In this solo episode of The Optimal Aging Podcast, host Jay Croft opens up about the powerful, often misunderstood topic of consistency—and why it matters more than intensity in fitness, business, and life.
Jay shares how showing up steadily over time—through writing, podcasting, and growing his business—has led to meaningful progress. But he also gets candid about where he’s falling short, particularly in emailing his prospects. If you're a gym owner or coach feeling stuck or impatient, this episode offers a refreshing reminder: Slow growth is not no growth.
You’ll learn:
- Why consistency beats intensity in fitness and marketing
- How Prime Fit Content is growing through steady effort
- Where even seasoned pros struggle with follow-through
- Tactics for getting back on track with grace and strategy
- Why self-compassion might be the key to long-term success
This is a must-listen for anyone building a business to serve people over 50—and anyone who’s ever felt like they’re not doing “enough.”
