Michael Girdley (@Girdley) and Matthew Ford, we talk about a Crossfit Gym for sale in Florida. We will examine whether this business opportunity has a chance of success and investigate what is going on with the lease.

Finally, Mike and Matthew will discuss some strategies they would use to sell CrossFit Gym if they were business owners. In this episode, Mike also explains why going inland, away from the beach in Florida, is not a good idea for a business, especially if you live there.
