The map

Six audience layers, the narrative lanes within each

Every ring is a target audience room. Arcs on each ring group the shows by the narrative lane Walter would lead with there, so the reasoning behind each target reads at a glance.

The six layers

Inner rings are the commercial priority, outer rings widen the audience. Click a layer to isolate it on the map.

Dot size, priority signal

  • Tier 1. Operator and industry rooms. The commercial priority and the first wave of outreach.
  • Tier 2. Fitness tech, health tech and investor-adjacent shows that build category authority.
  • Tier 3. Trainer and consumer audiences. Valuable volume, pursued after the first two tiers land.

The panel stays open through the presentation.

Narrative lanes

The why behind every target

Four lanes and one through-line. Each room is assigned a single lead lane and the others stay in reserve, so Walter would spend the interview teaching rather than defending the product.

01Member Experience Layer

9 shows

AI as infrastructure across the whole member experience, augmenting the trifecta of operator, trainer and member rather than replacing any leg of it.

02Behavior Change Retention

7 shows

Better programming is not what retains members. Showing up is. The real product is motivation, and retention is the number every operator is measured on.

Behavior change, not programming, is what retains members.

03What a Real AI Coach Requires

6 shows

A wrapped LLM has no safety guardrails, no periodization logic and no knowledge of the individual. Taught openly, never against a named competitor.

A wrapped LLM is not a coach.

2 Tier 1

04Fitness Data to Health Data

9 shows

Training behavior paired with consented health data at a scale academic institutions cannot match. Observed patterns only, no causation verbs.

Heart rate recovery is the next VO2max.

05Warrior Monk Founder

3 shows

Walter's biography is the credential that makes the other four land: ASX-listed tech founder, eight years at the Shaolin Temple, lifelong fitness professional.

Ancient wisdom, modern times.

The first moves

Wave 1 is the operator and industry room we want to land first, where the member experience layer would land hardest and Walter would teach rather than pitch. This is our outreach priority; everything after it builds on that credibility.

Wave 1, outreach first
