Welcome back to "The Business of PT," where we dive into the stories and strategies of personal trainers and fitness professionals navigating the industry.

In this episode, we sit down with David Jackson, aka Jacko, a former professional rugby player turned breath coach. Jacko's journey is a remarkable tale of resilience and repurposing after being forced to retire from rugby due to brain trauma.

Through his own recovery process, Jacko discovered the transformative power of breath work and its connection to brain health. This realisation led him to establish a highly successful and specialised breath coaching business, carving out a unique niche in the industry.

During our conversation, Jacko shares three invaluable insights that he believes can benefit fellow personal trainers:

1) The importance of creating space for introspection and reflection, both personally and professionally.

2) Embracing opportunities with a willingness to learn and adapt, while also learning to gracefully decline when necessary.

3) Recognising that growth and scalability may not be the right path for everyone, and prioritising what aligns best with your individual goals and values.

Join us as we delve into Jacko's journey and uncover the lessons that can elevate your approach to personal training and business management.
