Health insurance can be one of the most confusing—and expensive—parts of running a small business. So how do you provide valuable benefits for your employees without watching healthcare costs eat away at your bottom line?

On this episode of The MotUS Edge Podcast, Stacy Rowe, Casey Jones, and Sean Timmons sit down with Brian Calvert, owner of Business Health Market and host of Health Insurance Doesn't Have to Suck Podcast. Brian breaks down health insurance for small business owners in language normal humans can actually understand.

They discuss small business health insurance options, high vs. low deductible plans, HSAs, employee health benefits, marketplace coverage, self-funded and level-funded plans, provider networks, and how employers can use benefits to recruit and retain great employees. Brian also explains why the cheapest health insurance plan isn't always the best choice—and what business owners should consider before choosing coverage.

✅Perfect for cheer and dance gym owners, studio owners, youth sports business owners, entrepreneurs, and small business leaders who want to better understand employee health insurance, control benefit costs, and make smarter decisions for their businesses and teams.

On this episode of The MotUS Edge Podcast, Stacy Rowe, Casey Jones, and Sean Timmons sit down with elite performance and mindset coach Jen Graffice, founder of Q Life, to explore the psychology behind mental blocks, confidence, pressure, fear of failure, and peak performance in youth sports.

Jen explains why a mental block may have very little to do with the skill itself, how parents and coaches can unintentionally add pressure, and why building confidence requires more than telling an athlete to "just do it." The conversation also dives into work-life balance for high achievers, intentional mindset practices, handling competition pressure, and the powerful idea of **normalizing failure to build resilience**.

You'll hear practical strategies for helping athletes regulate pressure, develop courage, learn from mistakes, and become stronger competitors—without making winning the only measure of success.

✅Perfect for cheer gym owners, coaches, youth sports leaders, parents, and athletes who want to better understand mental blocks, athlete confidence, sports psychology, performance anxiety, resilience, and how to create healthier high-performance environments.**

The holiday season doesn't have to mean slower revenue for your cheer gym. In this episode of The MotUS Edge Podcast, Stacy Rowe, Casey Jones, and Sean Timmons share practical, creative ways cheer gym owners and youth sports facilities can increase revenue during the holidays while strengthening their gym community.

From Halloween events, haunted houses, holiday camps, Black Friday "shop till you drop" clinics, Christmas markets, Santa workshops, parent nights out, New Year's Eve events, and seasonal fundraisers, the crew digs into ideas they've actually seen work in gyms. They also discuss using holiday events to attract new families, involve staff in generating fresh ideas, create community partnerships, and turn unused gym time into additional revenue.

But the holidays aren't only about making extra money. Stacy, Casey, and Sean also talk about gratitude, remembering your "why," celebrating the good moments, and recognizing the impact youth sports leaders have on athletes and their families. Their challenge? Start writing down three things you're grateful for each day—and see what happens when gratitude becomes intentional.

✅ Perfect for cheer gym owners, youth sports business owners, coaches, program directors, and facility managers looking for holiday marketing ideas, additional revenue streams, creative gym events, community engagement strategies, and practical ways to finish the year strong.
