In this episode of The Reluctant Billionaire, Andrew sits down with Ben, a certified personal trainer, powerlifter, supplement founder, and host of his own fitness podcast. From growing up in a home gym built by his grandfather, to training alongside SWAT officers, to setting a deadlift world record as a teenager, Ben’s story is pure grind, discipline, and curiosity.
Together they dive deep into:
The science behind soreness, hydrogen ions vs. lactic acid
Why mobility made Conor McGregor unstoppable
How Ironman athletes balance salt, carbs, hydration, and energy
What most trainers still get wrong
Performance, longevity, and why every body responds differently
Ben’s journey into supplement formulation and creating a smarter pre-workout
Weight loss, testosterone, and the realities of training over 40 and 50
This is a wide-open conversation on fitness, physiology, recovery, and what it really takes to perform at a high level, whether you're lifting, running Ironmans, or just trying to feel better in your own body.
A must-listen for anyone who trains, lifts, struggles with diet, or wants to understand how the human body actually works.
