Episode 107 | MDV & Gabe Yanez | What Happens When Your Coach Gets COVID-19
Today's episode is the first of it's kind! Jason sits down with two of the guys behind the NCFIT Collective, MDV and Gabe, to host an NCFIT Collective Webinar. This topic is not only a current reality for NCFIT, but one that will most likely happen for other gym operations out there--so, we found it incredibly important to share this conversation with the greater community. Together, the three map out what policies and procedures NCFIT put in place to re-open safely, legalities, and the communications with coaches, staff, and members about an employee testing positive for COVID-19. This episode's goal is to help listeners better prepare for this possible situation, and get their action plan ready.
