Rich Piana's 5% appeal

[Al Doggity]

I don't really know I only hear from my step-son who works for an apparel co that works with Shredz and has met him a few times on some shoots. I know he's big, seems to be humble with a good business mind. Last I heard Google is trying to buy the code, formula or whatever thats making his social media so successful.

LOL What???  He doesn't have any code that google is trying to buy. He's just a spokesperson for a supplement company. He doesn't even have a million instagram followers.

Coach, this is up there with the best of your stuff. Piana is now in demand, from google no less, for his high intellect. Classic!

[King Shizzo]

Piana and I have something in common. Women find me 5% appealing.

Having lived the fitness lifestyle I can safely say it's fluff-and-hype.  It's important to their image (they pretend it's part of their business model) to "fake it till you make it."  

It's either that ..... or the fact that there are a dozen mega-wealthy schmoes that bankroll these guys like Joey but do so discreetly because they have secret relationships with the fitness guys (and live the lie of fake hetero men married with children to the rest of the world).

I personally did not follow this "business plan" but I saw enough of it on the inner circle... and it was offered to me several times.

I hate to interrupt another fascinating "debate" between Coach and The Beef, but I think we are all missing some excellent dirt that Grant might want to dish here...

Haha! Google's engineers were working around the clock to reverse-engineer Joey's "code" and couldn't do it, so they MUST acquire him to get the intellectual property! LMAO!

My point wasn't about whats happening now. It's whats going to happen later. I know he's in demand NOW. I'd be willing to bet you didn't even begin to watch that interview I posted. Piana, by all accounts is on his own and he did a great job creating HIS OWN brand. Joey Swoll is backed by a thriving corporation that puts him on a salary more than what Piana could dream of. Piana has the persona of catering too and attracting thug-like wanna-be's and IMO can only take you so far. Shredz on the other hand appeals to everyone with a more professional and organized backing. If you would have heard in the interview, Arvin Lal took what he learned in the corporate world and grew the shit out his company in a short time. Be logical about it instead of being an ASSHOLE.

Another brilliant rebut.

[Waller]

I don't agree that his success will only last as long as his image holds up.

If his brand is strong enough, all he needs is somebody else who represents the same image with enough charisma as he declines and takes a back seat.

He can still share his knowledge and express his opinions, just use somebody else as the face of the brand.

But that says nothing about Swoll's future. He's a paid endorser and could have the rug pulled out from under him at any time. For that matter, so could Shredz. Instagram appeals to an extremely fickle demographic and supplement companies are not known for their longevity- not exactly a recipe for long term success.

LOL- used to workout at the same NY area gym as bodybuilder who was "sponsored" by an openly gay businessman. The bodybuilder moved from the west coast to stay with the sponsor. Bodybuilder was publicly straight and moved back to west coast after about two years. He's married now to a woman in the fitness industry. At some point before the marriage he did some g4p vids.

I know everyone says bodybuilding is just a gateway to the g4p industry, but most of the NY bodybuilders that I actually know haven't done g4p.

Mistake. I should have clarified and said Shredz the company. Not a code but I would say closer to a formula.

which can only mean they sell tonnes of gear. It's one or the other.

I was getting tired of THE BEEF's constant harassment of you, but now, I'm starting to see things in a different light.

Then feel free to jump in instead of loading the thread with bullshit jabs. Is that possible?

My business coach and I were talking about this last week. While he may make money now, it's going to be short lived. He's put himself in the position that he can't undo, meaning his body image. He's going to have to find a way to maintain that as he gets older which is next to impossible. His company and him and a couple of years left at best.

This is a typical cope used by those who are jealous of those richer than them.

Do you really think hard driving entrepreneurs are in it so they can work till 80 years old or that if one is making enough money currently and for the appropriate amount of time that they can't retire or sell their business?

Most people who are successful entrepreneurs aim to become an administrator or chairman of the business they founded so they don't have to remain shackled to a business for 60 or more hours per week as they hobble around with a walker or serve coffees and flip burgers as we see senior and even middle age people doing today.

Which actually can be quite far! Do you think Eminem earned millions by acting like a choir boy. Acting like or appearing as a wigger, degenerate, low life, or overgrown kid is quite lucrative for some in current-day America.

In contrast, take Shredz' Joey Swoll. Makes a ton of money, has a good look that can be maintained for years to come and a solid business and plan.

Not at all. What he needs to do is continue to market those in his group. The other guys will keep that image and he'll just be the leader. He may fizzle out but as long as his mentors can take over the 5% brand will remain.

Quite. Tap Out all over again.

As you can see, most PUA and lifting videos on You Tube made by white guys have a wigger-hip-hop flavor to them, whether it's the garb that 40-plus year old men look ridiculous wearing (jerseys, outfits, Jordans, sideways and backwards baseball caps, enormous basketball shorts that extend to mid-shin), 'Brew slang, an abnormal gait in which one voluntarily walks with a limp or some other physical handicap, the music, or laughable badass posturing.

It's crass, but it works.
