Powersport Roundtable - Dec 9th - Part 2 Joe Marcoux With over 30 years of specialty retail experience, Joe Marcoux has managed, owned and sold retail fitness businesses. Since the sale of his last retail venture, Joe has played the roles of consultant and coach for high-ticket sales in the specialty fitness equipment and electric bicycle industries. He is a published author and has created programs that have helped thousands of sales people in specialty retail stores all over North America, Europe and Asia. Joe has been contracted to train, coach and help with integration for some of the world’s largest retailers to help them scale their business. He has been invited to speak at annual sales meetings, trade shows and events. Providing real life stories that are injected with humor, truth and memorable information, he inspires listeners to take action. He's proud to be from Winnipeg, Canada. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Joe is the youngest of three siblings in a French-Canadian family. At the age of 18, he became the manager of a specialty fitness equipment retail store while attending University. At 20, he opened his first retail store. At the age of 25, Joe decided to merge with another fitness retailer, becoming the 7th location in what would become a 38-store chain 18 months later. The Most Important Lessons: Ambition caught up to him in his early 30s and a devastating affair tore his young family apart. This was a defining moment in Joe’s business life. Not because his wife and best friend had an affair, but because Joe realized that it was his ambition that had kept him away from his family. He did not heed his own advice and was away from what he loved most for too long, resulting in a failed relationship. He co-parented his two daughters as a single dad for over 10 years. “If the first man a girl loves is her father, I would like to set the bar extremely high.” – Joe Marcoux Today, Joe, along with his wife and LeadCycles business partner, Shauna, live in Winnipeg and are close to all five of their combined children. They also spend as much time as they can at their cottage on Lake of The Woods, Ontario, when they are not traveling and training clients.
