Send us Fan MailMaster Jimmy Hong and Master Chan Lee sit down with Master Clinton Oh — founder of My Manager and the man behind a 75-school taekwondo empire — to break down why most school management software falls short and what a true all-in-one system actually looks like. This episode also marks the announcement of ASA Martial Arts' exclusive partnership with My Manager.Key Takeaways:Scaling to 75 locations came down to building simple, flexible curriculum paired with automated systems that enforce consistency without micromanaging instructorsMost school management platforms are "antiquated" — owners end up stacking a CRM, a lead pipeline tool, and a student management system just to cover the basicsMy Manager consolidates software, payment processing, and hardware (POS terminals, kiosks) into one system, so schools stop paying for five different toolsProcessing fees are often quietly inflated over time — get your statement analyzed rather than assuming your rate is fairBuilt-in AI pipelines (leads, birthday parties, follow-ups) automate the exact tasks that fall through the cracks when front desk staff get busyPricing runs $199–$499/month depending on features, and most schools recover the cost through processing fee savings aloneOnboarding is fast — core data transfers in a couple of days, with AI handling much of the migrationGuest Bio: Master Clinton Oh is the founder of Champions Taekwondo (75 schools), My Manager, and Next Level Media. A growth architect and business consultant, he's built over 100 strategic partnerships and led multiple successful exits.
