Join Debbie and host, Margie Chuang, for a raw and honest conversation about:

  • Building a business with your spouse and what you learn from each other along the way.
  • What it’s like to grow a company while raising young children.
  • How Debbie and Smash Gyms navigated closing all five of their locations during California’s shelter-in-place orders.
  • Community: What it looks like when your business and your clients show up for each other.
  • Embracing challenging times together can lead to new opportunities and business growth.
  • How great coaches can impact your mental and physical well being.
  • Recognizing that things may not go back to the way they were before COVID-19, but that we will make it through this unprecedented time together.
