If you're dreading winter, worried about cancellations, and watching revenue walk out the door—this episode will be your game changer.

Because the truth is: winter doesn’t have to be a write-off. In fact, it can be the most powerful season for retention and growth—if you play the right game.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the exact seasonal retention strategy used by 7-figure studios to eliminate churn and actually grow over winter.

Here’s what we’re covering:

-Why “just getting through” winter is the biggest lie in the industry

-The internal behaviour change campaign that cuts churn to 1% (or less)

-Exactly how to set up your own Winter Warrior or Summer Survival program

-How to use identity and status to make your members beg to keep training

-The reason this isn’t a challenge or marketing play—and what it actually is

-Why free merch works like magic (and the $14 hoodie that saves your bottom line)

-How to build FOMO, social proof, and hype that makes other studios look boring

-The 3 program levels—from basic leaderboard to full-blown community movement

-The rollout checklist that will make or break your success

… and a whole lot more
