Summary:
Dustin Myers and Cory Gregory are lifelong friends, fitness gurus, cofounders of Old School Gym (aka the Midwest Mecca, which has featured the likes of several world-class athletes, including Arnold Schwarzenegger), and part of the founding team of Max Effort Muscle . In this episode we talk about the process of building a brand through being a practitioner, how quality comes first in their new supplement company (Max Effort muscle), delivering value via social media, the 4am crew and the relationships that are built at Old School Gym, their upcoming Muscle Beach trip, and their path to where they are today!
