The Essential 11

Today's guest runs multiple businesses from the Ketogenic Athlete to the Fat Fueled Family. He is someone who has always been interested in taking his health and fitness into his own hands, competing in multiple sports like football and then moving on to work in a sports-filled coaching career. At the University of Florida he worked with the national championship men’s basketball team, along with women’s basketball, tennis, and golf programs and then went on to become the Strength & Conditioning Coordinator for VCU basketball, helping the Rams win the 2007 conference championship and making it to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

He has been out of collegiate Strength & Conditioning for almost a decade, but he has continued to compete in sports such as Crossfit, powerlifting, half marathons, and, more recently, rowing. In June of 2016, he discovered the ketogenic lifestyle and never looked back. Since then, he and his wife, Maura, have found a calling to help others succeed in their desires to become healthy and happy human beings.

Danny Castillo worked for a time in marketing in sales. He hated it. At the age of 28, much later than people typically get started, Danny decided to do a complete career shift and start professionally fighting in the UFC. He had to train hard, and he brought his work ethic to the table. He has since begun his own business, a palates studio based in Sacramento and has started a family. 

All of these things require a sense of discipline and a willingness to take on challenges that come with that. With his busy schedule, he still finds the time to give back to the community by getting involved with Make A Wish and helping members of his community improve their health through his business.

This man has a truly impressive story. He dropped out of high school, got married and had his first child all within the same year. He knew he had to find a way to support them, but he hated the standard 9-5 job. 

His solution was to use the internet to his advantage. He discovered flipping used books on Amazon. 15 years (and 2 Gary Vee Interviews) later, his YouTube family is over 138,000 subscribers. On his channel, he openly shares how he made 5-Million in lifetime sales on Amazon with his viewers. Reezy's life could have gone a totally different direction, but he chose to be intentional about his walk in life and take things into his own hands. 

Reezy is a family man, an ultimate hustler, youtube personality and he's been featured on the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and CBS News.

Now, hear his take on the essential 11 questions.

Bodybuilder, entrepreneur, avid keto-er, YouTuber, and phenomenal human being, Robert Sykes joins us on today's podcast. 

Robert craves intensity, dedication, discipline, hard work, and sacrifice in his life. That's obvious if you watch his YouTube channel. But he also strives to use his knowledge to help others reach their goals. He has a podcast of his own where he invites guests to talk about how to be successful in hitting fitness and health goals while on the keto diet. He's a bodybuilder with a highly successful track record, something that many say isn't possible on the keto diet. And yet, Keto Savage found a way. 

He's a rule-breaker, but he does it with humility and with the utmost respect and appreciation for others. For Robert Sikes, where there's a will there's a way.
