352: Meet Chris Downham: Property Developer, Financial Advisor, Yogi!?
Hop over the pond to join Studio Grow Coach and Consultant, Maura Vella, as she interviews Chris Downham, owner of R1SE Urban Yoga.
Chris’ life has been a rollercoaster ride: from property developer to financial adviser, from going bankrupt overnight to becoming the proud owner of a studio that broke even in it’s very first month!
Apart from digging deep into what each of Chris’ various professional avatars have taught him, we chat about what sets his studio culture apart from others, how he uses reviews, and his relationship with clients, and why he chose the Client Cure to help grow his business.
