Manage episode 501357551 series 2045201
What you’re about to hear is something really special.
Funk Roberts recently interviewed me on The Over 40 Alpha Podcast for his Legacy Series where he’s honouring the original pioneers of online fitness.
In this interview, I tell the REAL story about how I went from Skinny Vinny to launching one of the first-ever digital muscle-building programs and how that single product built the foundation for an entire fitness empire.
We talk about:
- The identity crisis that secretly drove my early success
- How I scaled from $10K to $100K to millions…starting with just an ebook
- What made the 2006–2013 fitness boom so different from today
- The exact tweak I gave Funk that still fuels his 12,000-member program
- And how AI, branding, and community are reshaping the future of online coaching
Whether you’re an OG, or just starting out, there’s gold in here.
