If you want to add a multiplier to that, have them actually schedule those goals in their calendar. Precommitment is one of the most undervalued levers in behavioral science (that's behavioural to you @guru_paul 😉).
For each goal that a member reports making progress on, their risk of cancelling in the next month falls by approximately 10%. Tracking visit frequency as a goal is just as important as other physiological measures. #lunchtimelessons.

I'm not a big podcast guy (yet), but episodes like this one are changing that. This one is packed with takeaways. @jaypapasan is a wealth of knowledge, and @nathanbarry is a great interviewer. There's a "you put your chocolate in my peanut butter" metaphor there somewhere.
Loved getting to be a part of one my favorite podcasts!.

One of the best things about fun is that it's personal—what’s fun for one of us might be dreadful for another. Our sense of humor is no different. That’s why workplace humor is tricky. Done right, it builds trust and connectedness. Done wrong, it creates stress and.

Ain’t going to lie, in my feels today. Just heard they ripped down the Kingda Ka, and given it was the last memory I have with my brother, I would have loved to ride it again someday with my kids—especially since they inherited Brian’s and my love for coasters. It’s a reminder
