059: Creating American Power Yoga + Simplified Genetics with Kurt Johnsen

This week on the podcast, I'm chatting with the founder of American Power Yoga and Simplified Genetics, Kurt Johnsen. Kurt is based out of Dallas, and he shares the story of creating American Power Yoga over 15 years ago. Kurt came to yoga from kung fu, and he took what he learned from his background in martial arts to create American Power Yoga. He didn't have a formal yoga teacher training and he hardly had any experience in the yoga industry, yet he was successfully able to create a studio that grew to be quite big. On this episode, Kurt shares the process of creating, growing and selling American Power Yoga, what he learned through running American Power Yoga, and the biggest business lessons he's learned through his career. We also chat about his new company Simplified Genetics, including where the idea came from, what it was like to start the business, and how it's grown over the last 2 years. Enjoy!
