If you want to pump your body and expand your mind, there's only one place to go. MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, with your hosts. Salda Stefano, Adam Schaefer, and Justin Andrews. I have something that we, I, you know, fuck it. Let's just do this on air. I was going to talk about this, which is you guys, but let's... Don't tell everybody about our relationship, man. No, no, no, no, no. I'm serious right now.

I'm doing dirty laundry. You and I did a personal video just the other day. And we posted on our Facebook forum. And so, grander, we've been, we've been working on putting together this whole mastermind group and creating this cool forum, that a lot. And we've, we've always had this, this Facebook forum. It's been going since day one of the mine putt forum and we've built this unbelievable community and now we're trying to transfer that move that into. Well, we got to tell them what

the goal was because the goal was and again in in in the spirit of always being extremely transparent to our audience, we're looking at ways to monetize our business. Obviously, this is a business, as much as we love doing it. And one of our ideas was to create a mastermind forum where people pay a monthly fee, and then they get access to us, and to the other community,

and people can help each other out, and they can modify the workouts, and nutrition, and just kind of create this community. Well, we've been working on that, the meantime, we've already, we already have a forum that's on Facebook, it's a private group. And we've had that since we sold our first program last year and we did it to help these people through their programs and it's built into this juggernaut. Amazing community.

Like, you know, we have a huge percentage of the people on there are personal trainers. They're constantly sharing, excuse me, you know, articles on fitness nutrition, challenging things. They're modifying their maps workouts. They're encouraging each other. Oh, sure. Oh, sharing studies. They're doing their, they're showing their form and then having us correct it on there.

I mean, there's not just us. Someone just did it right now in between episodes posted a video of himself doing deadlifts and said, hey, I need help with my form. He tagged me. I went on there, five other form members that already answered and they're all really good answers. Like I looked at the answers to make sure that they were giving accurate advice.

All fucking good. So it's an amazing, it's an amazing group. And we were talking about how we wanted to move everybody over to this new form and create this new thing. And it wasn't looking as good and we were talking about how we wanted to move everybody over to this new form and create this new thing and it wasn't looking as good and we like it and so we're going to scratch it. We're going to scratch it. We're going to keep, we're going to pay $200 a month for a food or something that we can't

even use. Yeah, we're going to scratch it. We built it and we just poured dug. I know, dug straight. I know, dug know Doug's radio. Doug's a fun guy. Yeah, I know, Doug's hustle. And then, there's Haja. Yeah. Well, I mean, here's the thing. No, we got this great, you know, that people need to realize that too.

This is entrepreneurship. And it's finest. Yeah, right. We're building the parachutes, though. That's it. And you got to do what's best for business and what's best for business is what's best for our customers and our listeners. And so this forum, this group, this private group on Facebook,

is amazing. I'm on the thing all fucking day long, not because I have to because it's work, because I freaking love it. Like I have a great time. It's addictive. Well, I know people share studies with you. And I mean, it's definitely,

it's hard not to be on it, right? So we're gonna keep, so we're gonna do it. We're gonna keep it. We're gonna keep it that way. And we're gonna do. We're gonna keep it. We're gonna keep it that way. And we had initially said was we're gonna stop letting people in that group because then we're gonna have the pay group. The people that went into the original forum will get grandfathered in because of the OGs.

So they don't pay anything and we love you and they never will. But here's what we decided to do. We're gonna keep the forum and the group where it is. It's no longer, it isn't free, but you're gonna only pay a small fee and it's lifetime So you pay a fee you get on their once and then you're on this forum and you can ask me questions just some questions Adam questions Other trainers on their questions you can post progress. I mean, it's it's it became it's on Emble pump con

Yes No, I I'm just so I'm so glad that we all agree on this because it was it's been killing me dude. It has been killing me to watch such a cool thing get built on on Facebook and then as much as I wanted us to transfer and start making you know, you know, residual income every single month and you know and produce this new cool product that we thought would be way cooler. But after looking at it and using it.

Today broke, don't fix it. Yeah, no. I just don't, the whole message and the whole purpose of mind pump when we first started is we wanted to call out all this bullshit and fitness. And then we also, like Sal said, at one point, the business has to monetize, right? We have to find a way to pay for everything

and the time and everything that we do in here. So, you know, we have to think about that. We can't be idiots. But at the same time too, it meant so much to each one of us to say, okay, how do I take the quality of service that we all have, we pride ourselves in as far as trainers? How do I take that and give that to people for such a tiny, like a number that is like,

you would be stupid not to and you would feel that way. And anyone you ever talked to that would feel a part of it would be like, you're kidding me, you mean tell me you don't get any help from Sal or Justin? Like those guys are like fucking brilliant and for literally for nothing, you can be connected to them, you have all their programming, you can listen to their show,

they do all this stuff that you would feel like, I don't ever need to go anywhere else for any help with my body. You know, like that's... I've probably heard at least, God, at least a dozen times recently, where people will go on the forum and say the price of, because the way the forum worked before

is if you enrolled in one of our programs, you got free access to the forum. And people would be like, oh, that was, the forum alone is worth access to the forum. And people would be like, oh, that was, the forum alone is worth, is way, is worth more than the program. They love the program, they love it, but the price was worth the forum, they said. They love it that much.

That's the kind of information they get from it. So it's pretty, it's a pretty awesome, it's like the inner circle. Basically, that's a reflection of our show. Right. Everybody has the same drives and focus and a lot of people do have like a really solid fitness background and they have a lot of great things to contribute.

And so it's just, it's a lot more powerful than us just sitting here just throwing out a bunch of facts to you guys, listeners. Well, we've got people in there. We've got people in science and medicine on there. Yeah. We'll throw things in. We've got people.

There are a bunch of, I mean, in a sense, they're all a piece of us. Yeah. Right. There, I mean, there's everything from competitors on there to personal trainers on there to the science nerdy guys on there. Power lifters. Yeah. Power lifters on there. I mean, it's like, we have a beautiful mix of all of what we talk

about and all of what we kind of represent as far as our own philosophies and ways of training. So I think it's pretty neat to see that. And I think there's a little bit for everybody. I eventually see it growing to a point where we even kind of have multiple ones that they can get. We have to because it'll get too big. Yeah, we'll have to figure out a way to do that.

Because that's the other reason we shut it down to keep the intimacy with it a long time ago. But I really feel like we're robbing a lot of people that could benefit from that. It's not like they go on there and we interact with them, but they interact with each other much more. It's really about the community that's built and how everybody's kind of helping each other.

And it's pretty awesome. It's something for me personally, when I look at it, I think to myself that that's, I can't help but think that that's kind of the future of how fitness is going to be handled by getting groups of people together sharing ideas. Collective minds, yeah. Collective minds. Yeah, it's like a wealth or a well that you keep digging into.

Now, it's coming back. And for us, we have such, for people who are on that forum because we talked to them all the time, they're special to us. So any time, and you listeners need to know this, when we release a product, they see it first. When we do an announcement, they hear it before anybody else. We tell them literally days before, this is what's going to happen, this is what we're going to do.

They get discounts on all of our products. And when we come out with like, maps, performance, they got a discount of price because they're on the forum. So we want to offer that forum now to anybody and you don't have to buy a program. You probably would want to buy a program but you don't have to. You could just pay for access to the forum

and ask questions and ask us questions and ask the community questions. And are we gonna do a one time thing? Or are we? Right, one time and when we decided we'll make a super sheep. Like one time and it's it, you pay one fee fee and that's it you're on there for life. Yeah, and I can guarantee you the price will change later on because there's no way we'll be able to manage a Closed group with you know 15,000 people

But right now 27 bucks you pay 27 bucks you get on there you get access to the forum for life So you just pay it once and then you can interact with us and the other mind pump listeners. I like that. Smooth. Oh, don't forget, bro. You got to tell where they got to go, right? Mindpumpmedia.com.
