In this episode I interview the co-Founder of Fitocracy, Dick Talens. Dick grew up a "fat kid" and discovered his own tricks to fat loss that he now applies with his clients. He even competed in a bodybuilding show in the mid 2000s. Dick is a prolific writer and has written for LifeHacker, Bodybuilding.com, Schwarzenegger, and much much more. He was also named one of the top 100 Most Influental People in Health and Fitness by Greatist this year. Dick is one of a kind in the fitness industry and one of the most fun people to chat with. In this episode we discuss: - how he keeps himself from getting distracted - his story and how he moved from fat kid to bodybuilder - would he recommend anyone try a bodybuilding show just once - dude we should own a bar! and call it puzzles! - where the birth of the idea for Fitocracy came from - his favorite game ever, Nexus the Kingdom of Winds - his history of trolling and why he does it - his failed cupcake business - how he might make a great reality tv star - which harsh truth of dieting was the hardest for him to face - unique cultural expressions - what he used to hold as truth but has changed over time - sugar today vs 50 years ago - the commonality between people who change their deep held beliefs - problems with research scientists and pub med studies - what his regiment looks like meow - his current coach Ben Tormey - what famous person from history he would want to meet from history - how he met Mike Vacanti and how he is dead to him links I Want to Look Like That Guy Roger Lawson Matt Perryman |
