We were lucky to catch up with Chauncey Palmer recently and have shared our conversation below.
Chauncey, appreciate you joining us today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.
The moment that really changed the trajectory of my career was moving out of my parents house in boston @22 yrs and going to Los Angeles to continue to pursue my goals. My girlfriend was already living there and was a big influence to do so. I already built a name for myself in my city for personal training and being an athlete so it was time to relocate. So that is what I did.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
My journey has been very unique, which began with the love of basketball from a young age. I was one of the top athletes in my high school to attend a division-2 basketball program. After leaving the school a semester in I was confused on what I wanted to do in life. To me, that was the motivation, the drive I needed to pursue what was truly important to me. I began to major in Sports Management, where I discovered my passion to help teenagers and or young people. So, I decided to volunteer at a local YMCA in Manchester New Hampshire, close to the university I attended in 2017.
As we should all know, things don’t always go as planned. Well, guess what, that was the case for me. Things became a little difficult for me, living so far away from home and trying to maintain my focus on what I really wanted, so I chose to make a major move. The university I left was SNHU and transferred to a more affordable college and one that was closer to home. This allowed me to live at home while I broaden and direct my focus on exactly what I wanted to do. This my friends, gave me the opportunity to work closer with teens and young people, living in the moment of helping people. What else would I want than to do what I love. Well, this led me to discover other buried abilities. Let me explain, in 2018 I began working-out a lot and before you know it, I had people of all ages requesting to shadow me during an early morning workout. Of course, I did not mind, but this is where the light bulb went off, “you know what Chauncey, this might be your ticket, your ticket to establishing your own business”. After months of research, asking questions, reading books, studying and talking to other professionals, led me to building my own brand, “Fierce|Efforts.” Now finishing off the year 2022 a lot has changed. I have recently competed in MTV’s “The Challenge” along with motivational speaking across social media platforms. This progression has allowed me to relocate and take my brand from Massachusetts to California. The growth doesn’t stop here as there are many projects in store and are consistently being worked on. In the meantime lets work on our health and wellness so we can continue to live better.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
Most effective strategy is consistency. Being consistent in every aspect even social media helps a-lot when building clientele.
If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?
If I could go back, I wouldn’t change anything. Everything happens for a reason and our paths we walk are meant for us to take steps in.. It’s just our choice if we want to continue or choose another route.
