What if everything you've been told about bike pedals is complete nonsense?
James Wilson (aka Bike James), Founder of MTB Strength Training and Pedaling Innovations, didn't set out to destroy an entire industry's narrative. He just wanted to understand why clipless pedals supposedly made you faster when the science said otherwise.
Turns out... there IS no science. Just marketing BS that's been repeated for so long, everyone believes it.
In this episode, James breaks down:
• How he went from hating clipless pedals to discovering they're actually WORSE for performance
• The "midfoot positioning" breakthrough that led to his patent (spoiler: it's how kids naturally ride bikes)
• Why he had to become his own manufacturer when no bike company would listen
• How he pre-sold $20K worth of pedals to his email list before making a single unit
• The "clipless pedal mafia" and why bike magazines won't tell you the truth
• His blueprint for taking any technical idea from garage prototype to profitable business
Plus Scott and James get into the psychology of dealing with haters, why most businesses fail at storytelling, and how emotional connection beats technical specs every damn time.
Warning: This episode will make you question everything you think you know about "industry standards" in any field.
