Justin Tamsett is the Managing Director of Active Management. He has managed and owned fitness clubs since 1990, and now travels the globe speaking on topics from business skills to work-life balance.

During this show JT updates us on his visits to some US gyms, he tells us all about SIP’s and we chat about how consumers have changed the qualities they look for in the brands that they support.

Also in this weeks show we hear from one of our wonderful listeners, and we announce the winner of our April prize – Jeb Blounts book, People Buy You.

Top Tips From The Show

When you run a competition, you need to ensure everyone has a fair chance of winning.

Consumers now want to support brands that are kind to their staff – which means make meaningful positive changes to your internal culture and then tell the world about it.

Party for 1 – Be aware of what consumers want, be careful not to push them into something that we want (eg: small group training) – maybe they don’t want to share!
