Join host Gary Lipovetsky in the debut episode of the Creator Method Podcast as he sits down with Tracy Campoli, a dynamic fitness and wellness mentor, and entrepreneur who built a thriving digital career by turning setbacks into opportunities.

In this episode, Tracy opens up about her journey from a professional dancer and Pilates instructor in New York City to becoming a full-time content creator with a global audience. She shares the early struggles of working in the service industry, the leap to opening her own studio, and the pivotal moment that pushed her online. From filming DVDs in clients’ apartments to posting her first YouTube videos on a $20 flip camera, Tracy’s scrappy start laid the foundation for what would become a multi-platform business with millions of views and repeat brand partnerships.

Discover how a single viral video, the now-famous “Batwings Workout” catapulted her channel into the spotlight, and why she almost walked away from YouTube years later. Tracy reveals the turning point that reignited her passion, how she diversified income streams across AdSense, memberships, and sponsorships, and the mindset shifts that allowed her to grow even through plateaus.

More than just fitness, Tracy’s story is about resilience, reinvention, and the courage to keep creating when motivation runs low. Whether you’re an aspiring creator or a seasoned entrepreneur, her lessons on consistency, adaptability, and building long-term vision will leave you energized to push forward in your own journey.Apply for Creator Method:: https://creatormethod.com/ Follow Creator Method on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/creator.method/?hl=enSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Bjs61g10V8MEBjg2pfJFi?si=1a8b57227c8b41d7
