  • 322 - How To Take 30 Days Off From Your Massage Business Without Losing Clients or Money
    May 4 2026

    Ever feel like your business is a treadmill that you can't get off of?

    In this episode, I break down what it really takes to step away from your massage business for 30 days, without losing money or clients.

    We'll get into:

    • Why most businesses can't survive 30 days without the owner

    • The quiet truth behind "time off"

    • The real problem most people miss

    • The emotional layer most people don't talk about

    • The difference between the two versions of time off

    • What actually has to be in place to step away

    • The real constraint holding most owners back

    • The math behind freedom

    • Why $10K/month isn't enough to fully step away

    • The real revenue and appointment target for freedom



    This conversation is especially for massage business owners who feel fully booked, but still tied to every part of the business.

  • 321 - How To Avoid Making A Bad First Hire In Your Massage Business
    Apr 27 2026

    You've thought about it. Maybe more than once…What if I hire the wrong person?

    What if they don't work out, clients notice, and you're stuck trying to undo the whole thing , financially and professionally?

    Here's what I've seen over and over: a bad hire rarely starts with a bad person. It usually starts with a bad setup: unclear expectations, a rushed decision, no real onboarding, and no way to know if things are working.

    In this episode, I break down exactly what creates a "bad hire" situation in the first place, and what to get right before you ever post a job listing.

    I'll also walk you through the three things I screen for in every hire - what I call the Right Hire Equation, and why getting those right has less to do with luck and more to do with knowing what you're actually looking for.

  • 320 - How To Be Rich And Exploit Massage Therapists In The Process
    Apr 24 2026

    Today's episode, we break down the exact step-by-step plan on how to exploit your fellow massage therapist and get rich in the process.

    Not really, BUT….this is an all too common issue we see inside the industry.

    The exploitative model isn't an accident. It's been repeated so often that most therapists think it's just what happens when you grow. Low pay. Back-to-back clients. No breaks. No future. Replace them when they burn out. Repeat.

    But that fear of becoming *that* owner is keeping you small.

    In this episode we're breaking down exactly what not to do the steps that built the franchise model and got copied by independent owners who never questioned why. Then we're looking at what actually works: how to build an ethical, sustainable business that's good for you, your team, your clients, and your wallet.

    Because there is a different way. And you don't have to choose between growing and staying the person you already are.
