Greg is one of the first people I ever remember using Facebook ads to sell a lifestyle diet. I remember seeing them and thinking his style was a little ostentatious, but also thinking that he was kind of a genius. Hell, he was just doing something he believed in and he decided to market the hell out of himself. And you know what?? He's KILLING IT. There's a lot of negative press about him here and there, but you know what they say... "If you don't have haters, you're probably not that successful." In this podcast I try dig into the roots of where kinobody came from, I try dig a little into Greg's personal life, and we talk a little business. He's a rare guy to get on a podcast, so I'm excited for y'all to listen.

Dave Gallagher is the owner of Savage Barbell. Savage Barbell is not his full time job. Dave is a full time fire fighter in Southern California and runs Savage on his days off from the fire station. He started Savage Barbell after a very poor customer service experience at the CrossFit Games in 2014. He thought, "these people have such a great community and this is how they treat us?" He started Savage with a college buddy, who runs a web design marking company in Huntington Beach, California. They wanted to "offer a great product line that knows without its customers, we are nothing!" In this episode of Barbell Shrugged, the crew breaks into the intricacies of small business, building a clothing brand, competing against the giant in the industry, and how being a full time firefighter captain fuels the mindset and success of the company. http://savagebarbell.com/shrugged to save 25% on your first purchase.

Everyone knows Marcus as the "Functional Bodybuilding" guy, but what else do you really know about him!? I really wanted this podcast to get into some of the deeper stuff in Marcus's life. I also wanted to chat about some of his business strategies, how he built his business, and any future goals he may have. Like Lance Armstrong's famous book "it's not about the bike"... This podcast his not about functional bodybuilding. It's about Marcus and his path to success.

TJ is the e-commerce mastermind that keeps BUBS' sales and customer acquisition on the upward trajectory. On today's episode, Jason sits down with the co-founders of BUBS Naturals, Sean and TJ, to talk shop.

For any of you that have ever worked your way through the hero WOD, "Glen," you too have paid tribute to the 'why' behind BUBS. It is clear that Sean and TJ are the epitome of grassroots business owners that are doing the right thing for the right reasons. The two take listeners through the beginnings of Bubs, their unlikely business choices, how they maintain a healthy business partnership, and what true customer service really is. Minute Breakdown: 0 – 10: Hero WODs and the beginning of Bubs. 10 – 20: Breaking all business rules and doubling profit anyway. 20 – 30: Quality checking, digital marketing, and return on investment. 30 – 40: Connecting with your consumer and writing 6 figure checks.

Imagine this… You are working out like you always do, you reach down to deadlift the barbell one more time and, bang, your back goes out. You have pain like you have never experienced before. You crawl to your phone and call your spouse and friends to come help you because the pain is so bad. What goes through your mind? . That's exactly what happened to Nicole's Active Life 1 on 1 client, Robert. Robert is a CrossFit Affiliate owner in Lakeland Florida. He owns Lift Lakeland, and it is in that gym that he found himself laid out, unable to move without intense pain. . In this podcast we talk about how Nicole helped Robert go from having fear day to day around anything that included a hip hinge, to deadlifting, and olympic lifting again. And we also discuss how that experience changed the course of Robert's career forever. . In this episode you will have the opportunity to hear how important this all was to Robert's wife. The thing about pain and injury is that too often we look at it as pain and injury to the body, and we do not consider the impact it has on the mind. In this episode, we put that concept in play. Minute Breakdown: 0-10 - "I'm scared" 11-20 - Assessment results 21-30 - A handwritten letter from the Robert's wife 31-40 - 2 month in, pain is reduced, but still no deadlifts 41-50 - Most CrossFit gyms add volume, intensity, and frequency, too fast 51-60 - Teamwork makes the dream work Work with an Active Life Coach like Nicole at activeliferx.com/shrugged Find Nicole at @nt_thecrossfitspt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/alr-torres ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.
