Manage episode 404039616 series 3499664
Today's guest said it best himself: "You can watch thousands of millions of hours yoga and Pilates classes on YouTube, but you can't watch a class on community."
Sonja Crystal Williams sits down to talk about the inception, growth, and community-building of M3 Yoga & Hot Pilates studio with its co-owner Matt Chambers!
In this episode, Matt and Sonja discuss how he's cultivated a vibrant yoga community both online and offline, and how strategic marketing plays a crucial role in the studio's success story. As the marketing leader behind the studio's growth in Athens and Atlanta, Matt imparts wisdom on the true power of social media and the subtle dance between paid advertising and organic, heartfelt engagement.
From seizing unexpected opportunities that lead to studio ownership, to exploring the contrast between the energetic teaching environment and the meticulous nature of marketing efforts, to carving out a distinct space in a crowded online fitness realm, Matt's journey is a testament to the magic that happens when passion aligns with profession.
