It's about what what started all that? 58 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: What you know, what started you into this this this 59 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: program of fitness? Well you know what. I started off 60 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: as an athlete. I was at tracking basketball athlete in 61 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: high school and college. I was a school record holder 62 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: at cow State Fullerton. I had a hundred or two 63 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: months before and the relay. So um, I've always been 64 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: an athlete, but I was a skinny, scrawny kid. So 65 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: I made fun of um. And so what motivated me 66 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: to get in the fitness and sculp my body and 67 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: build my body was was being made fun of and 68 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: then people saying you're scrawny, you're skinny or whatever. And 69 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: so once I was able to build my body, I 70 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: just had a huge motivation to desire to want to 71 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: help others. And what I try to teach people, it's 72 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: not about you trying to look like me. It's trying 73 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: to It's about you being the best version of yourself. 74 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: Because we all have our own DNA and the reality 75 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: is that there's some people will never have my abs 76 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: or my biceps in my back, but you can't be 77 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: the best version of yourself d N A Y. And 78 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: that's what I try to teach scope your best body, 79 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And that's really important. And 80 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: because of the fact that it's about motivation and about 81 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: looking in the mirror at you, and it's called you 82 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: can win not I ways tell if everybody has a 83 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: different story to success. And that's what you're telling me, Rashan. 84 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: You know, because we laughed about me saying stick in 85 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: my head on your body, rasha that's not your goal. 86 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: Your goal is to be the best you. And that's 87 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: the motivational factor that keeps everybody you know realized think 88 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: can reach it correct. A lot of times people will 89 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: quit because they're not able to they're not able to 90 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: look like a certain person that quit and they're improving 91 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,239 Speaker 1: and they're getting better, but because they're not getting the results, 92 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: is someone they see on Instagram, they just quit. And 93 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: it always I'm always it always bothers me because I'm 94 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: just like, look, you're you have. Everyone has a everyone 95 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: has a different DNA what God gave us, and some 96 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: of us are never going to look like a Lebron 97 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: change or play basketball like him, or have apps like 98 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: me or you know, it looked like Morris, you know. 99 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: But you can't be the best version of yourself. And 100 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: if you if you truly optimize your genetic potential, your 101 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: genetic potential, you wont you succeeded.

The 374 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: reason why I decided to do it because I was 375 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 1: disgusted with the supplement industry in general, uh, the fraud 376 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: and the fillers and the overloaded of stimulants. And I 377 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: stopped taking supplements a couple of years ago because I 378 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: couldn't trust the ingredients in the products. And I really 379 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: want to make the industry better. Um, And so I 380 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: decided to start this line with some business partners of mine, 381 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: and natural natural ingredient line that had no stimulants onceoever. 382 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: UM all the all of the ingredients are all natural, 383 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: gluten free, low sodium, low sugar, UM and everyone loves 384 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: the products.
