The AMP (Al Mega Podcast) – Dustin Bogle - (The A.M.P (Al Mega Podcast)) Podcast Details

Description

Dustin Bogle is a sales expert, multi-location gym owner, and former professional wrestler. He joined Al Mega on the Al Mega podcast to talk about his journey to success, and the challenges he faced. He originally hails from Southern California and was heavily influenced by Mexican culture, including lucha libre shows. During high school, he was invited to a gym by a friend and got into shape. This led him to sign up for a wrestling school, where he learned how to do clotheslines, drop kicks, and other moves. He shared his secrets to perseverance and determination, and his advice for how to reach goals. He encouraged people to make others accountable and to take the necessary steps to handle their business.

Dustin was talking about his experience as a professional wrestler going by the name Diablo for ten years. He was a heel, and he would come out to the matches with fire all over his gear and hit soda out of people's hands. He realized that this was not what he was meant to do, and so he opened his eyes to signs telling him to stop. During the weekdays, he was a personal trainer to pay his bills, and eventually he left wrestling altogether.

Dustin was a professional wrestler for a short time, and he was not making any money. He was only getting paid $20 a show, which didn't even cover his gas. The speaker noted how difficult wrestling is, and that he had to pay his dues by performing for free and sometimes even losing money on food and gas. After some time, the speaker realized that he was not built for the late-night lifestyle, the unhealthy food, and the environment of drugs and infidelity he was surrounded by and thus decided to quit pro wrestling. He realized that the energy of the environment was not something that resonated with him and that it was going against his soul.

Dustin had two major takeaways from his time as a professional wrestler: the mental effort and strength required to handle what goes on in the wrestling world, and the damage on his body he wasn't always able to control. He experienced physical injuries from taking chair shots and getting thrown through tables, and was even told he had the back of an 80-year-old in his twenties. After experiencing the transformative effects of getting fit and losing 60 pounds of body fat, Dustin decided to become a trainer and help others achieve the same. People began to tell him that he was helping them gain a newfound confidence, and this was when he decided to invest his full focus into fitness. He believes that until people experience the immense benefits of being healthy, fit, and strong, he can't overstate how amazing it feels.
