  • 417 | Frustrated but Focused: School Owner Struggles No One Talks About
    2025/07/17
    Podcast Description In this raw and revealing episode of School Owner Talk, Allie Alberigo and Duane Brumitt have an honest conversation about what it’s like to run a martial arts school when things aren’t going well — and you still have to “stay positive.” They share their personal frustrations, reflect on recent events with low turnout and lack of engagement, and talk candidly about the pressure school owners feel to always be “on.” This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever felt alone in the grind of school ownership and needs a reminder that they’re not. https://youtu.be/a8RsXoE4qks Key Takeaways Even successful school owners experience disappointment and discouragement — you’re not alone. It’s okay to admit that an event or idea flopped; not everything has to be a win. Social media creates pressure to always show positivity, which can disconnect you from your authentic experience. Talking to other school owners who are going through the same challenges can be incredibly validating. There is value in sharing real struggles — not just the highlight reel. When things aren’t going well, sometimes the best move is to step back and reassess without judgment. Action Steps for School Owners Create a small peer group or accountability partner you can vent to without judgment. Review the last event or campaign that didn’t go well. What would you change? What’s not worth repeating? Schedule quiet time for reflection on what you want from your school — not just what others expect. Share your honest thoughts in a safe space (like our School Owner Talk group) to encourage others and reduce isolation. Give yourself permission to take a breath. Not every season is a growth season — some are for rebuilding. Additional Resources Mentioned None were directly referenced in this episode, but listeners are encouraged to revisit past episodes about leadership, burnout, and staying grounded.
