## Resource

In this episode of Start Before You’re Ready, Kelly sits down with Brian McGee — longtime coach and owner of Fit360 in Washington, DC. Brian shares how a personal heartbreak launched his 24-year fitness career, how his grandfather’s active lifestyle and his father’s MS diagnosis shaped his purpose, and how he built one of DC’s most respected coaching gyms from a former laundromat. They explore what it really takes to grow a brick-and-mortar fitness business, navigate risk, and stay rooted in the identity of being a coach first, owner second. This one’s full of hard-earned wisdom for anyone who loves fitness, coaching, and the idea of starting before you feel ready. -- Let’s connect!
