The Growing Wellness Industry: Carolyn discusses how more people are prioritizing their health and wellness, creating an ever-expanding market for fitness and wellness services. Whether working out at home, in a gym, or using virtual platforms, this shift is reshaping the way we approach our well-being.
Pivoting and Market Adaptation: Drawing an interesting analogy to Starbucks facing a hypothetical mandate against caffeine, Carolyn talks about the importance of staying adaptable.
