Hey poddy fam! Today I’m chatting to Jacinta McDonell who made her mark in the business world when she brought the highly successful US franchise, Anytime Fitness, into Australia in 2008. At that time, the 24/7 gym model was unheard of in Australia, but Jacinta and her brother grew Anytime Fitness to become Australia's number one health club chain - opening over 425 locations nationally and achieving an annual network revenue of over $330 million before exiting in 2017. It was super interesting to learn more about the franchise model and about how she successfully scaled up to so many locations so quickly.
Fast forward to today - Jacinta is now a national board member for the Hunger Project, as well as sitting on advisory boards for other businesses and has recently started a new business Brave Spaces which supports others on their journeys of self-discovery, particularly through times of change.
