Viral fitness sensation Robert Richetti opens up about the dark side of internet fame in this deeply personal Dropping Bombs episode. From his Pokemon Go rant that generated 100 million views to nearly passing from ulcerative colitis, Robert reveals the brutal reality behind social media success—the constant pressure for views, the mental exhaustion of being "always on," and why he's walking away from millions of followers to stock shelves and find peace.
But here's the twist: Robert isn't just quitting—he's launching a revolution in the supplement game with Steel Supplements, bringing game-changing energy drinks and healthy sodas to gyms nationwide. Whether you're chasing viral fame or seeking authentic freedom, this conversation will make you question everything about social media, success, and what truly matters. This is your wake-up call to define success on your own terms and protect your mental health above all else.
