When a man becomes a father, he can naturally do what some animal species do – leave the offspring with the mother and go on about his own business. In our modern world, the man who wishes his son to have the most freedom must by ironic necessity enslave himself to the growth and development of his progeny.

It is also my unique situation; I've helped to build the business in which I work. I have salary and benefits, which seems to be very unique in this industry. I plan to open my own studio location in the next few years. One question: I've been considering pursuing an MS in nutrition. However, I have no interest in teaching at a CC or having a separate nutrition practice. I've also seen the Graduate Certificates that universities offer, which seems like a cheaper way to expand my knowledge base while gaining some additional credibility for my business. Do you have a take on these? Best, Skyler Alan – I have been on sabbatical for the better part of June, hence the late response.

The wait is only gonna get worse, oh well. Until I can split into several people... PS - have you looked into spots where you could set up your own operation?

It´s like a friend of mine experienced in China when he wanted to learn tai chi. The master said he could come watch for some long period of time before he could participate. I can´t do this with my clients yet (I don´t own the studio) but I´d sure like to for this very reason. Best, Skyler Alan,

Fitness and coaching are passions of mine, but ultimately my family is what is most important! Great post! Cheers Liz N Hi Alan,
