I welcome Seb Ostrowicz, the founder of Weightlifting House, for a reflective episode sparked by a Facebook memory: our 2019 California trip that led straight into his first World Championships in Thailand.
We revisit the scrappy beginnings of filming with a $200 camera, pilgrimages to gyms like Cal Strength and Marin Heavy Athletics, and how those early risks and relationships set the stage for everything that followed.
We dig into creating opportunities instead of waiting for them, “type-2 fun” and the narrative self, and the realities of building a brand through uncertainty (cash flow, risk tolerance, and learning to hire the right people).
Enjoy.
