how she connected with AARMY Co-Founder Angela Manuel-Davis... and, what Superbloom means to her.
We talk about grief, being a perpetual student, how instructors can apply an athletic mindset to getting feedback... and aligning yourself with excellence in all ways.
Also discussed: my trip to Arizona and the *ah-maze-ing* airbnb everyone asked about... tips for travelling solo, and how I approached this trip with scheduling, priorities for spending, and what made me say YES despite going completely alone.
Thank you to Kristina, the entire Power + Flow crew and Angela Manuel Davis

How Online Offerings are the Key to Doubling Your Salary in 2022
00:40:01
Okay, hear me out.
Are you in the time-for-money trade? (Not sure? The answer is probably yes).
This means you get paid for your time, instead of your offerings. Think 1:1 services, or having a set salary for your time.
Symptoms? Burnout, realizing you're not hitting revenue goals but can't increase them, feeling like there's got to be more than what you're doing in order to increase your salary.
You can double your salary without ditching your 9-5 and the way to do this is by creating an online offering with massive profitability.
In this episode I give listeners the down and dirty 45 minute overview on what exactly online courses are, questions and considerations for how to come up with your first online offering, and the potential revenue available to you.
I *also* get real about who shouldn't be a coach/course creator... and, who absolutely should.
Ready to take action on your new course or online offer idea? I'm launching an accelerator program that teaches you how to create, launch, and scale your course using only organic marketing (no ads) strategies... think of it as your A-Z plan.
PSST: Instructor Magic is also launching, friends. Head to this link to jump into a free webinar to get to know me and ask me anything about how to get to waitlisted classes.
