Promote Your Gym and Raise Money for Charity at the Same Time

You're about to hear what we like to call an "encore broadcast" so you may have actually heard this episode before. If you have, you should listen to it again because it's awesome. If this is new for you, we'll discuss how Matt Sharp, owner of CrossFit Maximus built a charitable referral system for their gym. Since we originally aired this show, Sweat Angels has brought about huge successes for gyms using their system and for the charities they've helped fund.
