In today's episode of the Man Within Podcast, I sit down with Adam Schafer, co-founder of the Mind Pump Podcast — one of the most popular fitness podcasts in the world — to unpack his wild journey from mowing lawns as a broke teenager to building a multimillion-dollar fitness empire. If you know the Mind Pump Show, you know the impact Adam, Sal, Justin, and Doug have made in the health and wellness space. But in this conversation, you'll hear the behind-the-scenes story — the risks, the failures, the shady business deals, the turning point with marijuana clubs, and how one simple podcast idea exploded into a global brand.
When Adam Schafer launched Mind Pump, the fitness space on social media was flooded with fake success and viral fame. But he chose loyalty over hype by helping a few people deeply, replying to every DM, and turning down quick brand deals to protect his audience's trust. That approach built Mind Pump into a multi-million-dollar business, with brands now lining up to work with them. In this episode, Adam shares his top social media marketing tips for entrepreneurs and content creators, why organic sales win, and how putting your audience first drives lasting business growth. In this episode, Hala and Adam will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (01:00) The Power of Authentic Marketing (02:12) Building Loyalty on Social Media (05:29) Why Organic Sales Beat Paid Ads (08:49) Scaling by Listening to Customers (11:54) Email vs. Social Media Marketing (15:39) Tailoring Content for Every Platform (19:14) Surviving YouTube's Tough Audience (21:20) Online Growth Strategies for Entrepreneurs (25:03) Why Mind Pump Refused Sponsors at First (28:13) Building Trust and Value in Advertising (32:11) Protecting Your Brand in Online Marketing (35:18) Boosting Productivity with Fitness Adam Schafer is the co-founder of Mind Pump Media, a multi-million-dollar fitness brand and podcast. Growing up with childhood trauma, including the loss of his biological father to suicide, Adam developed resilience and leadership early on. Starting with a lawn-mowing business and later working as a fitness trainer, he co-founded Mind Pump, growing it into one of the top fitness podcasts and companies from the ground up.

Adam Schafer's childhood was marked by poverty, the tragic loss of his father, and the presence of an abusive stepfather. At just 15 years old, he became an entrepreneur, mowing lawns to afford the life he wanted. By 21, he was already leading a team of fitness trainers despite having less experience. Years later, he co-founded Mind Pump Media, transforming it from a side project into a multi-million-dollar business. In this episode, Adam shares how childhood adversity built his growth mindset and how rejecting a victim mentality fueled Mind Pump's organic growth and unstoppable success.

What does it really take to build a successful business and balanced life? In this episode of the Habits and Hustle Podcast, I am joined by Mind Pump's Adam Schafer to discuss this very thing. We discuss Adam's challenging upbringing, including his father's suicide, an abusive stepfather, and the importance of allowing children to struggle and learn from challenges, rather than solving all their problems, even going as far as "manufacturing adversity" to help build character in privileged children. We also dive into a wide range of topics such as self-awareness in relationships, building sustainable, profitable businesses rather than chasing vanity metrics or venture capital funding, investing in yourself and your own growth, the potential negative impacts of social media, especially on younger generations, and much more.

Some of you might not know this, but The Higher Standard podcast wouldn't be here if it were not for Mind Pump's Adam Schafer. Chris and Saied were long time fans of Mind Pump, the #1 fitness podcast in the world. Adam and Chris formed a friendship over time and the idea to create The Higher Standard in a model after Mind Pump was born. You may even note the homage to the Mind Pump studio in The Higher Standard's aesthetic. ➡️ It has been a while since Adam Schafer and Chris had an opportunity to sit down in front of a hot mic and talk about life. It's been nearly 10 years since Mind Pump started and a lot has changed. Adam is thinking a lot about the next chapter of his business and his life. The boy talk about cars, watches, the evolution of business, why being an "influencer" is a bad idea and so much more.

We also discuss the three things you must track to lose body fat, why eliminating things from your diet when losing weight can be problematic, how to effectively measure progress without using a scale, why vanity and aesthetics is a massive health trap, the biggest fat loss mistakes people make, why some of the most ripped people are often the most broken, things you should switch up in the gym to maximize gains and more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

Today's guest is a dream come true and we can't wait for you to hear this conversation... Sal Di Stefano started as a professional in the fitness industry as a trainer at the age of 18. His passion for fitness combined with his love of people quickly propelled him into big box gym management by the time he was 19 years old. During his career in gym management he grand opened some of the largest gyms in the California Bay Area and was often recognized as a top performer in sales, production and team leadership earning him accolades from top industry leaders. After decades of running his studio he met Doug the current producer of Mind Pump and shortly after he met Adam Schafer and Justin Andrews. They quickly hit it off due to their different backgrounds but similar approaches to fitness and health and they decided to start a fitness and health podcast. Mind Pump was launched and quickly became the number one fitness and health podcast in the world. Currently Sal is one of the most sought after experts in fitness and health with his effective, grounded and easy to understand style of communication. He has been on hundreds of top podcast shows and frequently speaks at trainer and health practitioner events. His passion for fitness, health and people is unmatched and he is steadfast with his goal of making the fitness industry one that is a force for good, with long term health being the focus and not one that is riddled with diet pills, crash diets and false promises. Sal does a really incredible job of sharing the raw truths of how to build a lean, toned body with science and facts, but in a way that is also digestible and not intimidating for beginners, which is why we are so excited to have him on the podcast live with us today.

During his career in gym management he grand opened some of the largest gyms in the California Bay Area and was often recognized as a top performer in sales, production and team leadership earning him accolades from top industry leaders. At the age of 24 he left the commercial gym industry to open his own fitness and wellness studio after he became dissatisfied with the big box gym approach to health and fitness. He wanted to bring a wellness based well rounded approach to people. In his small studio facility he brought in hormone and nutrition specialists, acupuncturists, gut health professionals and meditative/body work providers along with fitness trainers.This well rounded environment formed the voice that's Sal is often currently lauded for. It was during his time in his wellness studio that he figured out how to solve the hardest and most persistent problems with fitness, health and wellness. His approach led to long term success with his clients and he developed a behavioral focused approach towards health and fitness. After a decade of running his studio he met Doug Egge the current producer of Mind Pump and shortly after he met Adam Schafer and Justin Andrews. They quickly hit it off due to their different backgrounds but similar approaches to fitness and health and they decided to start a fitness and health podcast. Mind Pump was launched and quickly became the number one fitness and health podcast in the world.

A quote that Sal is often credited for summarizes his approach to fitness and health. “Exercise and eat right because you love your body, not because you hate your body.”

(39:32) Fitness and epigenetics. (43:57) The importance of 3rd party testing with your favorite protein powder. (46:22) Everything is amplified today. (47:57) Why are electric vehicles piling up? (53:26) Shout out to Brandon Harris. (55:50) Hiya is an excellent multivitamin for kids. (56:14) #Quah question #1 - From watching YouTube Mind Pump clips and Squat University, I realized a wider stance with toes pointed outwards substantially adds depth to my squat. How can I tell if I'm masking ankle/hip mobility issues or if it's just my anatomy? (58:05) #Quah question #2 - How does a supinated, pronated, and neutral grip change or affect an exercise? (1:02:01) #Quah question #3 - I am someone who can't connect to their glute muscles very well when I squat so would it be better to go lighter on the movement and work on the mind-to-muscle connection or just continue to go heavy? Will I still see gains if I drop the weight? (1:08:20) #Quah question #4 - In a recent episode, you guys mentioned avoiding processed foods as in anything in a wrapper or package. Does this mean that while eating a whole-food diet we would need to avoid Cheese!?

SO grateful for this podcast episode interview with Adam Schafer IFBB Pro, but most importantly he is one of the co-hosts of Mind Pump Podcast with Sal Di Stefano, Justin Andrews and Doug Egge. Their health and fitness podcast is HUGE and covers so many health and fitness topics you'll need to go check them out. Today's interview was a little selfish as I wanted to pick his brain on business and podcasting! Heres more about Adam: Adam had a lot of adversity to overcome as a child. He lost his father to suicide at the age of seven and bounced around to nine different homes by the time he was seventeen. Adam was bullied in school which ultimately led to him being home-schooled. In the midst of his childhood turmoil one constant in Adam's life was his love for sports. He was a natural athlete who loved snowboarding, water skiing, basketball and anything else sports related. Adam's love for sports led him down the path of learning about fitness and nutrition. Adam got started with his career in fitness in 2001. His first entrepreneurial venture was as a child of ten so it seemed natural for Adam to become an entrepreneur in fitness. As a part of his ongoing quest to learn and grow in his career Adam has obtained certifications from top fitness training institutions including the International Fitness Professionals Association, the National Academy of Sports Medicine, the National Council on Strength and Fitness, and the National Exercise and Sports Trainers Association. Adam also prioritizes his own fitness and worked diligently to become an IFBB Men's Physique Pro which allows him to compete as a professional bodybuilder. Early in his career Adam discovered that he loved to train and teach others. He has worked with over 1000 people as a trainer and fitness expert and deeply values the lessons he has learned from clients. In addition to training clients one-on-one Adam has also led boot camps, provided nutrition consulting, and helped other trainers improve their sales and leadership skills. Adam has found a way to train and teach even more people through Mind Pump. Adam found that combining his passion and expertise with that of Sal, Justin, and Doug gives him the opportunity to make a big impact on the fitness industry. He hopes to change it for the better and bridge the gap between wellness and performance. Through Mind Pump, Adam wants to offer a media outlet that provides fitness and health education in the most entertaining way possible.

HVMN Podcast: Evidence-based Nutrition, Fitness, & Biohacking
Sal started as a professional in the fitness industry as a trainer at the age of 18. His passion for fitness, combined with his love of people, quickly propelled him into big box gym management by the time he was 19 years old. During his career in gym management, he grand opened some of the largest gyms in the California Bay Area and was often recognized as a top performer in sales, production, and team leadership, earning him accolades from top industry leaders. At the age of 24, he left the commercial gym industry to open his own fitness and wellness studio after he became dissatisfied with the big-box gym approach to health and fitness. He wanted to bring a wellness-based well, rounded approach to people. In his small studio facility, he brought in hormone and nutrition specialists, acupuncturists, gut health professionals, and meditative/bodywork providers, along with fitness trainers. This well-rounded environment formed the voice that Sal is often currently lauded for. It was during his time in his wellness studio that he figured out how to solve the hardest and most persistent problems with fitness, health, and wellness. His approach led to long-term success with his clients, and he developed a behavioral-focused approach toward health and fitness. After a decade of running his studio, he met Doug Egge, the current producer of Mind Pump, and shortly after, he met Adam Schafer and Justin Andrews. They quickly hit it off due to their different backgrounds but similar approaches to fitness and health, and they decided to start a fitness and health podcast. Mind Pump was launched and quickly became the number-one fitness and health podcast in the world. Find out more about Sal at https://www.mindpumpmedia.com/ and @mindpumpmedia on social media. Key point topics and studies mentioned: 1. Theoretical and practical side of resistance training 2. What is the MAPS fitness program 3. How important is tracking calories and his thoughts on the "calories in, calories out" notion 4. Sal's advice for people to break plateaus in training 5. Fasted vs. Fed workouts 6.

I've got a really great episode for you guys today. Our guest is Adam Schafer from Mind Pump. I got a ton of really great feedback from you guys when I had Sal on the show, so I wanted to get Adam on here for you guys as well. We talk about a lot of things in this episode. Adam is a father, so we talk about how to set an example when it comes to health, food, and nutrition for your kids. We talk about Adam's background and how Mind Pump grew. We talk about how to be educated, but not get stuck in a camp of "I can only eat this way" or "I can only train this way." We get into so much and it's all so good.

I've had the pleasure of meeting and hearing Adam speak twice at a couple of coaching conferences I've attended. I really enjoyed this interview and I know you will as well! In the episode, we chatted about: - His upbringing and how he got into the fitness space. - How he was able to work up the ladder in his career and entrepreneurship life. - The importance of getting outside of your comfort zone and what kind of growth it can provide. - How he transitioned into MindPump. - His own pursuit for improving his health, documenting it along the way, growing his following. - Learning to embrace failure and learn from it. - The mindset comparison of body building vs. losing a lot of weight. - Understanding bodyweight fluctuations - Improving your relationship with food and exercise. - Plus touching a little bit on reverse dieting. - Instead of focusing on cutting out certain foods, Adam shares what you should focus on instead.

Mind Pump is my favorite podcast. If you're not familiar, these guys bill themselves as the world's #1 fitness, health, and entertainment podcast. They have three hosts – Sal, Justin, and Adam – and they cover a wide variety of topics on their show from current events, their personal lives, and of course health and fitness. I love their grounded, no BS fitness advice. I've had Sal on this show in the past, and today we have Adam on to talk to us about how to prepare for your first body building show. Now I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that most of you – like me - are not currently considering preparing for a body building show. So why listen to this show? I think there are four reasons why you'll love this episode. Number one, maybe your bodybuilder curious. Have you ever wondered what it takes to transform your body in such a radical way? Number two, there is a TON of useful information in this episode that us regular gym-goers can take away and apply to our health and wellness journeys. Number three, maybe you have no intention whatsoever of competing in a bodybuilding competition, but you'd like to train like a bodybuilder and see just how far you can transform your body. And the fourth and final reason is that maybe – just maybe – this episode will light a spark in you. That after this episode is over a seed will be planted, and you'll find yourself audacious enough to toy with the idea of stepping onto a bodybuilding stage for the first time in your life. My guest today is Adam Schafer. Adam is an IFBB pro bodybuilder, a founding member of Mind Pump Media, and a co-host on the Mind Pump podcast. Join us today as Adam shares his personal fitness journey, tells us why you might – and might not – want to consider competing in your first bodybuilding show. And along the way he'll give us tons of practical tips for getting into the absolute best shape of our lives.

This is a special re-broadcast of an interview that I did on The Mind Pump Podcast with Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer, Justin Andrews, and Doug Egge: Some of the topics today include: Taking advantage of being hedonistic. The greatest gift he received from his father. Fatherhood is the craziest growth experience. Navigating raising a child with parents with different childhoods. The misconceptions surrounding free/home birth, and the weaknesses in the western medicine healthcare model. When a movement becomes a zealot or dogma, it's usually time to let go of it. “I know that I am wise because I know nothing.” Fighting against social contagion. “If I can breathe, I can choose.” Don't poke the bear when it comes to our freedoms.

Sales is often looked at as the dirty five letter word in the helping professions, but the reality is, failing to sell your services to consumers means you don't have a business, and you won't be helping anyone. The ability to sell effectively need not be viewed as using tactics or strategies to deceive or coerce your perspective client. Quite the contrary, an effective sales person (in any field, but especially the fitness and wellness industry) needs to be able to build value and meet the consumers deeply held desires and needs. That's exactly the framework we'll explore in episode 29 with Adam Schafer, a long-time fitness industry veteran and one of the co-founders of Mind Pump Media, the largest fitness podcast in circulation. Adam has a unique view of the fitness ecosystem as he has experience in so many different facets of our field. From commercial health clubs to virtual training and everywhere in between, Adam's global view of the industry provides him invaluable practical knowledge that can assist fitness and wellness professionals in honing their value-based sales skills. In this discussion you'll hear Adam touch on several actionable steps fitness and wellness professionals can take, starting today, to build more value for their prospective clients and grow a thriving business. I'd highly encourage you to listen keenly to Adam's insights and begin implementing them immediately. These are not hard skills to master once you commit to the framework Adam is suggesting. However, they are skills, and skills do take time to master. There is no time but the present to begin.
