Sweat Equity Entrepreneurs: Linda & Charlie Graves Of Athletic Republic, Part 2

We’re back with our favorite sweat-equity couple, Charlie and Linda Graves of sports-training empire Athletic Republic. We’ll hear about how the rules of hierarchy in the office don’t work when you’re husband and wife. Linda says she admires that Charlie can handle tough situations, and rise above, which is a challenge for her. He says he’s grateful to have her working with him instead of somewhere else. And hear her admit that she slaps him a lot. (It’s all in fun.) All this and more from a couple who bought a groundbreaking but business-challenged performance sport training operation, rebranded it, and have turned it into a growing international franchise with over 120 locations.
