Episode Details

Scott Capelin went from a corporate desk job in his early 20s to owning five personal training studios, and now runs In Life Wellness, a Reformer Pilates franchise with nearly 80 locations across Australia, the US and New Zealand. He recently moved his family to Texas at 50 to open another 20.

30,000+ hours of coaching. Two books. Four kids. Eight years off social media while building all of it.

In this conversation, Scott breaks down the difference between motivation and inspiration, why your business will never outgrow you, the two questions that reveal your actual values, and how 90% of his studio owners started as members walking through the door.

If you've ever felt stuck on one blade of grass while there's a whole field out there, this one's for you.
