Kettlebells and Preparing for Battle with Chad Price

Scott Mulvaney — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 16:00:00 +0000

Today We Discuss Helping Yourself, Preparing for Battle, Kettlebells, and more:

Chad is a seasoned serial entrepreneur with an impressive track record spanning over a decade. He founded Kettlebell Kings from scratch and orchestrated a remarkable 3 year multi-million dollar acquisition back in November of 2021. Today, it stands tall as a thriving international company, making waves in the esteemed Inc. 5000.

In 2019, Chad pivoted into another passion of his, natural lifestyle products. His new company, Life Grows Green, is uprooting negative stereotypes about hemp and creating new products by only using the elements found in nature. With his background as a student athlete, Chad’s passion for sports permeates every aspect of his work.

Chad’s approach to business is the same as his approach to sports. Athletic competition is good, but outside the sports arena, competition takes new heights. His latest project is an upcoming book titled “Preparing for Battle”.

Chad discusses a wide range of topics, from developing a winning mindset to creating a solid business plan, building a strong team, and navigating the challenges of scaling a modern-day business. “Preparing for Battle” is targeted at aspiring entrepreneurs and minority-owned business leaders who are looking for actionable advice and insights that they can apply in their own lives and businesses.

Timestamped Show Notes:

05:30 – So after I kind of, quote unquote, hung my cleats up, I was looking for a more kind of functional fitness workout routine for myself, and going to gyms and you know, 24 Hour Fitness, Lifetime Fitness, these things felt more like social scenes, and they felt like a place to workout at the time. So I really got into home fitness and just trying to find my own routine that I can rely on, I don’t always have the convenience of going to a location. Kettlebells were just one of those things I explored during that journey.

10:45 – I was telling someone earlier, I think one of the opportunities sports gives you is you get to play all of those battles out, kind of in a simulated way. Whether that’s practice or lifting or the actual games and championships, you kind of get different levels of intensity of battles, and you get to win and lose them. I think that hardens you and prepares you for leading a team through obstacles, especially the unseen ones, you start into entrepreneurship, you never know exactly what every problem is going to be. Out of the problems that come along, the will, perseverance, and grit to get through comes about. If you have the right mindset, you can make it through.

15:45 – I don’t like to hurt people’s feelings. But there are always going to be winners and losers, there’s no such thing as not being winners and losers. Yes, we can live in a better society than we did 100 years ago, and 100 years before that. We should be striving to do that. But even in those societies, there are still going to be people who do better, and people who do worse. Striving to do good is something that I think everyone should do.

22:45 – Preparing for Battle, my book, is launching on Amazon. Even this experience, we talked about preparing for battle, this is my first book, this is my debut book. There were things that I didn’t even know I needed to prepare for myself to do this. But you know, I had a small team that I put together, I worked with my editor quite a bit to make sure I was trying to create something that people actually could digest. So you know, it’s not just me saying it the way I want to say it, but I’m trying to say everything in a way that’s easily digestible, and something that builds a lot of confidence and inspiration and people who are thinking about starting their own business, I think it’s more about getting in the right mindset for the challenges ahead than thinking that you can study or cram all the information or memorize all the information necessary to be an entrepreneur.

31:00 – In football, you had to position yourself and prepare yourself for that type of impact, potentially, or avoid that type of impact. That was part of the strategy. I think that’s the closest that we actually get to combat sports or physical sports like that. I think it’s the closest we actually get to the kind of real world consequences for some of our decisions.

40:00 – I think that’s the issue, like you said, not every company cares, and the companies that don’t care, unfortunately, they get the profits early on. They also get the best stories that come out about them. I’m sure there are people who are saying, hey, this company was too good to be true. Or you could have done your research and seeing prior to the story coming out that they necessarily weren’t abiding by the book. Trying to put a high quality product as the foundation of what they do. For me, it’s hard for me not to do that with any brand that I associate myself with.

52:25 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

When I graduated from college, and even when I first started the business, I didn’t realize how many people don’t necessarily have the same intensity about business, but the same same intensity about kind of creating or leaving a legacy. I know there are people out there like that now, and I think a lot of times you have doubt, because maybe everyone in your circle or everyone around you is not necessarily as intense about success or healthy lifestyle. I tell people to lean into that and to lead people towards the direction in what you know, is right. I think all business owners, especially any type of person that’s in a position of leadership needs to be kind of held more accountable to the overall well being of what they’re trying to achieve. Am I a cut enough corners today to get to the bottom line? I think it has to be a more conscious approach to life, especially now that we’re in this digital age.

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 15 May 2017 14:00:00 +0000

Returning Kettlebell Champion and Millionaire Blueprint Mindset Co-Host:

In this episode, we catch back up since our attendance at the Millionaire Blueprint event that Valerie and I both attended in New Jersey last month. We had actually recorded live at the event over lunch, however, the audio was lost. Today’s show, we’re taking the time to reminisce and review our thoughts and lessons learned only a few weeks later.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”02:35″] Components to help change your mind.
[spp-timestamp time=”03:15″] Feeling I’m the Kettlebell Champion of the world!
[spp-timestamp time=”06:05″] Fight or Flight.
[spp-timestamp time=”06:36″] Getting yourself to mind-body state.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:00″] Top 3 teachings from Jeffery Combs that are easy to implement…
[spp-timestamp time=”08:13″] 1. Mental: You wouldn’t let people walk into your house and throw garbage on your living room floor. Why do you constantly allow them to throw it into your brain via the news, television, press, etc.
[spp-timestamp time=”09:00″] 2. Fitness: You can’t go after something hating it. You can’t go after something with a fight over your workouts.
[spp-timestamp time=”09:37″] 3. Mental: Where your head is at, your body will go with it.
[spp-timestamp time=”10:25″] Now I let people fight their own battles.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:15″] Everyone sees Valerie and says she has chronic enthusiasm.
[spp-timestamp time=”12:45″] Part of the Millionaire Blueprint mindset: don’t “fix people”. Rather Be It, so other people See It, and know that it is evident and achievable is how she lives.

Don’t Fix People, Rather Be It, So Other People See It ~ Valeria Pawlowski

[spp-timestamp time=”14:10″] We’ve got to program ourselves, I can’t program you.
[spp-timestamp time=”17:40″] Age is only a number.
[spp-timestamp time=”18:12″] Knowledge, Experience, Wisdom
[spp-timestamp time=”19:50″] You can’t live with fear.
[spp-timestamp time=”21:00″] Notes from Dr. Joe Dispenza:
– When your life is working, you’re never thinking about the past.
– Stress is your body not in a place of good homeostasis.
– People live 70% of their life on the fuel and energy generated from stress.
– How can you want when you are already feeling whole. When you feel whole, that’s when the magic happens.
[spp-timestamp time=”22:00″] It’s about being in the moment, living in the moment.
[spp-timestamp time=”23:00″] More notes from Dr. Joe: Stop telling people stories of the past, start telling people visions and stories of your future.
– The biggest loser is you if you stop believing in your future.
[spp-timestamp time=”24:00″] Valerie reminds us of the power of visualization, to run your movie in your head. What’s put into your mind before your head hits the pillow is what’s going to manifest.
[spp-timestamp time=”25:00″] Joe’s definition of genius: Be comfortable and be okay with it.

Definition of Genius: Be comfortable and okay with it. ~ Dr. Joe Dispenza

045: Strauser Project, Kettlebells, Isagenix, Epidermolysis Bullosa

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 30 Jan 2017 21:15:00 +0000

Epidermolysis Bullosa gofundme Project Co-Hosting:

This episode was recorded live at CrossFit Adoration with repeat co-host Brian Strauser of The Strauser Project. He has gone through an exciting transformation in life and business since Brian’s last appearance on LIVETHEFUEL. Brian has also been impacting the lives of others through various charity efforts, in particular someone living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). Which you will hear more about on this episode. Brian has been living a life of purpose.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”03:00″] Moving in the right direction since Brian’s previous episode
[spp-timestamp time=”04:35″] Opening people’s eyes. Sometimes what you are looking at isn’t what’s actually going on. Don’t be so naive to think when you look at your loved ones everything is great because on the surface things may look great but deep down things may not be.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:02″] Keeping up with the Jones’s. Assuming the worst. Brian tries to make people’s lives better when he is around them. Do something, it’s better than looking on and doing nothing.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:46″] Are we remaining approachable so people remain comfortable to work with you on their goals. We need to be coaching and supporting each other in life. Lead by example.
[spp-timestamp time=”13:54″] Brian has become a voracious podcast consumer. The impostor syndrome. Doing your self-work to fight your impostor syndrome. Since Brian has been using isogenic, he has become the product of the product. Brian had been a personal trainer for ten years.
[spp-timestamp time=”18:07″] Anti-scales. It’s all about the inches. It’s the inflammatory weight leaving your body. Brian in the past 30 days lost 10 inches.
[spp-timestamp time=”19:00″] Bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a commonly used method for estimating body composition and in particular body fat.
[spp-timestamp time=”21:03″] Nutrient density. Having nutrient dense meals not only to support the body through the transformation but to maintain the existing muscle mass.
[spp-timestamp time=”23:01″] Supported fasting day. You are given a certain amount of snacks and supports along with the cleansing supplement, your body is naturally able to cleanse and detox but many of us are not healthy enough to do it. What Brian took just jacks it up to give you a super a deep cleansing day.
[spp-timestamp time=”23:56″] Fasting has been around for centuries in different forms. The importance of sleep, circadian rhythm, helps you rest, recover and heal.
[spp-timestamp time=”26:40″] It’s 2017, with New Year’s resolutions still a hot topic, you can’t go from couch potatoes to guns blazing because you could cause injury, cause tears in your muscle tissue all these side effects that could end up setting you back and psychologically having a negative impact on you. Build up. Take your time. Whether it’s a nutritional program or your workouts take your time, be smart with your body and it’s transformation. It is a process.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:46″] Mind of the Athlete
[spp-timestamp time=”30:30″] How Scott and Brian met
[spp-timestamp time=”32:06″] Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a general term used to describe a group of rare inherited skin disorders that cause the skin to become very fragile. Brian has been helping and raising money for John Hudson Dilgen, a young man from Staten Island, New York who suffers from Epidermolysis Bullosa.
[spp-timestamp time=”33:43″] Skin is the largest organ on our body. These children with Epidermolysis Bullosa are essentially an open wound. Brian had previously raised $1200 for the EBRP by competing in the Wilderness 101 Mountain bike race. Brian wanted to do something for him personally, he couldn’t buy him a video game or a bike, so he was told by his aunt, who is on the board of Epidermolysis Bullosa, what he could do personally for him. Brian made some custom oak steps for John’s service dog. He got to hand deliver this to John which was the emotional and life-changing moment for him. Then recently Brain came across a video on Facebook at 04:30 in the morning. The video was about Johns living conditions, he lived in an old Victorian style house in Staten Island New York which really was not set up for John’s condition. His parents are now looking to remodel the middle floor of their house to accommodate a special bath tub. After tagging his boss and company in a post on Facebook, Brian managed by 10:30 to get the kitchen design, build, delivery and installation absolutely free through sponsorship. The cabinetry for the bathroom free with soapstone counters.
[spp-timestamp time=”41:22″] The company that donated all of the above was Precise Graphix which were featured on the television show The Profit.
[spp-timestamp time=”44:54″] Brian is setting up some fundraisers and fitness classes with Inner Strength
[spp-timestamp time=”48:35″] Kettlebells. When your hurting doesn’t stop. Brian feels back to the way he used to be.
[spp-timestamp time=”52:45″] We all have our highs and we all have our lows. Just take the time out to reach out and let someone know how you are doing and be real about it.
[spp-timestamp time=”54:23″] Final Words

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 17:55:00 +0000

Team USA Kettlebell Champion Co-Host:

Having the right mindset and staying positive will drive you to do anything and be anything. It starts up there, in your mind. The visualization process and eliminating all doubt. You don’t need to waste your time on that. Worry is a wasted emotion. The feelings of worry and doubt will rule your life. You dictate what you are going to tell yourself. The conversations you have with yourself should always be positive. This positive mindset is the embodiment of today’s co-host Valerie Pawlowski of Team Isagenix. Valerie is a two times World Champion Kettlebell Sport, Gold Medalist for Team USA and runs multiple businesses around Kettlebell and the fitness industry with the help of Isagenix.

[spp-timestamp time=”16:06″] Treating the route cause not the symptom
