Welcome to another episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast! On today’s episode, Rob talks to Jay Cutler, 4X Mr. Olympia winner and the founder of Cutler Nutrition.

Discover what bodybuilding and business – yes, two very different fields – have in common. For example, to be a pro bodybuilder and businessman, you have to have a strong mindset and maintain great relationships. Aside from this, Rob and Jay talk about how failure is important, how did Jay make the transition, how passion projects can be successful, how Sylvester Stallone in Rocky IV inspired him, and many more!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mind to Muscle Connection. You have to have a visual you want to achieve in your mind. See the genetic potentials. Consider the training, health and nutrition you have to keep track of.

Bodybuilding needs hardcore mentality, aside from hard work and dedication. Jay has decided since he was 12 that he wanted to mould his own body to have a perfect and fit physique. At the age of 18, he started his training. He learned on his own and listened from trainers.

Failure is important to grow mentally. Every time Jay enters a competition, he tells himself that he already ‘won’ it despite whatever the result will be. You have to have strong mindset.

Staying relevant and active in the community already feels like winning. Helping others who want to get into bodybuilding beats the times Jay goes up the stage to receive awards. Being impactful makes him feel good.

Communication and relationships are important. When Jay made the transition to managing his business ventures, he felt it happened ‘automatically’.

Consistency, dedication, and commitment. Jay advises young bodybuilders to prioritize those three. Stay on what you believe and stay passionate. Sometimes, we get influenced by people around us and our track gets shifted.

How did Jay make the transition from professional bodybuilding to business? Aside from coming from a business-inclined family, he focused to venture on something he’s passionate about. He wanna do so much more for the community.

Choose what you want to do. Don’t let other people tell you otherwise. It might take you long time to see results you want but it’s going to be worth it. Don’t be afraid to fail. No one likes it but you should be able to roll with it.
