Show Notes
I can't believe it's been a year since I had one of my favorite human beings, Bedros Keuilian, on the show, but I'm sure glad he's here today to talk about his new book, Man Up. As the founder of Fit Body Boot Camp, he has overcome so much to get where he is today (check out his incredible story in his first FTLOM episode in Resources).
Today, we're talking about one of Bedros' lower points in life when he was experiencing panic attacks as the result of a failing business. He talks about how he navigated through that process bit by bit and discovered a strategy and mindset that kicked himself into gear – he made the choice to Man Up! Bedros committed to go all in – in all areas of life – in order to fulfill his purpose.
Tune in to hear about some of the steps he took that led him to this discovery, or better yet, grab his book and read about them all!
Question Highlights:
- What is your favorite quote?

- How did you turn your lowest of lows around?
- What moves are you going to make to reach your goal of 34 franchises a month?
- What has changed since your panic attack?
- Are you getting any backlash around your book title and what do you say to those people who say this title isn't for them?
- What is your secondary and equally important message in your book that you're treat to get across?
- Why are you not afraid to be unapologetic about who you are and what your message is?
- What is the one generous thing coming up yet this year that you're excited about?

"When you're suffering in silence, your family is suffering out loud."
"Man up! Stop making excuses, take control of your situation and rise to your potential."
