Price. Hey Chad, how areyou doing? Thank you for having me.
I'm doing great today. It ismy pleasure. I always love bringing

(02:10):
back people and hearing more great thingsabout what's going on in your world.
But before we dive into the book, because that is the main reason why
I really wanted to come back,because I know you've got something great going
on, tell us a little bitmore about who Chad Price really is.
Sure, you know, I thinkwhen I try to think about myself,

(02:31):
I obviously had to do it's quitea bit to write the book and try
to kind of culminate my journey.If you will. You know, I
think looking back at things after sellingthe company, you know, we went
on a teen year journey with KettlebellKings, and going through the acquisition really
helped me put things in perspective.You know, I've had kind of a

(02:51):
long experience my entire life of playingon competitive teams and being a part of
different organizations, but especially my athleticorganizations. That taught me a lot of
less and concepts about how to workwith groups of people to achieve things that
we can't achieve as individuals. AndI think, you know, it's sort
of instinct. Instinctually, I pickeda lot of that up and apply that

(03:12):
to my business early on, andnow I'm really trying to refine some of
those thoughts and ideas and really kindof give give that back to as many
people that listen and try to getpeople to understand that. You know,
I think, no matter who youare as a person, you're you need
to kind of develop the correct mindsetto take on tough challenges. And so,
you know, I think that's kindof what I've helped identifying myself,

(03:35):
is that that's really what I liketo do, is I you know,
I like to see tough challenges,and if it's someone that's got to take
care of it, you know,I almost want to volunteer for the job,
just because I think life is aseries of those types of challenges,
and that's kind of what makes usstronger, is going through those types of
experiences. Correct exactly, because evenbefore you had cattle bell Kings, you

(03:57):
actually worked in the corporate arena forquite some time. Talk a little bit
about that, you know, there'sa little backstory on that and how it
really did motivate you into moving forwardon your own. Well, when you
graduate college, I think everyone's ina similar situation where you know, there's
the fortunate few who know exactly whatthey want to do and they go right
and see their career, and thenthere's you know, most of us who

(04:19):
are kind of just trying to feelthings out. And you know, like
everyone else, I was trying tofeel things out, trying to uh,
you know, find a good payingjob. That was really hard in two
thousand and eight, twenty seven,two thousand and eight when I graduated.
But long story short, all thoseexperiences, even the low paying jobs from
me, you know, finding abetter job and then a better job,

(04:41):
all of that help kind of honethe skills that I ended up developing over
time to prepare for entrepreneurship. So, you know, I've worked a twelve
dollars an hour job, I've workeda you know, fifty dollars an hour
job that's going to give me differentperspectives and help me prepare myself for talking
and associating with those people on theteams that I then develop inside of my

(05:02):
company. But also, you know, when I'm working with a different corporation
or vendor, I understand, youknow, based on their business sides and
the dynamic of their interactions. Iunderstand a lot better what they are capable
of doing what they aren't capable ofdoing. So, you know, I
think having that kind of self awarenessto just learn really in any kind of
setting that you're currently in, it'sthe most important part. And that's really

(05:24):
what I tried to do. Incorporate America. Everything was just you know,
like, what position do you needme to play on this team for
now? You know, I neversaw anything it's something that I was going
to take on for you know,the rest of my life. It was
always you know, in preparation forsomething bigger and better. Yeah, and
you can definitely tell with your conversationthat you have been in the competitive world.
Uh you know, the sports arenas, so you know the way you

(05:46):
talk when as a team player.You know, even though we've heard that
word a lot, you use itin a different mannerism And I think that's
what makes you stand out even more. So, you know, talk a
little bit about the the mindset,because you said earlier on that mindset is
what makes you pretty much who youare and how you become successful. Why
is that so important? And whatdo you do differently than you think most

(06:08):
other people have done or could dodifferently? Well? I think sports prepares
you for overcoming loss quite a bitbetter than let's say, normal life does.
In sports, you have to putquite a bit of energy and effort
into preparing yourself for the competitive events, especially if you're playing on competitive level.

(06:29):
You know you're trying to go andyou know have aspirations to play in
college or professionally. You're going tohave to put a lot of time and
effort and all that. It doesn'talways work out. And when it doesn't
work out, are you going togo back out there that next day?
I think that kind of how manytimes, can you get knocked down and
get back up? Type of mentalityis very useful in business. You know,

(06:50):
I think you don't know what youdon't know when you start a company,
you definitely don't know what you don'tknow when you're twenty one, twenty
two years old coming out of knowledge. So you're going to find yourself in
a situation where you're where you're facinga challenge for the first time, where
you're facing circumstances that you never firsthave had first seen, and having kind

(07:12):
of the mindset to I don't youknow, I don't care what's put in
front of me. I'm still goingto get up the next day and try
my best. I don't care ifI lose, you know, last week,
I can still do better this week. Having that kind of quick reset
on your on your memory to kindof put your losses behind you and learn
the lessons and move forward, butthen also to compete on a daily basis.

(07:32):
You know, all of that camefrom from my sports background, and
you developed that almost almost naturally whenyou play sports, because if you don't,
you know, you will be tomorrowlized. You know, I lost a
bunch of games that could have ruinedseasons. But that's just not the mindset
that you that you have when you'replaying on a competitive level. Absolutely absolutely,

(07:54):
And you're right, you know,being in sports at you it's it's
gonna make or break you one oneway or the other. But you know,
like I say, it's a processof anything that you do, and
you're taking that process and you've youknow, taken those pieces and you brought
it together to build a multimillion dollaracquisition of kettle Bell Kings in the course,
and you like, you know,you sold that and so then you

(08:15):
open up another business talk a littlebit about life grows green. It's you
said it, it's disrupts the hempstereotypes. What does that mean? Well,
I think you know, one ofthe things I learned on the journey
with kettle Bell Kings is that Ihad I wasn't really able to reach as
many people I wanted kind of inthe natural lifestyle product space. So health

(08:39):
and wellness was really big for me. When I started the company. I
didn't even realize how much of apassion I would have for it. But
seeing people actually actually transform their livesand live a better life because of a
company that I found it or evenassociated with genuinely drives me to make better
products and kind of make better contentand just you know, overall better brand
in general. But I wasn't ableto necessarily do everything I wanted to do

(09:03):
under the flag quote unquote Kepabo Kings. So life grows green. To me
is a is a bigger vision thatI have of people who appreciate lifestyle products
that are made from nature rather thanlet's say pharmaceutical or chemical or commercial ways.
So you know, if we canmake a natural product replace something that
has potential harm or danger for you, I think that's always a positive solution

(09:28):
in our society because of you know, the capitalization of America or however you
want to look at the reasoning behindwhy we kind of lean towards the cheaper,
more toxic option a lot of times, I think it's a lot would
have a lot to do with misinformation, And to me, brands have the
ability to build trust where you don'thave to be an expert to necessarily trust

(09:54):
the brand, and I think they'rebecoming more and more brands like that that
actually stand for value that people canrally around. And we were able to
achieve that in the cell in thecatebel community, and I'd like to be
able to achieve that in the naturallifestyle product space. Yeah, you're right,
you know, definitely trust is importantbecause you're right. When you have
a lot of these products that areout, you know, they sound great,

(10:16):
that all of a sudden you startto hear this, all these million
and other little things behind saying well, this is going to affect this,
and this is gonna affect that.It's like, wait a minute, why
do you want me to take thisagain? You know? So you know
it's it's exactly right, you know. So it's amazing that you have so
many prides have been like I said, it's the cheap way, it's the
quick version. It may help youtemporarily, but then there's always something else
you have to worry about. Soit's great that we're seeing more and more

(10:39):
products that come out that are arenatural. They are what they truly call
organic, you know, the thingsthat the terms we didn't hear. I
did not hear coming up as akid. There was no such thing as
organic because everything that we had trulycame from the ground, you know,
we ate it. We didn't haveto worry about the chemicals. I didn't
have to worry about, you know, the vegetables turning brown two days after
you you know, bought them,those types of things. So it's great

(11:00):
that people are trying to get backto that natural earthiness of what we need
to have for our bodies, becausethat's what's the most important to keep us
healthy and whole. And the waythat you're doing it, obviously is a
proper way of doing it and learningit through all the things that you've accomplished,
I think is what's even more importantbecause with you being very athletic and
competitive, it made you even thinka little bit more about how you service

(11:22):
your body and then how it canalso help others all the way through with
the Kettle Bell Kings, you knowproduct, and then now you have this
new product. But let's talk aboutthis book, because the last time we
met, you were in preparation ofgetting the book out, and now this
book is out. So talk aboutpreparing us for battle, because I can't
wait to hear about it. Sure, the journey to kind of write the

(11:48):
book started, you know, evenI would say, even before I started
my first company, I've always thoughtabout, you know, writing a book,
but I never really knew, youknow, what do people want to
hear from me? You know,I even had that racist to right science
fiction and things like that, Butthat's a that would be another topic another
show. But in this particular book, you know, I came to that

(12:09):
milestone with the cell of the company, and you know, looking back at
my life and that kind of experiencethat I went through, it really,
you know, it was somewhat nostalgicand looking back like that, this was
a long journey. This was tenyears of my life. This was something
that you know, I went tocollege to try to prepare myself for.

(12:30):
You know, when I was incollege, I was thinking like, Okay,
I need to get smarter and youknow, make the right connections and
do everything that I can to putmyself in a position to have a company
like this. And culminating the journeyreally, you know, kind of brought
it home and I was able tokind of sit back, work with an
editor and really put out a pieceof content that I thought captured my business

(12:52):
experience and also gave people some understandingof how I got to some of the
concepts that actually helped me in businessand why I think the way I think
you know, I don't think there'sone right strategy to any particular situation,
but I think understanding who you areand knowing how to use your experiences to

(13:13):
your benefit, so learning from thoseexperiences in actually applying those lessons and later
in life, I think it's thebigger thing. And we all have,
you know, I'm sure you havelessons that you've learned the hard way that
I didn't have, you know,to go through, but that you that
that can help you moving forward.And I just try to really, you
know, in the book, Itry to prepare everyone to take advantage of

(13:33):
those types of experiences they that theyhad to prepare themselves for their entrepreneur success.
Yeah, and I like when Iread your bile that you talk about
a solid business plan that seems tobe a fight for some people, like
I don't want to do a businessplan, or I don't have but I
don't know how to do it.Talk about your perception and your thought process

(13:54):
of what a business plan is,well, well, I mean, I
think a lot of people get intimidatedby the idea of a business plan,
and to me, it's it's notsomething that needs to be intimidating, especially
now that you have AI like,it's it's easy now compared to post post
the internet, I mean pre internet, if you will, right, if

(14:16):
you're talking about the having to writea business plan in nineteen ninety five,
that's a different experience. Absolutely,you have all that. You have all
there, so you you have allof the tools now. Especially it is
really mapping out your vision and yourideas and I think you're going to have

(14:37):
to work on teams and you're goingto have to communicate what's in your head
to other individuals. So a businessplan, to me, it is just
the first opportunity that you actually getto practice doing that, and you will
that is uncomfortable for most people todo. You don't do that on a
regular basis. It is kind oflike you telling, Okay, how do
I want my perfect child to act, how do I want you know,
my my moltivate vehicle to perform.It's like it's a it's a it's a

(15:01):
personal experience because you're you're telling alittle bit about yourself in there as well.
But I think that's that's the goodthing about formulating a clear a clear
business plan. It allows everyone tosee your passion forward and why it means
something to you, so that itis taking serious. So before the business
exists, what are we talking about? Like, everyone has a different idea

(15:24):
of what this word that you've createdas your brand is. But without something
that we can formally look at togetherand objectively observe from our different perspectives and
ask questions about, we're not reallytalking about the same company. So to
me, that's just the starting pointfor getting everybody on the same page to
say, Okay, this is whatwe're doing here, this is the reason

(15:46):
why we're here. This is thestructure in which we're going to go about
trying to achieve whatever it is we'retrying to achieve in this business plan.
Absolutely, I mean, you're right, it gives that people the opportunity to
listen to learn, but then alsogive view pointers of whom you know,
is this really what we want forthe people? Is this really the direction

(16:07):
that we are going to take?Even though we know at the end of
the day, yes, you're youget to make the final decision. But
what people don't understand is that abusiness plan is not just for today.
It's for every step of the waythat you're improving and making those moves in
that business. And I think that'sthe problem with most people when they hear
business plan, it becomes foreign tothem, you know. And even though,
like you said, the tools aremuch more available today, because when

(16:29):
I know, and I did myplans back in the early nineties, you
know, it was getting books,you know, sitting down, talking to
people, you know, doing interviews. I actually train people how to you
know, do prepare for business plans, you know. And people didn't even
know what a library was back inthe day, you know, And most
of them don't know what it istoday either because they don't have to go
to the library. But you know, it's those little things that we think

(16:52):
are that we don't think that areimportant are usually the most important. Because
when you're sitting down and thinking abouta plan, it's not just as much
as just the idea, it's aboutalso the cost. You know, where
are you at financially, are youprepared? Where are you going to need
to make this business? You know, just to even be a startup business,
and not even thinking about where amI going to be a year from

(17:15):
now? Where are you really attoday? And it's amazing how many people
don't have a clue how much moneythey have in their pocket or in their
savings per se, how much theythink they're going to need for the business.
You know, all these little thingsthat they shouldn't be should be focused
on, they're not because they're sofocused on the idea. And I get
it, because we all realize that, you know, we can't do everything.

(17:37):
But that's the whole purpose of havingthat plan too, is that you
start to realize that you cannot doeverything, and there's other people you have
to put in those places to ensurethat the business becomes successful. Right,
So, like you said, it'sa team. There is no I in
team. It's all we and yes, even though you are the creator,
there's so many of the pieces thatcome with that. So I wanted to

(17:57):
jump into that conversation because I thinkit's great to hear from you being,
you know, the generation of theday. You know, when you're the
one I heard doing it today andyou're doing it differently than what I had
done it twenty years ago, oranybody had done it. But it's a
starting point and that starting point willcontinue to grow. So in your book,
though, talk about some of theother give us a few more I

(18:19):
call them peak nuggets. But giveus some nuggets about what you think is
most important to share with our listenerstoday. About your book as well.
I think there's a lot of things, you know. I try to break
it down into ten, you know, the ten building blocks of business,
but you're right, you can havefifty building blocks of businesses. I just
tried to section it off in away that that people can conceptually try to

(18:42):
at least understand some of the topics, so, you know, taking advantage
of digital tools and things like that. For example. You know, I
fortunately was around for the for thebirth of Facebook, right, so when
Facebook first came out, I rememberit just came out and I got a
profile. So I look at thatalgorithm through a different lens than I think

(19:04):
a lot of people do, especiallypeople who didn't go through it. And
I had aspirations for a business atthat time, so I didn't see that
as, oh, this is agreat social tool for me to use and
have fun on, and I sawthat as holy crap, we're gonna be
able to advertise directly to people andsegment them and how you can build lists
from this. And then I wasactually able to go do that with my

(19:26):
company. But that's because I wasliterally studying it without even knowing it,
just because I wanted to be thattype of individual in the future. I
wanted to be a business business professionalbefore I came to college. And while
a lot of people maybe we're lookingat these type of applications for personal use

(19:48):
and recreational use, I always waslooking for the business angle of how I
would utilize these types of things.So someone else's you know, I'm I'm
literally like you're having fun on there. I'm trying to see how you're gonna
be my customers the future. Ithink young young, young entrepreneurs or even
aspiring entrepreneurs. If you know,if you're currently working in a job and
you want to transition, I thinkyou have to start thinking that way about

(20:11):
everything. You know. I thinkthere's so many ways to reach people and
to reach customers and to make adifference. You know, we we we
talked about AI, you know,somewhat in terms of helping you with a
business plan. But there's you know, AI is very similar to like social
media in two thousand and two.It's just beginning the things and tools that

(20:32):
you can utilize from combining your actualknowledge with a tool like AI is incomparable
to what you can do without it. So I try to encourage people to
prepare themselves in the book for situationslike this. So you know, social
media was my particular situation in mymoment to to grasp kind of the wave

(20:55):
as it's building. And but there'sthere's always something new that's going on.
And when you're in that space whereyou really want to do something or you
really have a passion about doing something, coupling that with whatever is trending,
whatever's going on, whatever operational toolsare needed to achieve your goal, is
going to be the key to success. A lot of businesses die out just

(21:18):
because they have a good product ora good brand, but they're not able
to connect everything like they need tocompete on a modern business playing field.
And that's where I try to getpeople in what the book is. Don't
use my assessment, your assessment.Go study the market, find out the
most competitive tools that are out there, what ther competitors using, and actually
try to physically compete with them.And if you do that and you have

(21:41):
a good product, most of thetimes you'll you'll come out on top or
somewhere somewhere in the middle. Yeah, And you're right, And it's funny
when you talk about Facebook, You'reright. When it first came out,
everybody it's like, oh, thisis something fun, that's something new.
I was terrified by baboo first game. I'm like, I want do this
to take me a long time towant to put my remember that you know

(22:07):
self out there. And I thinkthat I think that was the thing that
I've seen that was so important.And I was like, oh my god.
People are sharing everything and it getsto the point where some people share
too much, right, and thenit no longer becomes a valuable tool.
It People can use it for allthe wrong reasons. So when you start
to talk about it and link itinto the business side of it, it's
you know, it really took atoll on me because I kept thinking,

(22:30):
Okay, how how do I standout differently? Like you're talking about how
would we make this work beneficially asa business. I don't particularly care so
much about the other side of it. Yeah, you know every down in
this cool. Yeah, we'll putsome pictures out. There's a great way
to connect with your family and friends. But I said, there's got to
be something more important to do withthis, and then once it seemed like

(22:51):
everybody figured it out or the algorithmskept changing, it didn't. It was
no longer that the better fix thanof course. You know, now you've
at the Instagrams, you got thewell no longer Twitter x or whatever they
call it. You know, youhave link, you have all these different
resources and these different apps that youare now even being more competitive with when
it comes to your business. Sowhen it comes to the social side of

(23:15):
the apps, you know or thesepeople still don't really understand why it's so
important to utilize as a part ofyour business. I think you're absolutely hit
it on the head that it isa must. It is something that you
need to research. It as thingsthat you have to align with their business
so that you can big thing.I think that people need to understand it's
a bigger and further reach, youknow, further reach for than what you

(23:36):
could do if you're actually sitting infront of somebody, even as well as
sitting here and having this conversation onthe podcast. You know, the podcast.
It's great that you're sharing with yourfriends, but people don't realize that
this podcast is globally so you're reachingmore and more people further out. But
a part of that as well isthe reciprocation. And I think that's the
other tool that people don't understand,is that it's great to have these things,

(23:56):
but you know, who are youreaching to share? Why? Why
do you want people to know?I you know, all those pieces that
come with this. So it's itwas definitely learning process for me. And
you know, the generations today,you know, the way you guys use
it. It's it's just a partof your everyday life, you know,
you know, it's but it's goodthat you're providing that type of resource and
information in your book. Yeah,And and there was no way for me

(24:22):
to know exactly how to take advantageof social media when you know, let's
say I first graduated in high school. I was, you know, still
just as naive as anyone else.But I think I had the mindset that,
Okay, what tools or what experienceswill I need to achieve high level
business success in the future. AndI was thinking that way for maybe my

(24:47):
whole life. But if I ifyou know, if I'm trying to say
okay, if I'm trying to behonest and say, okay, well,
when did I formerly first have thisidea. It was definitely you know,
thirteen fourteen years old. Once Irealized, Okay, I'm in high school,
I'm want to earn a scholarship.What type of scholarship do I want
to earn? And I started lookingat the world through Okay, well,
what you know, what role amI going to play? What is this?

(25:08):
What are what are the kind ofthe the values and the lessons I
need to learn in order to fulfillwhatever role it was? If I was
going to be, you know,the president of the school, then what
does that tell? So I justwent out in search of these types of
things, and the experience that Igot along the way just helps me kind
of build up that that that levelof perseverance that's needed because it's you know,

(25:33):
it's almost like I've I've tried somany different things. I felt a
thousand times before. What's a thousandand one? Uh? You know,
I I'm I'm still alive. I'mstill here still, you know, I'm
still breathing. Uh. And andI think just helping people get past that
initial fear. One of the termsI use is like, you know,
you gotta kind of live in thelight when you want to be an entrepreneur.

(25:56):
I think even when you're talking aboutyour the business plans, you're not
wanting to formalize it or write itdown. Well, I think part of
that is because you know it's gonnasomewhat get criticized and it's not gonna be
exactly what you think is in yourhead, and it's gonna it's gonna feel
better than it looks on the paper. That's part of the process, and
it's not ignoring that, but leaningtowards that and saying no, I want

(26:17):
you guys to evaluate. I needfeedback from not just my friends and family,
but from five thousand people if possible. Right, that is more helpful
for a business mindset because you're gonnalearn and actually improve and be able to
take those specific insights that then nowyou have real knowledge and uh, you
know you have real world tests thatyou've ran. You can take that and
apply it to really change your companyor make some money. Absolutely well,

(26:42):
you know you definitely have been onthe right track, as you know at
thirteen thinking about how can I,you know, be better at this and
you know, what can I doto be this best business person? Your
mindset was absolutely already there. Youwere at your typical thirteen year old.

didn't to be like everybody else toa certain degree, but you had You

(27:02):
were already challenging yourself. You werealready being competitive with yourself, and then
you know, you took that competitivenessand you ran with it every since.
