Bodybuilding Legend Rich Gaspari Talks About His New Documentary 'Gaspari' from Generation Iron Available on VOD November 3, 2023. Bodybuilding Legend Rich Gaspari took the time to talks to us about his new documentary 'Gaspari' from Generation Iron. The son of Italian immigrants, Gaspari understood the definition of hard work having watched his father, who came to the United States with a third grade education, make a better like for him and his siblings. Originally going to school for engineering, Gaspari realized that his father's dream was not his own and went out to forge his own path. Nicknamed, "The Dragon Slayer," Gaspari finished second in the IFBB Mr. Olympia and was the first ever winner of the Arnold Classic. As Gaspari's career ended following a neck injury, which resulted in a only recently going through a new, revolutionary disc replacement, Gaspari pivoted from the world of competition into supplementation with Gaspari Nutrition. Directed award-winning filmmaker, by Frank Zarrillo ('Candyman's Gold', 'The Wrestler: A Q.T. Marshall Story', 'Gaspari' follows the life of a man who transcended not only the sport of bodybuilding but the world of fitness as a whole, remaining relevant in a world of, here-today-gone-tomorrow sports heroes, continuing to reinvent himself from athlete to entrepreneur. You can find 'Gaspari' through Generation Iron's original documentary page at  https://generationiron.com/watch-gaspari-movie/.

In this HIGHLY anticipated episode, I welcome in my friend Dr. Sarah Summers for my FIRST ever IN PERSON interview on the Platform Podcast.

"True strength is about your ability to be courageous looking at yourself & to love in the moment." In this episode, I got to go deep with Brittany van Schravendjik who anyone in the kettlebell sport world knows by name because her resume of accomplishment is as distinguished as nearly any American lifter. But we didn't record this episode to focus on what she accomplished in kettlebell sport, but instead why she decided she had to STOP lifting and walk away from the thing she was most well known for. This was such an insightful and fun conversation about where the drive for achievement can come from, the double edged-sword of external validation, and the hard work of exploring the dark corners of our own psyches.

This is the 50TH EPISODE of the Platform Podcast, and I am so grateful to have made it this far. In this fourth installment of the kettlebell fat blast bonus episodes about my own journey to get in the best shape of my life, I dig into the conundrum of balancing aggressive behaviors you can only be consistent with for short periods with the long term needs of sustainability. This is particularly interesting for me as I reflect on what stressors and history I came into this year with and how that has affected my progress thus far this year.

Much has happened since then, but Bruce's new nootropic ingredient is still not on the market as of right now, as he still awaits the US Patent and Trademark Office. In February of 2018, the legendary Bruce Kneller came to Texas to visit and share some major news. After several years with Giant Sports, he announced that he was no longer with them. We got to hear Bruce's stories from not only Giant Sports, but also some crazy times at Gaspari Nutrition. But on top of that, Bruce introduced us to his new nootropic, which was a fantastic experience. We then got into the hot topics of Kratom, CBD, Tianeptine, and Research Chemicals. Even better, industry consultant Josh Schall joined us to discuss marketing to millennials and the future of GNC.

Rich Gaspari's father encouraged him to do whatever it took to become the best that he could be. "If you work hard, you'll succeed" was something the Italian immigrant always told the young, impressionable Gaspari growing up. The IFBB Hall of Fame Bodybuilder's life so far has been massively successful by carrying out his father's instructions--and I would not bet against it being filled with even more amazing achievements from this point forward.
