Tell us about yourself

When I was young, I was very small and skinny. When I was 13, my peers began to chide me due to my diminutive stature. No one really paid attention to me or respected me. In response, I began hitting the weights and never looked back. Although weightlifting helped, due to my sub-optimal genetics, I had to work twice as hard to get half the results of my peers. I still wasn't defining myself amongst others the way that I envisioned or in a way that correlated with my work ethic.

At 23, I commenced a moderate testosterone regimen. In a five-week span, I lost fat and put on 32 lbs of muscle mass, increasing my bench press by 100 lbs. Everyone around me began to show me deference and respect because of my new image. Everywhere I went, I was noticed and befriended. When I entered a bar or a club, the crowd would part in front of me, and if I accidentally bumped into someone, they would turn... and apologize to me. Every summer of my college years, I worked for a plumbing company. I loathed it and was terrible at my job, but one day my boss suddenly gave me a raise for no better reason than I stood before him looking stout.

I have lived two different lives in two different worlds. One before testosterone and one after. I vastly prefer living the enhanced and exalted existence after Testosterone Replacement Therapy.

After discovering testosterone, I read voraciously and tailored my degree to the study of hormones. I learned to help thousands upon thousands of others dramatically improve the quality of their lives in a similar manner to the way my life was improved. Every day, people email me or tell me that I have helped them be better husband/wife to their significant other, better parents to their children, and better supporters of their families. Helping people in this way makes me feel like I am a part of something bigger than myself, driving passion, motivation, and ambition.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment is building a streamlining a business model to help as many people as possible in the most meaningful way.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Owning a business is not like clocking in for eight hours a day, five days per week. The business is my baby that needs nurturing to grow. I feel a personal responsibility to every client and to the business. When you are a part of something bigger than yourself when thousands depend on you to help them, the work doesn't stop at the end of the day; the work never ends.... but it is that passion that drives you forward.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Leverage your assets to help the most amount of people in the most meaningful way.
  2. Passion is imperative.
  3. When you discover how to help people with your passion, it does not feel like work. This is important because you will always be thinking, working, and operating to benefit your passion.
