When I moved to Kanagawa I was looking for a new dojo. I tried a few places which might not even be on your radar. I did a few sessions with a systema group (I have some sambo experience) but that turned out to be very odd. I found a Kyokushin offshoot called Maki Dojo which wasn't really to my taste. If eventually found an Ashihara dojo in my town. This was right around the buildup to Tokyo 2020 so I asked if Ashihara Karate had anything to do with the Olympics. The instructor said no so I signed up immediately. I've been with them ever since.
Different people have different priorities it seems. :)
I enjoyed Sinek's framework as well, and I think I've consciously or unconsciously used similar strategies in my martial arts businesses over the years (3 schools, 1 tournament circuit that shut down with covid, and 1 online encyclopedia).
I wish more people would examine Sinek's viewpoint. I am certain that some people are stuck in the 80's and 90's and just assume things will continue as before, despite the evidence that is in front of their faces.

Oh yeah, the world is changing all around us, and now is no time to be an ostrich! Thanks for the food for thought, Tim.
