Manage episode 503679827 series 2724196
In this electrifying episode, Mike dives deep into the raw and unfiltered journey of a man who built businesses in fitness, nutrition, consulting, and even popcorn… all without outside investors.
From sleeping in his car for six months just to keep a dream alive, to opening multiple retail stores, gyms, and launching Rexius Nutrition, Tim’s story is one of resilience, grit, and relentless self-belief. Along the way, you’ll discover the pivotal role of real human connection — the kind that’s built face-to-face, one handshake at a time.
This isn’t only about business hustle. It’s about legacy. Tim credits his wife, Brittany, as the partner who fueled their explosive growth, reveals why giving employees ownership creates unstoppable teams, and reflects on the family lessons that shaped his vision. And in one jaw-dropping reveal, he shares how ignoring his wife and daughters’ advice cost him a fortune…a mistake that forever changed the way he listens, leads, and adapts.
This is the story of a man determined not only to build companies but to leave a mark so powerful that future generations will still be talking about it. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to turn ambition into impact, this one’s for you.
