You read that right. I just acquired my largest competitor.
For the last six months, I’ve been quietly navigating one of the most emotionally intense and professionally transformative seasons of my life while keeping this acquisition completely under wraps. And now, I can finally tell the full story.
Impact Fitness Coaching Academy (IFCA) has been one of the most respected names in the online coaching industry for years, helping more than 4,800 coaches scale to $10k, $100k and even $200k months through systems, leadership and operational excellence. From the outside looking in, they were the company I spent years aggressively trying to beat.
So how did I go from competitor to owner?
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on everything: how the opportunity landed on my lap, why I immediately knew I wanted IFCA, what the last six months behind the scenes actually looked like and what this acquisition means for my business, my clients and the future of the fitness coaching industry.
We’re talking about:
The emotional toll of making massive decisions without certainty
Wiring 50% of my net worth into one move
The difference between attention and trust in today’s market
Why the online coaching industry is changing rapidly
What this exposed in me as a founder
Why I believe trust is the most valuable currency in business now
The future vision for FCA + IFCA moving forward
This isn’t just a business acquisition story. It’s a conversation about leadership, expansion, identity shifts and what happens when the vision for your life suddenly becomes bigger than the version of ythat built it.
