In this episode, I kick off a multi-part podcast series sharing the in-depth stories and lessons learned since starting Bare Performance Nutrition in 2012. I discuss the foundation of BPN, focusing on confidence, curiosity, and courage, recounting pivotal moments like battling an eating disorder as a teenager, discovering a passion for fitness and nutrition, joining the Army ROTC, and finally deciding to launch BPN. This episode covers the early challenges, key milestones, and the initial steps taken to grow the brand.
