– Niche Down, But Build a Baseline First: Success in the fitness industry comes from first establishing a broad client base before niching down to your ideal clientele. This approach ensures steady revenue and adaptability in a crowded market.
– Differentiate Your Offer: Don’t copy big box gym models—create a unique value proposition, such as Strive 111’s no-class-time, bootcamp-style system, and personalized training modifications to stand out and command higher membership fees.
– Entrepreneurship Demands Sacrifice and Adaptability: Building a business requires relentless work and the ability to adapt to challenges. True success is about managing your time, delegating, and ensuring you don’t sacrifice family for ambition.
Notable Quotes
– “Starting any business is difficult. Creating extraordinary income for yourself is simple, but it’s not easy. If you don’t have some sort of desire or inner purpose, the first sign of an obstacle pops up and you’re done.”
– “You have to know what your gym is and what value you bring to the market. For us, it was exclusivity and a personal trainer-style workout at a group price.”
– “You’re not going to have the social life you think you’re going to have becoming an entrepreneur. You’re trading a 9-to-5 for a 24/7.”

Alex Strathdee is the founder of Shelf Life, a company he started at age 22 to fix the scam-filled book marketing world. Now 28, Alex leads a team of 17 from San Diego, generating over $1 million a year and working with top authors like Dan Heath, Nir Eyal, Lewis Howes, Reid Hoffman, and Carrie Bentley. After leaving a six-figure software job, Alex built Shelf Life into a go-to resource for authors seeking real results in book marketing. His unique journey, tech-forward approach, and deep understanding of both the publishing and marketing landscapes make him a standout guest for anyone interested in turning books into a thriving business.
On this episode we talk about:
How Alex started Shelf Life and transitioned from a six-figure tech job to entrepreneurship
The biggest challenges authors face in selling books after publishing
The evolution and current state of Amazon ads for book marketing
Leveraging podcasts as a powerful business development and networking tool
Creative strategies for landing high-profile clients and building credibility in a crowded market
Actionable book marketing tactics, including giving away free copies and building authentic relationships with readers
The importance of audiobooks and trends in book consumption
Why authors should focus on genuine marketing over vanity metrics like “bestseller” status
Top 3 Takeaways
Podcasting is a Trojan horse for business development: Hosting a podcast enabled Alex to build relationships with top authors, land major clients, and learn from industry leaders—all while growing his business organically.
Give value before asking for value: Offering free copies of a book to the right audience can turn readers into fans and generate authentic reviews, which is far more effective than focusing on paid bestseller campaigns or cold outreach.
Tech-forward thinking wins: Understanding technology—even at a basic level—helps entrepreneurs move faster, automate processes, and stay ahead of less agile competitors in marketing and publishing.
Notable Quotes
"It's way easier to get someone to come on and talk to you for 30-60 minutes during an interview than it is to be like, 'Hey, can I talk to you about marketing my books?'"
"A book from a no-name author is an undifferentiated product from someone with no reputation. You're not just asking for their money, you're asking for their time."
"The second you learn how to do something, you need to learn how not to do it—that's how you grow and scale."

Community is a massive lever for both personal well-being and business growth. Authentic connections with like-minded peers are essential for support, innovation, and navigating the unique challenges entrepreneurs face.
Choosing the right people is everything. Understanding the four categories of people (win-win, usually win-win, win-lose unknowingly, and win-lose knowingly) can save you millions and prevent emotional and financial setbacks.

"You think that you're in charge, but your body's in charge and it runs the operating system of all life on the planet."
"If you're allocating energy to anger, fear, loneliness, cravings, it just wastes all the energy that you ought to be putting into your mission, your family, your community."
"Community is how I made biohacking into a $63 billion industry... I don't think you can do the advanced personal development practices by yourself. It does not work."

Nick Huber is an accomplished entrepreneur and real estate investor based in Athens, Georgia. Best known for building a $30M+ annual revenue portfolio that includes 68 self-storage properties, Nick also owns companies like somewhere.com, Bolt Storage, and RE Cost Seg. He’s recognized for his no-nonsense advice on entrepreneurship, his book The Sweaty Startup, and his focus on building wealth through practical, “boring” businesses rather than chasing flashy startup trends. Nick’s unique perspective comes from real-world experience, not just theory, making him a sought-after voice for aspiring business owners.
On this episode we talk about:
– How Nick made his first and most recent dollar
– The importance of picking the right business “vehicle”
– Why cash is king in real estate investing
– The realities of self-storage and why it’s not truly “passive income”
– Building businesses that solve real problems (like RE Cost Seg and somewhere.com)
Top 3 Takeaways
1. Pick the right business vehicle: Success isn’t just about working hard-it’s about working smart in industries where you can win, even if you’re “average.”
2. Cash matters in real estate: Contrary to popular advice, Nick argues you need capital to succeed in real estate; “no money down” deals are risky and rare.
3. Business is a long game: Building wealth takes years, often generations. Avoid get-rich-quick schemes and focus on boring, proven businesses.
