so much for having me here. You have an amazing platform,

26
00:01:42,185 --> 00:01:45,565
giving a chance to to share my story. Thank you so much.

27
00:01:45,865 --> 00:01:49,690
So my my story start, I'm originally from Iran. I was

28
00:01:49,690 --> 00:01:53,530
born in 1980, and right after I was born, Iran went

29
00:01:53,530 --> 00:01:56,990
to war with Iraq. My growing up through the war,

30
00:01:57,850 --> 00:02:01,530
seeing hundreds of dead body coming back from war, and we were in western part

31
00:02:01,530 --> 00:02:05,315
of Iran, as well where all the kind of a mess, people

32
00:02:05,315 --> 00:02:09,074
running away, sleeping on the street. Myself, I was the oldest

33
00:02:09,074 --> 00:02:12,915
kid standing in line to get bread, fuel, to

34
00:02:12,915 --> 00:02:16,115
heat up our houses. It was just the chaos at the time, and my dad

35
00:02:16,115 --> 00:02:19,620
was sent to war. There was no escape

36
00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:23,300
from a pain at the time. And we were part of a

37
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:26,840
religious minority too, so the government was announcing us as infidel,

38
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:30,615
and so they were not giving us jobs in Iran. So it was a very,

39
00:02:30,615 --> 00:02:34,455
very tough situation. We're moving from one city to another at a time

40
00:02:34,455 --> 00:02:38,055
because my dad had to make money. It was 4 kids. He had 4

41
00:02:38,055 --> 00:02:41,815
kids. I was around 12 years old. I was playing soccer in the

42
00:02:41,815 --> 00:02:45,510
dirt one day, and one of my friends showed me

43
00:02:45,510 --> 00:02:49,190
Arnold's picture. At the time, bodybuilding was illegal in Iran because it

44
00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:52,810
was American sport, and it was a they considered American propaganda.

45
00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:56,710
Anything that was American like boxing, cheer, anything that was American was

46
00:02:56,710 --> 00:03:00,405
banned. So I was I saw Arnold's picture. I was

47
00:03:00,405 --> 00:03:03,944
so fascinated. He was at Venice Beach looking larger than life.

48
00:03:04,564 --> 00:03:08,185
Everything that he represented us, I wanted to be. He represented

49
00:03:08,325 --> 00:03:11,765
it. He wasn't hungry. He was just happy, large in life. He was

50
00:03:11,765 --> 00:03:15,569
deterrent. I was a skinny kid at the time getting bullied at school, so

51
00:03:15,569 --> 00:03:19,330
he was a perfect guy, and I wanted to be him. So I stopped going

52
00:03:19,330 --> 00:03:22,870
to black markets, looking at bodybuilding picture. I got

53
00:03:23,170 --> 00:03:26,470
really fascinated by it. At the time, myself, I was doing taekwondo.

54
00:03:27,045 --> 00:03:30,805
So I started going back to a wrestling gym, couple of bar and the

55
00:03:30,805 --> 00:03:34,564
dumbbells. I started lifting weight. I wasn't gaining much muscle or

56
00:03:34,564 --> 00:03:38,405
anything because we're not eating enough. But I was just

57
00:03:38,405 --> 00:03:41,880
dreaming about it. Just looking at these pictures and staring at them all day long,

58
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,560
reading whatever I could, a lot of misinformation at the time because,

59
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,400
our language wasn't English. So we didn't know what we're doing. We just trained all

60
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,760
my the the whole muscle from our neck all the way down to our

61
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,605
toes every day. Then I was around 18 years old.

62
00:03:56,605 --> 00:04:00,045
I was I went to university. At the time, they were not letting us to

63
00:04:00,045 --> 00:04:03,565
go to university. Anybody that wasn't a Shia Muslim was not allowed to go to

64
00:04:03,565 --> 00:04:07,165
it. So I kind of check market that. I lied, and I

65
00:04:07,165 --> 00:04:10,920
was one of the 65 kids that in in the whole country got into

66
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,700
art school. So I went to university, but unfortunately, even at university,

67
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,360
there was the gap of this not having money was

68
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,065
causing a lot of issues. I was just and I was around 18 years old.

69
00:04:22,225 --> 00:04:25,985
One day, in the backyard, we're shooting with the air gun. I noticed my right

70
00:04:25,985 --> 00:04:28,785
eye. I can't see good from it. And,

71
00:04:30,225 --> 00:04:33,505
my uncle said, hey. You know, take him to doctor. I went to doctor, and

72
00:04:33,505 --> 00:04:37,310
they, told me that I have a cancer in my right eye. Oh my god.

73
00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:41,070
And in Iran, it was not treatable. They sent me to capital city. Everywhere, they

74
00:04:41,070 --> 00:04:44,110
said this is not treatable in Iran, and it will leak to your liver, and

75
00:04:44,110 --> 00:04:47,870
it does it's over. So anywhere I go,

76
00:04:47,870 --> 00:04:51,470
my mom, to my grandma, anybody anywhere I go, people are thinking I'm dying. They're

77
00:04:51,470 --> 00:04:54,815
crying for me. You know, it's it's just always walking around thinking, man, this can't

78
00:04:54,815 --> 00:04:58,655
be it. And this bodybuilding light of bodybuilding was this this delusion

79
00:04:58,655 --> 00:05:01,715
in my head was keeping me, you know, keep going pushing forward.

80
00:05:02,575 --> 00:05:05,695
My dad gave me a $100, and I left Iran. I said, you know what?

81
00:05:05,695 --> 00:05:08,930
I'm gonna go fix this. I left in Iran, end up in a ref in

82
00:05:08,930 --> 00:05:12,690
a refugee camp in England. It was crazy people running

83
00:05:12,690 --> 00:05:16,370
away from the the country. It it was it was a madhouse of

84
00:05:16,370 --> 00:05:19,430
of of was able to find a

85
00:05:20,370 --> 00:05:24,075
job in a pizza shop. I was just sleeping in a pizza

86
00:05:24,075 --> 00:05:27,835
shop, and at night during the day, I was just doing passing a flyer.

87
00:05:27,835 --> 00:05:30,875
And in the afternoon, I was helping him out with the pizza and stuff like

88
00:05:30,875 --> 00:05:34,235
that. I was just under the oven and just flipping pages and dreaming about

89
00:05:34,235 --> 00:05:37,970
bodybuilding. And I found a gym called Temple Gym owned by Dorian

90
00:05:37,970 --> 00:05:41,490
Yates. So I started training at Dorian Yates Gym. I trained hard. I studied

91
00:05:41,490 --> 00:05:45,090
more. My English, I was just reading a lot of magazines and stuff like that.

92
00:05:45,090 --> 00:05:48,875
So my English was getting better as well. And at the gym was the kind

93
00:05:48,875 --> 00:05:52,655
of the escape for for myself because in England at the time,

94
00:05:53,275 --> 00:05:57,035
it was really rough. People hated, you know, refugees, immigrant coming over there.

95
00:05:57,035 --> 00:06:00,840
They were thinking that, you know, refugees changing their culture. There

96
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:04,360
was a lot of backaches on the street, on TV every single day. It

97
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,200
was send these guys back. It was just fear and fear, constant

98
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,640
fear because back home, they were discriminating against us

99
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,320
again for religion. And here, I was stuck with this. I was like, man, I

100
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,065
can't get it. Run away from this pain. And after a

101
00:06:19,065 --> 00:06:22,825
few years of not getting anywhere, I said to myself, I gotta chase

102
00:06:22,825 --> 00:06:26,345
my dream before this cancer kills me. So I bought a fake

103
00:06:26,345 --> 00:06:30,120
passport, and I said, I'm gonna go to America and be Arnold. So I bought

104
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,960
the fake passport. I got a ticket, and that's all

105
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,560
I had in my name. I that's it. I I jumped in a

106
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,320
plane. As soon as the plane landed in Chicago, O'Hare, police

107
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,845
came into the, police came inside the plane and said,

108
00:06:44,845 --> 00:06:48,685
everyone remain seated. You, big guy, stand up. So I stood

109
00:06:48,685 --> 00:06:52,445
up. They put handcuff on me and, took me

110
00:06:52,445 --> 00:06:55,805
to prison. And then after that, they transferred me to

111
00:06:55,805 --> 00:06:58,980
maximum security prison because I was big. I could speak a bit of English. They

112
00:06:58,980 --> 00:07:02,820
thought I might be a militant from Iran. So I spent my 1st

113
00:07:02,820 --> 00:07:06,580
year in maximum security prison, constantly moving from one prison

114
00:07:06,580 --> 00:07:10,195
to another, you know, handcuffed, blindfolded, just you

115
00:07:10,195 --> 00:07:13,735
name it, interview every single day. You know, CIA, FBI agencies

116
00:07:14,035 --> 00:07:17,555
are coming and interviewing me to see if I'm not I'm not up to something

117
00:07:17,555 --> 00:07:21,315
bad. After almost a year, I go to the judge, and

118
00:07:21,315 --> 00:07:24,595
he grants me asylum. It you know, they shake my hand and say, you know

119
00:07:24,595 --> 00:07:28,370
what? We I was to be honest, I wasn't mad at all because I

120
00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:31,509
broke the law. And, I was there.

121
00:07:32,289 --> 00:07:34,930
You know, they just have to make sure I'm I'm good. So after that, they

122
00:07:34,930 --> 00:07:38,530
gave me the refugee status. I was I came out of prison homeless. I

123
00:07:38,530 --> 00:07:42,085
was on the street of Chicago. I called one of the cellmates

124
00:07:42,305 --> 00:07:45,425
in prison. I said, hey, man. I'm outside in the street. So he took me

125
00:07:45,425 --> 00:07:49,265
home. He had a basement in Chicago. He throw a couple, he throw a

126
00:07:49,265 --> 00:07:52,145
mattress over there. He said, hey. Stay here till you figure it out. I stayed

127
00:07:52,145 --> 00:07:55,990
there for a couple months. I was going to library every day printing out papers

128
00:07:55,990 --> 00:07:59,050
to see what what should I do, how the system work in America.

129
00:08:00,070 --> 00:08:03,830
So the then after I say, you know what? Chicago is cold. The first snow,

130
00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:07,670
I jumped on a train, $135 I had. He was taking me to clean

131
00:08:07,670 --> 00:08:10,645
houses with him sometimes. So I it's gonna say $135.

132
00:08:11,505 --> 00:08:15,185
I jumped on a train, took me 2, 3 days to get to California. I

133
00:08:15,185 --> 00:08:18,785
I got here. Again, same thing walking the street. I found

134
00:08:18,785 --> 00:08:22,630
that, being homeless, and then I found the security job. I

135
00:08:22,630 --> 00:08:26,390
was working as a security guard. But now that I'm in

136
00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:30,230
America, I'm training hard. I'll go to Gold's Gym North Hollywood, and I

137
00:08:30,230 --> 00:08:33,910
train hard. I started getting ready for competition. Cold

138
00:08:33,910 --> 00:08:37,475
Cold Street? Cold? No. Gold Gold's Gym on,

139
00:08:38,035 --> 00:08:41,875
Lowery Canyon in North Hollywood. Yeah. Sure. Sure. Lowery Canyon. Yeah. It's old school

140
00:08:41,875 --> 00:08:45,555
bodybuilding gym. And I start training, and, there was

141
00:08:45,555 --> 00:08:49,315
a there was a, a gentleman named Peter along with

142
00:08:49,395 --> 00:08:53,140
he trained FlexReliev, PaulDeliv, all these big time bodybuilders. So

143
00:08:53,140 --> 00:08:55,880
I became friend with him, and I asked him that he can you help me?

144
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:59,720
He started training for free. He taught me everything how to train.

145
00:09:00,260 --> 00:09:04,085
So I start working with nutritionist. It's just, I was working as a security

146
00:09:04,085 --> 00:09:07,845
guard all day long and whatever I could save, I was just eating

147
00:09:07,845 --> 00:09:11,365
whole chicken from from, Ralph, just buying it, a couple of

148
00:09:11,365 --> 00:09:15,205
chicken a day. So I I competed. I start

149
00:09:15,205 --> 00:09:18,580
competing. And now it's been almost 12 years that I haven't seen my

150
00:09:18,580 --> 00:09:22,260
family. I got my refugee passport, so I decided to go back to

151
00:09:22,420 --> 00:09:25,880
and I couldn't go back to Iran, so I went to Turkey to see them.

152
00:09:26,260 --> 00:09:30,100
My my brother comes, my sister comes, they have kids, they're all grown up. I

153
00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:33,714
was just I'm I'm broke, like a loser. Just like I

154
00:09:33,714 --> 00:09:37,154
have a dream of being a body builder. That's all I have. On the way

155
00:09:37,154 --> 00:09:40,514
back, I was just praying, and I I got to America and I noticed they

156
00:09:40,514 --> 00:09:43,954
fired me from my security job. So once it and I

157
00:09:43,954 --> 00:09:47,690
said, I wasn't catching a break. I was like, man, I gotta do something.

158
00:09:48,149 --> 00:09:51,269
So it was a couple of months I was keep looking for security job, but

159
00:09:51,269 --> 00:09:55,110
I couldn't find any security job because there was a lot of soldiers

160
00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:58,470
coming back. They were asking for the same job, and they were a lot more

161
00:09:58,470 --> 00:10:02,035
qualified than I was. So they were getting the job for minimum wage.

162
00:10:03,055 --> 00:10:06,895
So I after 2, 3 months, the unemployment office gave me a

163
00:10:06,895 --> 00:10:10,255
$3,000 money, payback. And

164
00:10:10,255 --> 00:10:13,775
the the the the for the last 2, 3 months that I

165
00:10:13,775 --> 00:10:17,340
didn't work, I had this $3,000 in my hand, and I said, god, this is

166
00:10:17,340 --> 00:10:21,100
only that's all I have. I've gotta do something with it. So

167
00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:24,940
I I saw this empty place, in Culver

168
00:10:24,940 --> 00:10:28,620
City at $1900. So I I said to myself, I I can

169
00:10:28,620 --> 00:10:31,895
probably turn this to a gym. I went and I shook the guy's hand. I

170
00:10:31,895 --> 00:10:35,655
gave him the $1900. I had a bar and a dumbbells, but

171
00:10:35,655 --> 00:10:39,175
because of the way I've trained myself, I knew how to train people. So I

172
00:10:39,175 --> 00:10:42,775
just put a banner of the, hey, lose up to £15 a

173
00:10:42,775 --> 00:10:45,850
month. People would walk in. They would come and say, where's the gym? I said,

174
00:10:45,850 --> 00:10:49,690
then here's the gym. There's nothing in here. There's absolutely no mats. Nothing. There's a

175
00:10:49,690 --> 00:10:52,810
bar in a couple of plates. And I said, hey. Just pay me for a

176
00:10:52,810 --> 00:10:56,265
month, and I'll I'll I'll train you to see how you feel. So I was

177
00:10:56,265 --> 00:10:59,625
training and I was killing them. And because I didn't have much of equipment and

178
00:10:59,625 --> 00:11:03,464
and anything, so I made my session 30 minutes. I made it because I had

179
00:11:03,464 --> 00:11:07,145
to be now I had to tax their muscle within 30 minutes. So I

180
00:11:07,145 --> 00:11:10,970
was training them hard, and everybody was surprised, and they were going telling their

181
00:11:10,970 --> 00:11:14,410
friends to start preparing their friend. People are coming, and I was so

182
00:11:14,410 --> 00:11:17,690
passionate about it at the time. It was for me at the time, it was

183
00:11:17,690 --> 00:11:21,130
all about training these people, not going back to my security

184
00:11:21,130 --> 00:11:24,774
job and just being a body builder. My main reason for the gym

185
00:11:24,774 --> 00:11:28,375
was to be able to train hard to be a mister Olympian myself, like,

186
00:11:28,375 --> 00:11:32,135
during the age the way he did it, being in the dungeon. But

187
00:11:32,135 --> 00:11:35,670
along the way, people were stuck praising me so much. I was finding

188
00:11:35,670 --> 00:11:39,350
friends, me being homeless, not having anybody. Now it's all these American

189
00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:43,130
people around me. They're showering me with love, support, everybody.

190
00:11:43,350 --> 00:11:47,030
Also, these poor city people who can afford it, the personal training. They were

191
00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:50,730
all managers, bosses, marketing people. They were all giving me tips and advice.

192
00:11:51,635 --> 00:11:54,615
One day, a client I signed up a client. He lost £50.

193
00:11:55,395 --> 00:11:58,835
His name is Daniel Rosen. He has a big, very successful

194
00:11:58,835 --> 00:12:02,195
company, and he started giving me business advice. So he told me,

195
00:12:02,195 --> 00:12:05,820
Sebastian, you're sitting on something really good. You can turn this to a

196
00:12:05,820 --> 00:12:09,180
really good successful business. So he started giving me tips, and I will start applying

197
00:12:09,180 --> 00:12:12,720
it. I started applying at the gym. It started growing and growing.

198
00:12:13,580 --> 00:12:17,420
And then in 2020, I I started building a good following

199
00:12:17,420 --> 00:12:20,915
in Culver City in 2020 when the COVID shut us down,

200
00:12:20,915 --> 00:12:24,435
especially in California. It was very strict. And I have a gas

201
00:12:24,435 --> 00:12:28,195
station, 800 for gas station turned into a chip. So I

202
00:12:28,195 --> 00:12:31,940
turned outside in a parking lot. A mayor, I mean, the,

203
00:12:32,180 --> 00:12:36,019
sorry. The, the government announced that, hey. You can only train outside. I

204
00:12:36,019 --> 00:12:39,139
sat in the gym. I said, man, if I go home, that's it. This is

205
00:12:39,139 --> 00:12:42,339
it. It's over for me. So I sat there and I said, I gotta figure

206
00:12:42,339 --> 00:12:45,985
something out. I'll put a couple of benches outside in the parking parking

207
00:12:45,985 --> 00:12:49,825
lot and then with a barber and dumble going back to the 1st days

208
00:12:49,825 --> 00:12:53,045
of me opening a gym. I start training people

209
00:12:53,505 --> 00:12:57,265
through the COVID and doubled my business because now everybody else will shut down.

210
00:12:57,265 --> 00:13:01,089
People start I don't have a marketing budget that huge budget. So now people

211
00:13:01,089 --> 00:13:04,769
start seeing me, especially moving outside training them. And through

212
00:13:04,769 --> 00:13:08,470
that time, I'll start writing a Daniel told me, hey.

213
00:13:08,610 --> 00:13:11,490
While the gym is not that busy at the beginning of the COVID, this 3

214
00:13:11,490 --> 00:13:15,335
month shutdown, I start writing my life story of how, where I come

215
00:13:15,335 --> 00:13:19,095
from, how I build this. So this

216
00:13:19,095 --> 00:13:22,295
last few years, I was, I've been able to build a team to build a

217
00:13:22,295 --> 00:13:26,055
very, very success, successful gym. It's like, I'm living a

218
00:13:26,055 --> 00:13:29,520
dream. I bought a house in Marina del Ray. You know, I have my most

219
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,120
cars. You know, I I have it everything beyond what I

220
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,660
dreamed. It's been it's been a amazing

221
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,400
ride. And along the way, the big the best part of it, I would say,

222
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,115
the people that I've met and that these beautiful people that always wanted to

223
00:13:44,115 --> 00:13:47,875
help me, support me. You repeat yourself being here, giving me

224
00:13:47,875 --> 00:13:51,714
the platform. I consider it as a huge help as well. So it's

225
00:13:51,714 --> 00:13:53,975
it's been an amazing, amazing ride ride.

226
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,920
This is Pete Moore. I wanna let you in on a little secret. There's this

227
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,220
company called Promotion Vault, and what they do is they give out rewards

228
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,200
from retailers that allow you to incentivize your

229
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,720
members without having to do 0 down and 1 month

230
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,555
free or giving away shakes or giving away t shirts. What

231
00:14:15,555 --> 00:14:19,235
you wanna do is build a rewards program that lasts, that

232
00:14:19,235 --> 00:14:22,935
people value, and it doesn't discount your own products and services.

233
00:14:23,235 --> 00:14:26,759
So here's the deal. There's something called rewards vault. The rewards

234
00:14:26,899 --> 00:14:30,600
vault is going to allow a member to set up their own profile.

235
00:14:30,899 --> 00:14:34,740
They are going to answer questions. You are gonna get those answers. You're gonna be

236
00:14:34,740 --> 00:14:38,420
able to target those members, and you're gonna reward them inside your

237
00:14:38,420 --> 00:14:42,245
club, inside your spa, and outside of the club, and outside

238
00:14:42,245 --> 00:14:46,084
of the spa to get them to become loyal, to get them to pay

239
00:14:46,084 --> 00:14:49,925
their monthly dues, and to be rewarded properly for

240
00:14:49,925 --> 00:14:53,370
the actions. A lot of companies are cutting back on rewards. You shouldn't

241
00:14:53,370 --> 00:14:56,990
be. Promotion Vault's your answer. Trust me. This is real.

242
00:15:00,650 --> 00:15:04,330
Yo, a a couple of questions for you. Yes, sir. And and to kinda go

243
00:15:04,330 --> 00:15:07,855
all the way back, my generation is the only

244
00:15:07,855 --> 00:15:11,695
generation that has not had to go to war. You know, it hasn't gotten

245
00:15:11,695 --> 00:15:15,295
drafted. It hasn't been in either the National Guard or in, you know,

246
00:15:15,295 --> 00:15:19,135
into the army. You know, I was born in 72, so it's kinda you know,

247
00:15:19,135 --> 00:15:21,055
I didn't have to go to Vietnam. I didn't have to go to Korea. I

248
00:15:21,055 --> 00:15:24,630
didn't have to go to World War 2. And, like, I hear stories from, like,

249
00:15:24,630 --> 00:15:28,230
my grandfather back in the day of what you know, being on a ship and

250
00:15:28,230 --> 00:15:31,990
kinda not go knowing where he's going, and not knowing how

251
00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:35,830
many people are coming back. You know, as you kind of grew up in

252
00:15:35,830 --> 00:15:39,195
that, like, war torn, you know, your dad goes away and there's no

253
00:15:39,195 --> 00:15:42,795
food, you know, do has it kinda changed your your frame of

254
00:15:42,795 --> 00:15:46,555
reference on, like, I got a work situation that, you know, I gotta

255
00:15:46,555 --> 00:15:49,760
figure out how to fix, and you kinda, like, harken back to say, well, is

256
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,800
it gonna be any worse than what I have gone through, like, in my life?

257
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,940
Did does it kinda set your ability to

258
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,400
kinda say, throw the throw the hardest challenge at me? Like, I'm gonna figure it

259
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,134
out. I've I I at the time, I didn't to be

260
00:16:04,134 --> 00:16:07,574
honest, I wasn't as conscious as now that I see it. But along the

261
00:16:07,574 --> 00:16:11,254
way, nothing nothing that nothing was I felt like

262
00:16:11,254 --> 00:16:14,935
nothing could stop me because I had Right. When it was war, I mean, one

263
00:16:14,935 --> 00:16:18,680
of the incident is, is, like, I saw, the Iran, in

264
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,520
public execution. I was 8 years old. I saw this public execution, 19 years

265
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,200
old. They pulled them up, and these guys were kicking on a rope for 2

266
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,720
weeks. Like, as a kid, 2 weeks, I did not have any feeling. I wasn't

267
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,565
and it was constant. I was I was waiting for death. I was wait

268
00:16:33,725 --> 00:16:37,405
and I think later on, they told me that this

269
00:16:37,405 --> 00:16:41,085
cancer probably appeared because you're wishing death on yourself, you know, constantly, you know,

270
00:16:41,085 --> 00:16:44,925
dishing yeah. It's just you you you look at

271
00:16:44,925 --> 00:16:48,550
kind of, yeah, I think it's it kills a certain

272
00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:52,310
feeling inside you, so you don't feel as much. That's that's the way I

273
00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:55,510
wanna put it. You know? I can't say I'm conscious about it. It's just I

274
00:16:55,510 --> 00:16:59,355
feel like it killed certain feelings so I could push through pain. Like,

275
00:16:59,355 --> 00:17:02,955
I'm I'm sitting in a a prison and a and, like, actually, I'm

276
00:17:02,955 --> 00:17:06,234
staring at the wall for days days, and they I'm not seeing a sky. I'm

277
00:17:06,234 --> 00:17:10,075
not seeing anything. So you go you go crazy, but if you wanna

278
00:17:10,075 --> 00:17:13,515
feel it but if you wanna feel it, if you wanna go with feeling forward,

279
00:17:13,515 --> 00:17:17,269
it's it's really brutal. It will be very brutal. So I feel like that

280
00:17:17,269 --> 00:17:20,950
kind of killed certain aspect of me. Yeah.

281
00:17:21,109 --> 00:17:24,069
That's why I was able to push, and I think that's part of being an

282
00:17:24,069 --> 00:17:27,669
entrepreneur. I think the traumas Yeah. Exactly. It's almost like you got, like, a

283
00:17:27,669 --> 00:17:31,425
business school degree, unfortunately, in, like, the worst type of circumstances in order to, like,

284
00:17:31,425 --> 00:17:35,105
prepare you for starting a business, which probably felt felt like, hey. This

285
00:17:35,105 --> 00:17:38,305
is this is as hard as it's gonna get. Like, it's not as hard as

286
00:17:38,305 --> 00:17:41,685
it was, you know, psychologically and physically or emotionally before.

287
00:17:41,950 --> 00:17:44,510
One one thing I wanna ask you is I was writing down some notes, and

288
00:17:44,510 --> 00:17:48,270
you're talking about, like, working in a pizza place. I wanna ask you a

289
00:17:48,270 --> 00:17:52,110
question, and I'll tell you a quick story. When I was back in, 2000

290
00:17:52,110 --> 00:17:55,785
to 2003, I started up a software company in Arizona. Mhmm.

291
00:17:56,165 --> 00:17:59,865
And I graduated business school, so it was like, I never really failed before.

292
00:18:00,085 --> 00:18:03,525
And the Internet crashed, and then September 11th happened. Mhmm.

293
00:18:03,525 --> 00:18:07,145
And I'm like, I can't let this company fail. So

294
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:10,900
any way I could keep it going, you know, whether it's borrow money and then

295
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:14,660
pay it back, whether it was, withholding people's paychecks for, like, a

296
00:18:14,660 --> 00:18:17,940
couple days to see if something came in in the mail. And then we did

297
00:18:17,940 --> 00:18:21,775
this deal with the the the chief marketing officer at Balance Bar. They

298
00:18:21,775 --> 00:18:25,375
wanted to, distribute these, caramel nut blast. It was, like, their new

299
00:18:25,375 --> 00:18:28,415
bar. So we cut a deal with them. We had, like, a 1,000 locations. We're

300
00:18:28,415 --> 00:18:32,015
like, hey. We could drop ship, like, 500 Balance Bars as, like, little

301
00:18:32,015 --> 00:18:35,120
samples to each one of the clubs. And I was like, they paid us, like,

302
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:38,240
$10 or something. And something in the back of my head said, look. I don't

303
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,720
know if I'm gonna be able to eat over the next couple months because we

304
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,080
didn't have any money. So I basically put down as one of the health clubs

305
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,884
that were in our network was the office address of my software company. And I

306
00:18:47,884 --> 00:18:51,725
literally kept 500 caramel nut blast bars, like, in my drawer, and I would

307
00:18:51,725 --> 00:18:55,504
basically eat that with diet Coke for, like, a month. So

308
00:18:55,565 --> 00:18:58,784
looking back, like, I can't eat a caramel nut

309
00:18:59,164 --> 00:19:02,899
blast balance bar again because it brings me back to that time

310
00:19:02,899 --> 00:19:06,440
of, like, rationing. So my question for you is, like,

311
00:19:06,580 --> 00:19:10,360
do you love pizza right now, or, like, you can't even eat it? No.

312
00:19:10,580 --> 00:19:14,260
No. No. I don't I don't have any feeling toward it. Just, it it doesn't

313
00:19:14,260 --> 00:19:17,835
remind me of those days, but, I don't I don't eat pizza and stuff like

314
00:19:17,835 --> 00:19:20,715
that. But Okay. Okay. Well, it's not for health reasons. It's not for, like, look,

315
00:19:20,715 --> 00:19:23,615
I don't wanna, like, remember, like, this time. Yeah. Once

316
00:19:25,355 --> 00:19:29,129
in a while. But, I would say to the audience, you know, even when I

317
00:19:29,129 --> 00:19:31,850
was doing the pizza, you know, I was sleeping in a pizza shop and all

318
00:19:31,850 --> 00:19:35,149
that stuff, I was still very conscious. I was constantly learning. I

319
00:19:35,690 --> 00:19:39,129
I, I think one of the, thing that I was

320
00:19:39,129 --> 00:19:42,855
always looking around, how can I learn from these guys, the culture,

321
00:19:42,855 --> 00:19:46,054
you know, even the name of the pizza shop was GoGo, Pizza GoGo? I remember

322
00:19:46,054 --> 00:19:49,575
one time, the owner was saying, oh, the name is so catchy. The name should

323
00:19:49,575 --> 00:19:52,695
be 4 words. So it's a hook. So that's how I came up with 6

324
00:19:52,695 --> 00:19:56,080
pack gym as well, the name, because it was such a like, rhyming, like

325
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,040
intonation, like, 6 pack gym. Yeah. I I I

326
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,040
pizza. Yeah. Because I I kind of I'm very

327
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,720
fascinated with the culture. Like, when I when I when I'm in America, for example,

328
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,145
figured out the system. I was constantly watching them to see what kind of behavior

329
00:20:10,145 --> 00:20:13,985
get rewarded here. You know, the people will risk here. You know, they get rewarded.

330
00:20:13,985 --> 00:20:17,424
So it's just like certainly, so I I try to learn as much as I

331
00:20:17,424 --> 00:20:20,705
can. It doesn't matter what situation that is. I would try to say, hey. Okay.

332
00:20:20,705 --> 00:20:24,179
There is something here that I need to learn to go to the next level.

333
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,279
Yeah. When you when you look at, like, Planet Fitness and you know that they

334
00:20:27,279 --> 00:20:30,400
have Tootsie Rolls at the front desk and they give pizza every Friday, you're like,

335
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,460
look, man. Like, I'm telling you, this isn't like the road to results.

336
00:20:34,405 --> 00:20:38,165
Yeah. It's just they're they're pretty smart. They actually figure out who their avatar

337
00:20:38,165 --> 00:20:41,684
is, and they're talking to them. So I was just kind of and I

338
00:20:41,925 --> 00:20:45,605
at the beginning, I was very I was pretty much very against against

339
00:20:45,605 --> 00:20:49,149
all these gems, the their approach. But then later on, when I've gotten

340
00:20:49,149 --> 00:20:52,909
involved in business a lot more, I realized each gym serve a certain

341
00:20:52,909 --> 00:20:56,510
avatar. So all of us, we are basically serving

342
00:20:56,510 --> 00:21:00,110
this huge community. And as long as they come into the gym, it's all

343
00:21:00,110 --> 00:21:03,865
good. However you wanna get them, if people don't like my approach, if they go

344
00:21:03,865 --> 00:21:07,385
to Planet Fitness, all good as long as they're training. And, my

345
00:21:07,385 --> 00:21:11,065
approach and my avatar is completely different people, so I go after busy

346
00:21:11,065 --> 00:21:14,904
professional who don't have time, which that 30 minutes I I told you guys not

347
00:21:14,904 --> 00:21:18,300
having equipment has been a blessing for me because it's a great pitch

348
00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:21,820
now, that I use. Sure. Sure. I mean, everything's gone towards, like,

349
00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:24,940
functional training and Yeah. You know, what you need and what you don't need. And,

350
00:21:25,340 --> 00:21:27,740
you know, I see some of the build out cost of some of these clubs.

351
00:21:27,740 --> 00:21:31,325
I'm like, gee. Like, I don't know when you're ever gonna get that that return

352
00:21:31,325 --> 00:21:34,525
back. You know, as you take a look at at, you know, where where you

353
00:21:34,525 --> 00:21:38,365
were to where you are now and, you know, you

354
00:21:38,365 --> 00:21:42,125
got one location, and and it seems to be doing extremely well, do you

355
00:21:42,125 --> 00:21:45,120
have an urge to open up a second location, to open up a 10th, you

356
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:48,160
know, a 10th location? Did you say, you know what? Like, I'm helping a lot

357
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,840
of people. I got to where I wanna be. The reason why I'm asking this

358
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,080
is, you know, a lot of people come up to me even at this trade

359
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,799
show just to have, like, hey. I wanna raise money. I wanna, you know, bring

360
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:00,375
in a a capital partner. It's like, careful careful what you wish for.

361
00:22:00,375 --> 00:22:04,075
Mhmm. Because you basically been an entrepreneur for x number of years,

362
00:22:04,215 --> 00:22:08,054
and now you're basically coming in and you're marrying, you know, a a equity

363
00:22:08,054 --> 00:22:11,815
firm or you're marrying, you know, a a, you know, an investor,

364
00:22:11,815 --> 00:22:15,570
and you really don't know what their, you know, mannerisms are. You don't know

365
00:22:15,570 --> 00:22:18,730
how they're gonna view the business. You don't know, you know, if they're gonna be

366
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:22,530
a good partner or a bad partner. Do do you have a view on

367
00:22:22,530 --> 00:22:26,290
that to say Yes. You know, like, success is not something that

368
00:22:26,290 --> 00:22:29,510
that you decide. It's what I decide for myself.

369
00:22:30,185 --> 00:22:33,805
Yes. I've, actually, I have a very clear vision of where I wanna go.

370
00:22:33,945 --> 00:22:37,465
I believe, for most people that they wanna get into a gym business, which is

371
00:22:37,465 --> 00:22:40,345
a dream of everyone that goes to the gym to have their own gym, a

372
00:22:40,345 --> 00:22:43,920
lot of people. It needs a lot of capital, a lot of setup.

373
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,760
So my my my system is just basically me looking at

374
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,520
myself 12, 13 years ago when I started a gym. So I want

375
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,360
to teach people to start little gyms like mine, 6 pack

376
00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:58,800
gym in the garage. In the garage, it can be a little avail a small

377
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,255
location and a start with minimal equipment. So now I have built

378
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:05,775
courses for them to certify them, and I've built

379
00:23:05,775 --> 00:23:09,535
courses on operation, how to run a business for them. So they with

380
00:23:09,535 --> 00:23:13,215
a very small the main main thing for me, the the low barrier to

381
00:23:13,215 --> 00:23:17,040
get into the business. And those people, they don't wanna grow

382
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,880
it, probably to to make it as stressful, as

383
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,480
many gym owners that go to, through the but having a

384
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,320
little place, serving a little community, changing lives, and just having a

385
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,075
very, streamlined operation that they don't

386
00:23:32,075 --> 00:23:35,835
have to beat around the bushes figuring things out. So that's my vision. I'm

387
00:23:35,835 --> 00:23:38,655
hoping to have a 6 pack gym all

388
00:23:39,195 --> 00:23:43,020
over. And with the, my fee right now, what I'm what I'm being what I'm

389
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:46,780
trying to charge, we pay $6,000 a year to start their own 6

390
00:23:46,780 --> 00:23:50,620
packs gym, and pretty much I I teach them everything. And the the whole

391
00:23:50,780 --> 00:23:54,240
my value ladder start with my book, a small gym, big result,

392
00:23:54,460 --> 00:23:57,995
which is people reading it, understanding what I'm doing, how

393
00:23:57,995 --> 00:24:01,435
successful 6 pack gym it is, and showing to them how

394
00:24:01,435 --> 00:24:05,115
practical this is to apply. So I'm building that new

395
00:24:05,115 --> 00:24:08,795
business right now. I'm building, most of my time going going toward

396
00:24:08,795 --> 00:24:12,570
that, building all these content. But, again, I'm in a in a

397
00:24:12,570 --> 00:24:16,090
search on how my approach should be, how should I go about it. I'm still,

398
00:24:16,490 --> 00:24:20,169
polishing it. This

399
00:24:20,169 --> 00:24:23,630

417
00:25:30,380 --> 00:25:34,059
So, you know, in closing here, one of the show notes of your book

418
00:25:34,059 --> 00:25:37,659
and the, information I'm gonna get into your club,

419
00:25:37,980 --> 00:25:41,659
in, in, Culver City or release the podcast. If

420
00:25:41,659 --> 00:25:45,445
there's one, you know, quote or if there's something that you

421
00:25:45,445 --> 00:25:49,125
say to yourself or if there's, you know, you know, a

422
00:25:49,125 --> 00:25:52,885
a a phrase that you wanna tell fellow, you know, trainers who

423
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:56,184
who wanna aspire to own their own business, you know, how would you kinda encapsulate

424
00:25:56,325 --> 00:26:00,059
that? Oh, I I would say everything

425
00:26:00,059 --> 00:26:03,100
that you're going through, the painful time of your life you're going through, at the

426
00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:06,379
time, it might be painful, but later on, it become your asset. My book is

427
00:26:06,379 --> 00:26:09,899
all about the the the bad stuff that I went through, all this the the

428
00:26:09,899 --> 00:26:13,205
knowledge that I'm sharing with a lot of people client coming in is from those

429
00:26:13,205 --> 00:26:17,045
bad time. And these bad time, whatever you're going through, it will be

430
00:26:17,045 --> 00:26:20,505
your asset. Just hang in there, push through, and

431
00:26:20,725 --> 00:26:24,565
the the thing is with business, you grow along the business. You cannot

432
00:26:24,565 --> 00:26:28,105
you cannot just grow the business without growing yourself. So

433
00:26:28,279 --> 00:26:30,940
it's it's an just take it as, hey,

434
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,720
having fun, not get too caught up in the the money and stuff like that.

435
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,100
To realize that you're growing and the business is growing, serving people.

436
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,815
So I would say those painful moments,

437
00:26:43,115 --> 00:26:46,795
well, they all become your assets at one point. That's great. Well, on

438
00:26:46,795 --> 00:26:50,635
behalf of the halo sector, I wanna thank you for, immigrating here. However way you

439
00:26:50,635 --> 00:26:53,640
got here, I really don't care. It was good that you're here. Sounds like a

440
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,180
little bit of what's treacherous road that I expected.

441
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,640
But, you know, thanks for what you're doing. You know, look forward to seeing you

442
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,400
out in California when I'm out there next. And, you know, take taking risk and

443
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,855
get returns is really what life's about. Right? So

444
00:27:09,075 --> 00:27:12,835
you're the, the epitome of that. So look forward to, to your future progress

445
00:27:12,835 --> 00:27:16,355
and, you know, stay in one location and help thousands of people. Instead of trying

446
00:27:16,355 --> 00:27:20,195
to be everything that to everybody, you know, maintain that

447
00:27:20,195 --> 00:27:24,000
local community and, to get people results. So thanks for being on

448
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,680
