105: How to Carve Out Your Niche in a Crowded Market (ft. Sean Oblizalo, Vows and Peaks)

We lost a legend. And are absolutely gutted. In honor of the icon, the inspiration, the hero that was Hilaree Nelson, we decided to republish her 2019 Stokecast interview. Through this, please allow Hilaree to continue inspiring your next great adventure and your most fulfilling life. On September 26, 2022, while skiing off the true summit of Mount Manaslu in Nepal with partner Jim Morrison, Hilaree Nelson was swept off her skis by a small avalanche that carried her off the south side of the face. Her body was found two days later. Hilaree will be missed, but her spirit and legacy will live on.

Meet Tempo trainer, Clarence Hairston, AKA Lil' Bizzy. Tempo is an AI-powered home gym that helps you hone your form and fitness right in your living room. Clarence was one of the first trainers to get onboard before this tech company took off.  In this episode, we go deeper than just what Bizzy is bringing to the fitness table. We dug into how to set goals in so many different areas of your life, how to stay motivated when those goals might go out the window, plus how to make positivity a switch that you can flip on demand. Outside of his POV on training, Clarence shares his candid story of how his personal and professional life developed after coming out of the Air Force, then coming out with his sexuality, and how he learned that the real opportunity was on the other side of authenticity. For the written recap and key takeaways on how Clarence channels vulnerability, positivity, and authenticity to better serve his clients and grow his business, check out: https://trainual.com/tempo-trainer-uses-authenticity-to-better-serve-clients/
