    BUCKED UP THE #1 PRE-WORKOUT BRAND: 9 FIGURE EMPIRE IN 10 YEARS || RYAN GARDNER || EPISODE 084

    Ryan Gardner founded Bucked Up in 2016 and has been the managing partner and CEO ever since. Under his supervision, Bucked Up has gone from a local supplement brand to the #1 best-selling pre-workout, available in over 100,000 stores worldwide.   Back in 2001, Ryan and his twin brother Jeff built a successful internet marketing company, promoting everything from supplements to biz opp to lead generation. By 2010, their affiliate network (with only 3 other employees) was earning over $25M+ annually in revenue. In 2015, they saw that social media was the future and decided to start their own social media agency. After over a decade of promoting other people's products, Ryan and Jeff realized it was finally time to put their talents to work promoting their own.   Ryan purchased the domain name DeerAntlerSpray.com in 2013. Not long after, Ray Lewis made headline news when he was accused of taking the spray before the Super Bowl. Sales exploded overnight. Sure, he was in the "Right Time...Right Place," but without Ryan's smart, hard work, he would've missed out on all that success. Shortly after the Super Bowl, he managed to get Deer Antler Spray into GNC and sold thousands of bottles a week for the next two years. Ryan, with the help of a GNC franchise owner, came up with the idea to launch a pre-workout. Despite some skepticism from family, he purchased BUCKEDUP.com for $1500 and named the first pre-workout "Bucked Up." With a great logo, flavor profile, the right ingredients, and a non-proprietary blend, the company started making waves in the supplement industry and never looked back.   This episode Ryan talks about his journey and the start of Bucked Up how the business structure works, affiliates and partners and the vision for the next 10 years.

    WALK THE DISTANCE TO GREATNESS: STRENGTH, PURPOSE & TRANSFORMATION || DR JAMES E DIXON ||EPISODE 082

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. James E. Dixon, widely known as SupermanIs4Real, for a deeply moving and powerful conversation on resilience, faith, and purpose. After experiencing a life-altering tragedy that resulted in the loss of his leg, Dr. Dixon made a decision that would define the rest of his life—he refused to be defined by what he lost. Instead, he chose to step fully into his purpose. What many would see as a setback, he transformed into a calling. Recorded around his impactful message at the Little Lambs Fundraiser, Dr. Dixon shares how his journey as an amputee became a platform to inspire, serve, and uplift others. His story is not about limitation—it’s about identity, belief, and the power of perspective. He speaks on how physical loss does not cancel divine purpose, and how mindset can override circumstances. At the core of this conversation is a powerful belief: he never saw himself as broken—he saw himself as Superman. “You may not walk the same—but you still have somewhere to go.” We dive into the lessons that shaped him, the faith that carried him, and the responsibility he feels to impact others through his story. This episode will challenge you to rise above your circumstances, to serve with intention, and to move forward with conviction—no matter what you’re facing. If you’re looking for a reminder of what true strength, purpose, and transformation look like, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
