Spooky vibes start us off!   Meredith is on a LOTR kick.  Sheldon took a trip to New Orleans.  And the changing of the seasons is here so we retreat to the indoor equipment!  We also take a dive into Meredith's candy handing out dilemma.

Rowan Foggitt is our esteemed guest from the UK.  He brings a great technical and real world expertise to the bike due to all of his road cycling experience.  We discuss his path to fitness and coaching and it is a reminder that not everyone discovers their passion in life right away.  Rowan discovered his a little later on and now even has two businesses of his own with a very specific niche.  Sheldon is trying to understand the voodoo magic that lets Rowan look 10 years younger than him despite being a few years older!  On Instagram find him @5060fit

In industry news, Peloton cuts again and launches the sale of refurbished bikes at a discount.  related to this, selling your connected fitness equipment just gets harder and harder as the market is flooded with unused devices.  Lawsuit from a Peloton instructor that we learn was making something like $260k a year... We talk salaries a bit, and in related news Soulcycle is lowering the pay of their top instructors from $300 to about $100 a class.  A former Peloton instructor posts a video on how to jailbreak a Peloton bike... so you can use the content from her new company.... that should go over well.  

In Echelon News - Costume Contest!  Curvy Echelon Crew invades Miami.  Dani runs a marathon and qualifies for Boston.  Lindsey Gurry is getting married!  Some fun names, and ALLLLLLLL the shoutouts with a few familiar names and former guests hitting some milestones.
