What happens when your dream dies, but your confidence doesn’t? In this episode of the Sell Anything Podcast, Quinn Fabrizio shares how he turned career-ending injuries and a D1 football dream into a thriving career in high-ticket fitness sales. A former Utah safety, Vivint rep, and Supra Human closer, Quinn reveals how his background in elite athletics and relentless work ethic built the foundation for his success in sales and business.
JL and Quinn dive into what it really takes to rebuild identity after failure, from being stuck in Utah’s brutal “Pit” to learning the one-call close that changed his life. They break down why pain is the most powerful motivator in sales, how to master discovery calls that convert, and the discipline behind staying consistent when deals fall through. You’ll also learn why fitness is the ultimate training ground for confidence, conviction, and sales performance. Whether you’re a rep, an athlete , or an entrepreneur, this episode delivers a framework for mental toughness, emotional intelligence, and true self-belief.
