Two-Brain Marketing Episode 12: Rob Olson

Two-Brain Marketing Episode 12: Rob Olson

Today we are joined by Rob Olson of CrossFit Simsbury in Simsbury, Connecticut. 

Originally from Simsbury, Rob was first introduced to CrossFit at BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL Training) in 2008. While serving in the military as a Navy SEAL, Rob served tours to Afghanistan, Africa, and Europe. 

In this episode, Rob tells us how he made the leap from the military to full-time CrossFit affiliate ownership—and how he went from a struggling, fledgling entrepreneur to thriving small-business owner. 

You'll also learn about he generated a new revenue stream with CrossFit Simsbury's innovative program for moms: Diapers and Dumbbells. 

Join us today as we discuss Rob’s gym and how he is using Two-Brain Marketing to level up his business!

Don’t forget about the 2019 Two-Brain Summit, June 8-9 in Chicago! This year we have some amazing topics and guests for both your and your coaches. Click here to register and sign up now!
