CrossFit Bako Video Clip - Advice for someone wanting to start an Affiliate

A couple weeks ago I had an opportunity to visit CrossFit Bako and meet with the owners (Steve Esqueda and Manda Wood), conduct an interview and do my first ever WOD at an affiliate. My plan was to publish that interview in its entirety, show a clip of the WOD and move onto my next article.  The problem is that once I started editing I felt that the information I gained while on my visit would best be presented in small segments, but why you might ask?

From experience, most web users have the attention span of brain dead monkeys and the information Steve was giving out was way important stuff. It is so great that I don’t want to risk the chance that you might miss anything, so I’m gonna spoon feed you the info one baby bite at a time

So what does he talk about? Well everything from starting an affiliate to running one, plus a bunch more stuff. Content you just don’t want to miss.

Now the warning!

I have to warn you that the audio is pure crap. My fault on that one, I made a dumb ass decision early that morning and chose to camera mount the mic instead of hand-holding it….dumb, dumb dumb. So what you get is a great interview, with awesome advice that is slightly drowned out by the music in the background.

Sometimes, I can just kick myself, but that’s life and the show must go on.

Here is Steve giving some advice for anyone wanting to start his or her own CrossFit Affiliate.




Check back often to see all the clips from my interview, and to see the article about my first ever, Affiliate WOD, at CrossFit Bako (Coming soon).

See you in the hills.
