future selves. We relate in growing up in struggle and persevering with the determination to give back and create positive change.

Randal Pich is the owner of not one... not two... but THREE businesses! You may be familiar with his most popular brand, Live Fit.

Randal's parents came to the U.S when fleeing Cambodia from genocide and relocated in East Long Beach CA. Growing up in a rough neighborhood surrounded by poverty stricken minorities and gangs around every corner, life wasn't too easy. The one thing that saved Randal from falling into the wrong path was his passion for Skateboarding.

Randal believes skateboarding was where he first realized the importance of how dedicated you need to be in order to succeed at anything in life, and would strive for perfection. Fitness came into his life around 16 and it stuck with him ever since!

Fast forward a couple years and he became a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) and once he started working independently, he was making 6-figures while still in college. Eventually Randal decided to start making t-shirts for his clients to represent him and his training.

But as time went on, people became so interested in his clothing brand that sales started skyrocketing and were almost on the same level of income as his training business! So Randal made the decision to stop training and put his all into the clothing brand, and well... the rest is history!

I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast as much as I enjoyed making it!

Randal is the true definition of an entrepreneur and creator.

Listen to Randal's story and get inspired to chase your dreams!

Enjoy the podcast!

Mr. Dan Charlier is a Haitian born immigrant that came to live with his mother in the United States at the age of 9. Raised in Brooklyn, New York, Mr. Charlier learned from a very early age that success would only come from hard work and perseverance. After high school, Mr. Charlier enlisted in the Marine Corps where he accomplished something only 1% of Marines ever achieve.

He held the most prestigious position of the 23rd Color Sergeant of the Marine Corps leading a platoon of Marines. These fine men were entrusted to carry the colors at the White House and at all ceremonies for the military and the President of the United States.

After 13 years, Mr. Charlier transitioned into the financial services industry where he leads and mentors hundreds of thousands of people. In today's podcast, Dan explains his up comings and how the Marine Corps came into his life.

He tells about his journey scaling up the ranks faster than any others before him and how he accomplished it. After his Marine Days cooled down, Dan happened to stumble on the opportunity of a lifetime, when he was sought out by the man himself, Ed Mylett.

Success became inevitable and the rest was history.

Dan and I go way back and it was actually because of the advice and wisdom he bestowed upon me that helped lead me to where I am today. We talk about how I first got started with owning my personal gym and the potential Dan saw in me.

I will forever be grateful to him and his friendship. Give this podcast a listen and hear from one of the most prestigious men I know, Dan Charlier!

Enjoy the podcast!
