Not bad as a first launch. I would just say that your own picture is too low res and does not provide enough info about your background. A video demonstrating a session so we could see the environment would also be useful. Good luck.

Of course, of course

Agreed. Most changes to diet or programming will have a modicum of negative impact until the individual builds some adaptation to it.

Interesting how you note that intense exercise can decrease productivity, which is rational, but that you engage in it anyway due to the additional benefits it provides. So there is a balancing act between performance out of the gym (so to speak) and performance in the gym.

What are your considerations when making balancing decisions? Time is obviously a factor. High intensity requires less time (but perhaps more output from certain energy systems). Steady state cardio requires more time but taxes an energy system that is built to recover more quickly. Does your work day impact the exercise selection(s) for that day?

Mental health is definitely affected. Low impact may be energy conserving too so negative outcomes are reduce.

Interesting. What type of work do you do? And is the gym focused on strength training (I assume not to failure most days?)?

Sounds like intensity is your go-to. In general, what kind of business are you in? What are your high level responsibilities?

Anything helps. Light resistance, as in calisthenics?

And I bet a young god does better work in the office as well. How have you seen exercise over the last two years improve your professional performance/capacity? And what exercise modalities do you typically utilize?

What do you do to break the inactivity? What types of exercise do you find beneficial for those with entrepreneur-type responsibilities?

For sure. You can’t work at a high level if you’re ill or worse. How much should an entrepreneur prioritize it? What types of exercise should be prioritized, if any?

I don’t disagree. What is your exercise regimen?

Gives you flexibility to adapt to evolving work schedule though. And you can do it anywhere. Have you ever missed days, say due to work travel? What happens to mindset or work perception?

Haven’t played squash in decades. Everywhere out here is racquetball.

You think the productivity hit is greater when you can’t engage in cardio based exercise or strength training?

Your current training makes me believe your sport hobby is bjj because of your focus on functional strength.

After your injury, because your activity level is so varied and high, did you have reduced work performance? In what way? And has it improved since you were able to increase your exercise volume?

This is basically freight brokerage. Build a stable platform, competently handle administrative tasks, and develop a sound marketing strategy - and the actual delivery carriers, as well as freight customers, will value you as the “middleman.”

Develop training programs to retain talented staff.

This. Partnerships will help you grow your outreach and revenue, making your efforts much more productive.

Different business, different problems, but root causes seem to be similar. Ever growing consumer and employee expectations in an environment of limited employer resources. Sometimes it feels like they want you to just give it away for free.

The pain points you feel may be your exposure of the gaps in this business model. Instead of being frustrated by those gaps you may develop a fire to change or revolutionize the industry - to both save your sanity and address those identified issues. This perspective has altered the way I look at my own industry and has given me a renewed passion for increasing (not just continuing) my participation.

Best of luck.

Have you looked at Sharetribe as well? My team is building a B2B marketplace on Bubble and it is functional and scalable, but your idea may have other requirements, such as HIPAA, that Bubble does not address well.

Agreed. Check the coding and social media marketing boxes while you’re still young.
