In today’s episode of the Man Within Podcast, I sit down with Adam Schafer, co-founder of the Mind Pump Podcast — one of the most popular fitness podcasts in the world — to unpack his wild journey from mowing lawns as a broke teenager to building a multimillion-dollar fitness empire.

If you know the Mind Pump Show, you know the impact Adam, Sal, Justin, and Doug have made in the health and wellness space. But in this conversation, you’ll hear the behind-the-scenes story — the risks, the failures, the shady business deals, the turning point with marijuana clubs, and how one simple podcast idea exploded into a global brand.

🎙️ Get ready, because we'll talk about:

Adam’s humble beginnings as a teenage entrepreneur

The raw truth about chasing money (and why it didn’t satisfy)

How the Mind Pump Media team formed and scaled their business

Business lessons that apply to any entrepreneur, creator, or dreamer

The real reason vulnerability and authenticity built their loyal audience

Whether you're a fan of Mind Pump Show, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone who's hit rock bottom and wants to rebuild — this is a must-listen.
