Deciding to skip business school to start a gym in 2013 changed my life forever. 

Here’s what happened next: 

2013: Launched United Fitness in Huntington Beach, CA, and grew to 6 locations

2016: Founded Gym Launch and switched from privately owning gyms to doing in-person turnarounds

2017: We transitioned from in-person turnarounds to a licensing business and helped over 4500+ facilities transform their businesses.

2019: Our supplement company, Prestige Labs, launched to help those gyms create another profit center and provide their customers with high-quality nutritional products.

2020: Started ALAN, a software company that helps brick-and-mortar businesses get twice as many people in the door on average for one-third the price of a front desk admin.

2020: Founded Acquisition.com, to invest in and help grow companies. Made our first 3 investments.

2021: We sold our majority shares of ALAN to a strategic partner and a 66% stake in Gym Launch and Prestige Labs to American Pacific Group.

It’s been a ride.

Today, through Acquisition.com we participate as minority or majority partners and use the same models that helped scale each of our companies.

I will die on this hill...

Friends should be willing to pay to support a friend's business rather than asking for a discount.

Everyone could use more support. Don't ask for a discount, buy their product, and leave a positive review. 

Real friends don't ask for "friends and family discounts" - agree?

If you can be in a bad mood for no reason... 


You might as well be in a good mood for no reason. 


Being easy to work with and being in a good mood is such an underrated skill that employees/managers/leaders don't think about enough.

You don't need a mentor.
What you need instead is to:


1. Fire yourself up.
2. Create your own deadlines.
3. Hold yourself accountable.
4. Do more than anyone asked you to make yourself proud.
5. If you're waiting for someone to believe in you, start with yourself.

People underestimate how much brute force you have to use to will your goals into existence.

Reality and perspective check.

 
Also... the platforms you get 300 views on are free.


You don't need millions of views. You need the right views aka the right customers.

Everything that was once hard.
With enough repetition.
Becomes boring.

You feel behind because you’re in a rush. 
You’re in a rush because you feel behind. 
You feel behind because you're in a different season than the people you're comparing yourself to. 

You're not behind. 
You're just early.
You're on your own timeline.

Beating 99% of people is simple but not easy.



1. Show up early. 
2. Prepare the day before. 
3. Remember everyone's name. 
4. Say no to opportunities that don't bring value. 
5. Follow up quickly. 
6. Follow up multiple times. 
7. Deliver value at every interaction. 
8. Never make the same mistake twice. 



It's all about doing the basics at scale consistently that makes you advanced. There is no magic potion.

Hard times don't last forever.
There are only three outcomes.


1. You quit
2. It gets easier
3. You get better


But no matter what, they end. Life is just hard, sometimes. 


You have tough seasons. Bad losses. 


And what makes it harder is you don’t know when it’ll end.


But know - it will end.


For anyone going through it right now... 


You do the only thing you can do, keep fighting.

The difference between $100,000 a day vs $100,000 a year. 
It is simpler than you think. 

People who make six figures a day are willing to: 

1. Look stupid no matter what anyone else thinks. 
2. Take risks that not many are willing to take. 
3. Outreach and ask an unlimited amount of people to get what they want. 

I'm convinced that the first principle of building wealth is disregarding the opinions of others who don't have "it" but telling you that you're doing it wrong. The difference is simple, not easy.

Your 9 to 5 is not killing your dreams. 
You wasting your 5 to 9 is. 

Best job to have when going after your dreams is the one where you get 129 days a year off to pursue your dreams with full-time pay. Oh yeah, that’s every 9-5 job. Analyze every minute of your life outside of your 9-5 and see where your energy is going. THAT will determine and show you how much your actions are matching your aspirations.

your 9 to 5

Richer people won't judge you for saving your money.
Fitter people won't judge you for cutting your calories. 
Higher-status people won't judge you for being obsessed over your goals. 

It's the people who are going nowhere who have the most to say because they have nothing to do. Never let unaccomplished people, judge your accomplishments.

People fail because they want a dream girl without going on 100 bad dates. 


People fail because they want a dream customer without 100 bad leads. 


People fail because they want a dream body without 100 bad workouts. 


If necessity is the mother of invention, repetition is the father of results. 


- Alex ✊🏽

Anyone can get rich…


As long as you’re willing to make no money for a long period of time while you work to get good enough to get rich fast.

There is only one thing in life that is 100x worse than your enemies. 


By far, bad friends are 100x more dangerous than enemies. Not even close. 


It's better to be alone than to be around people who secretly hope you fail.

Decisions that can change your life:



1. Sticking to anything daily for an entire year
2. Moving cities
3. Upgrading romantic partners
4. Eliminating drinking & drugs
5. Saying no to *shiny objects*
6. Going to bed at 9pm daily



If you don't like where you're at, try one.
Life can change fast. Change is scary. But so is regret.
The life you live depends on the one you fear more.

One year from now you won't remember:  



Who got the fanciest car. 
How good your junk food was. 
Who won the football game. 
What you talked about at the club. 

But you will remember what it was like to not hit your goals... again.

Research leader @ Mayo Clinic | Follow me for insights on habits, productivity, and self-actualization | On a mission to normalize health

70% of American adults are overweight or obese. 
40% of cancers are preventable. 
72% of adults report health impacts due to stress.

I've worked with 300+ cancer patients as a health and wellness coach at the Mayo Clinic. 
And I've noticed a few things during this time:

-No one wants to be unhealthy
-Medications and procedures can keep you alive
-But it's lifestyle change that will help you build resilient health

And there's an unfortunate misconception out there that health is difficult to build. 
That "exercise" = self-imposed suffering
That "healthy foods" = kale smoothies
That joint pain is normal. 

But if you've got a demanding professional life, you need to implement low-friction habits and routines to preserve your health. 90 minutes at the gym 5x/week is not an option. 

This is the stuff I help people with. 
Simple health that will last a lifetime. 
So you can back to  your mission. 

Over the course of 12 weeks, we’ll develop habits and routines that will help you lose the weight, dissolve the stress, and reclaim your health. 
Should we talk?
DM me. 

About me

I’m a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Zambia) and Mayo Clinic-certified health and wellness coach.

I’m the author of the twice-weekly email newsletter 66.1 (66point1.com), which merges science and common sense to help you live healthier, for longer.

Marcus Frick

Talked with a gentleman the other day. 96 years old. #1 Rotarian in his state 3 years running. Still works full-time selling insurance. He’s got heart disease, cancer, bad knees. Daughter says, “Dad, you’ve got to slow down or you’re going to die!” He says, “I've got to keep going or I’m going to die!” 

So far, he’s right. 
Doesn’t it make you wonder…

If retirement is overrated?
How many lives he's touched over the course of a 74 year career?
If longevity is correlated with how often you make other people smile?

Building healthy founders, people, and companies

Had a "New Year's Resolution" conversation today. 
Raised a few questions. 

If you're...

Overweight.
Stressed out.
Struggling to sleep.

And looking at the calendar, deciding what kind of resolution you want to make come the New Year.
Wondering if, before the New Year, the holidays are just going to make all these problems even worse...

Is there anything you could do today to set yourself up for success come January 1?
Does improving your life have to wait until the calendar reads "2026"?

Care to have a conversation? 
I'm crowdsourcing some wisdom gathering.
5 minute interview on 1-3 things you can do in the final 6 weeks of 2025 to make sure you hit the ground running in 2026. 
Send a DM and we'll find a time. 

Or maybe you'd prefer to share your thoughts in the comments?

Overdid it on Thanksgiving stuffing?

7 ways to lose 1 pound this week: 

1. Walk additional 7000 steps/day
2. Skip dessert every day for the next week
3. Don’t eat for 1 whole day (ask your doctor)
4. Don’t drink anything for 1 whole day (not recommended!)
5. Replace Coke with Olipop
6. Replace 2 beers after work with a walk
7. Turn every “touchpoint” into a walking meeting

Is there one in here that might work for you?
Or something that didn’t make the list that might be your ticket to 1 pound?

Doctor (or spouse?!) told you you’d do well to lose a pound this week?
Send a DM.

Rules, rules, rules!
Yuck.

Sleep 8 hours/night. 

But why, then, are there nights when you sleep for 5 hours and feel great?
Or others when you sleep for 9 hours and feel like you got hit by a train?

Drink 3 Liters of water/day. 

But what if you’re not thirsty?
Why would you drink water if you’re not thirsty?
If you’re eating a whole foods diet, do you need to drink the same amount of water as if you were eating a diet full of processed foods?

Eat 2,000 calories per day. 

What if you’re a super athlete?
What if you have a sedentary job?
Spent the day traveling?
What foods should make up these 2,000 calories anyway?

Who makes these rules?
Are they working?

Want to figure out what works for you?
DMs are open.

Talked to a CEO + founder client this afternoon. He called to say thanks. His people are losing weight, more productive, happier, less stressed. 

I reminded him that he’s the one who connected his people with their health guy. And he’s good at picking high-potential people. 

His sales guy was expecting to have a down quarter (“Q4 is always slow”). He’s on track to have his second-best month in the 5 years he’s been at the company. What happened?

“I’ve got more energy so I’ve been reaching out to prospects more.”
 
I asked the founder why he invested in this kind of support for his people. What sort of ROI was he hoping to see?

His answer, “Not really worried about ROI. Not everyone has access to this kind of thing and I figured it could help them.”

Can doing the right thing for your people really help your bottom line???

Client texted today to cancel this afternoon’s call. She’s sick, Thanksgiving is coming, the works. 

No sweat. Same day + time next week? 

Yep. 

I went to change the calendar invite immediately. 
Client had already sent a new invitation with updated day and time. 

What if we all operated like this client?
Wouldn’t the world be a better place?

Drinking coffee, reading 4,000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman. There's some stuff in the epilogue about self-help. 

The question, "If telling someone what to do was enough, wouldn't we know it already?" came up. 

Reminded me of a friend who sent a DM a couple weeks ago. Said something like, "I know you charge for this stuff, but maybe you can share a few free tips with a friend? Please? I need to lose weight." 

4,000 weeks. This guy is in his early 30s. 30x52 = 1560 weeks gone, 40% of life is in the rearview. 

Doesn't it make you wonder?

Is another podcast episode, another free tip going to get you from where you are to where you want to be? 
How long has it been this way? 
How long are you going to tolerate it?

3 things I heard this week: 

-"I'm walking 12,000 steps/day."
-"My clothes aren't so tight anymore!"
-"My girlfriend told me she's proud of the progress I'm making."

You have the support you need to get where you want to go?
Going to lone wolf it? 
Got a plan?

Say you lose 10 pounds by 12/31/2025...who's the first person to notice?
