The Million Dollar Creatine Brand, Getting Back to the Basics, and Making 2024 Your Healthiest Year Yet
Welcome to the Meat Mafia Newsletter...the future #1 Newsletter in the world of Health & Wellness
Alright, first and foremost welcome to the Meat Mafia Newsletter.
If you’re committed to getting healthier, you’re in the right spot.
Quick Updates:
New Podcast Released: We sat down with Dan McCormick, the founder of Create Creatine Gummies. These guys have been utterly RIPPING IT UP this year. I am talking parabolic growth and Navy Seal-style execution. Dan has been working on Create for a year now, and the company is doing just about $1m PER MONTH. INSANE. Well, the cool thing about Dan is that he’s a total open book. He essentially opens up his business-building journey and shares all of his financials & pain points of growing the business. The most impressive part about Create is that Dan is more or less a one-man show. He’s outsourced critical roles to agencies, and he spends his time cranking on the day-to-day vision. If you are thinking about launching an e-commerce brand in the future, please check this one out before you do.
Getting Back to the Basics: I don’t know about you guys, but I have this feeling that 2024 is going to be a momentous year. I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of just getting back to the basics recently, especially when it comes to health. What does this look like? I am entering 2024 ruthlessly protecting my sleep. I had a podcast conversation with my buddy Kyle Lasota not too long ago and he said something that really stuck with me - if you can’t fall asleep at the same time and wake up at the same time then how are you going to ever be successful. His words forced me to reflect on my own sleep habits and how they had been negatively affecting my life. I took an audit of all the things that were “wrong” with my sleep habits and, man, I realized I needed to make some changes. No more phone in the bedroom, no more inconsistent bedtime, no more eating within the 3-hour window before bed, no more doom scrolling first thing in the AM, no more not getting sunlight first thing, no more caffeine, and no more nicotine. These changes became the most important thing in my life for the last 3 months, and I am feeling better than I ever have. This is my challenge to you (and myself). Let’s find something else to get back to the basics in 2024. For me, that next frontier is running. I’ve spent so much time oscillating between building a great running foundation and then either getting distracted with other pursuits or just not pushing myself hard enough. I’ll expand more on this in future newsletters, but now my challenge to you is what are you getting back to the basics on?
Our goal is to educate, entertain, & empower you to become limitless in life…
We believe that a hierarchy exists. That if you want to live an incredible life, being healthy is the first-order principle you need to prioritize. It can dramatically enhance or detract from every other area of your life: your finances, family life, friendships, faith, hobbies & your relationship with yourself. So, that’s where we focus our time and attention: making you the healthiest version of yourself so you can feel energized to go start that business, so you can show up for your friends and family, and so you can lead others to a happier more fruitful life. If I were just coming across our content, this is where I’d start:
