b'Learning how to re-learn Theres just no denying it - COVID has completely reshaped how we live and how we do business. The rock band Foo Fighters have a song, Walk, in which they sing learning to walk again learning to talk again, and I kind of feel thats where were at now. Weve had to learn to re-learn, so to speak, in this new reality.Balanced Body has always been a solid business, steady and growing for 45+ years. Sure, there have been occasional hiccups, but nothing that was ever truly threatening. The pandemic changed all of that. The subsequent global shutdown was unprecedented and everything we thought we knew went out the window.In the beginning, all businesses were scrambling to get a hold of what the pandemic was. As days turned into months, some issues became urgent. Correct decisions one month became questionable the next and vice-versa. Then, as months became years, what was urgent neared crisis. We were continually pivoting to meet new demands in a different world.This is where relationships with our customers, our vendors, and internally forged a turning point. Transparency and trust are always critical, but during COVID, theyve been mandatory. And as lines of communication strengthened, so did joint successand its only getting better. This is such a strong, resilient community and Im so lucky to be a part of it. I want to thank you for your patience and support in 2022, and Im very excited about what awaits us in the new year. I hope you enjoy our 2023 catalog.Ken Endelman Founder, CEO | Balanced Body'
