In this episode, Michael reflects on his experience working with yoga studio owners and the common fears they face, particularly related to showing up on Instagram and in public. He shares his appreciation for podcasts as a platform for genuine conversations and explains why he has avoided solo episodes in the past. However, today he decides to break that pattern and dive into the current landscape of studio owners and their challenges.

Michael discusses the unique mix of clients he currently works with, including both new studio owners and those with varying levels of experience. He emphasizes the stark contrast between frazzled studio owners in constant reaction mode and calm, forward-thinking ones. Using Lisa from Tucn Yoga Pod as an example, he highlights the importance of having systems and a team in place that allows for a smoother operation and a more enjoyable work experience.

The conversation then shifts to the critical role of teachers in a yoga studio's success. Michael stresses that a studio is only as good as its teachers and emphasizes the significance of a thorough onboarding process and gut instinct when hiring. He advises studio owners to clearly communicate expectations and values to teachers, while also empowering them to be the best they can be. Michael encourages studio owners to support their teachers and help them improve, but also acknowledges that difficult decisions may need to be made if a teacher is not a good fit for the studio's vision.
