Freedomcast by Freedom Fitness Equipment

Dylan Tellam is the VP of Innovation for Abmat, and passionate about  disrupting the fitness industry in fundamental ways. His work with  creators, and other entrepreneurs, is really putting Abmat on the map,  with products like the Preacher Pad in collaboration with Garage Gym  Lab, the Barbell Bomb, and the Chest Up Pad in collaboration with Bonnie  Schroeder. Unlike most companies, Dylan takes a different approach to  the competition, encouraging innovation and reaching out to other  companies and brands for collaboration and influence.

In this  episode, we talk about how the everyday gym goer can themselves  influence big players like Abmat and Rogue to change products, innovate  within their own business, and really help the home gym community out  with products that impact and change people's lives in a meaningful way.

The  FreedomCast Podcast was started by a guy buying and selling fitness  equipment in his backyard. In less than a year, I quit my full-time job,  and started a fitness empire. I now interview unique and interesting  entrepreneurs in the health and fitness industry who have built  businesses around helping others become more active. It's fun, it's  entertaining, it's informative, it's what fitness should be.

Olivia Pellish is not your traditional fitness influencer. She got  into it with Joel Seedman who is known for creating controversial  fitness videos while stating they have scientific backing and making  snarky comments to people who disagree. Olivia came in and absolutely  destroyed his content through a series of TikTok videos, drawing a  massive amount of attention and creating a cult-like following for her  content.

She is now tagged on many other "Fitfluencer" videos to debunk and  address through scientific research, and is adamant about creating  content that has evidence-based backing, while tearing down those in the  fitness community who surreptitiously try to obscure the truth through  manipulation, hearsay, and anecdotal evidence.

In this interview we discuss Joel Seedman and MLMs, the pros and cons  of different approaches to fitness, and how to dig into the science to  discover what's actually going on.

Although Sam is no longer with EliteFTS, at the time of this  recording we interviewed Sam about his experience meeting Dave Tate,  growing an already monolithic EliteFTS brand through a budding social  media strategy, and all of the lessons he learned along the way about  powerlifting, fitness equipment, and how to actually get Dave Tate to  talk to you. Going from a truly corporate environment to working with  the EliteFTS crew was quite the change. Sam moved several states away  just to be a part of the company.

From classic nerdy guy to insanely strong powerlifter, you can't find a more awesome guy than Joe Coursey.  Joe was introduced to the gym early by his uncle who was invested in  strongman back in the '80s! Now, not only is Joe a massive dude who has  spanned everything from bodybuilding and weightlifting to powerlifting,  but Joe has over a 2000lb total in squat, bench, and deadlift, and hangs  with the best in the powerlifting community.

In  this episode we talk everything from teaching jocks how to lift,  increasing an already humongous bench, to nerding out over comic books  and scifi. Take a listen to this episode if you want to get an inside  look on a great powerlifting origin story.
