Growing Stronger Through Collaborations with Chris Davis & Stephanie Aubrey

This week we welcomed Chris Davis and Stephanie Aubrey to the show. We wanted to talk with both Chris and Stephanie to pick their brains about how they have successfully joined forces to create a collaborative health business in the brick-and-mortar space. Chris Davis is the owner of TriForce CrossFit and Stephanie Aubrey is a Physical Therapist on staff at the gym. Additionally, Chris’ wife Megan is also on staff at the gym as their Registered Dietitian. TriForce is successfully combining fitness, nutrition, and physical therapy all under one roof. We discuss what led Chris and Stephanie to work together, what it’s like working collaboratively with like-minded individuals, the idea of crafting your perfect day, and having the confidence to step out and do something different. If you are a coach looking to work in a collaborative space with other practitioners, there is a lot to learn from this episode.
