Leaders! 🙌
Last year, we hosted a Discovery Day at HQ for a prospective Fit Body franchise partner.
Smart guy. Former military. Sharp operator. He’d been following Bedros and me for a while—and was serious about building something big.
We started the day with a workout at BK Strength, and midway through the warm-up, he pulled me aside.
“Bryce, I just want to say—I respect the way you take care of your body. You show up how you expect others to. That tells me everything I need to know.”
That hit me.
Not because of the compliment—but because of what it confirmed.
Leadership isn’t about what you say. It’s not the title on your email signature. It’s about the proof people see in how you operate daily.
In that moment, before we ever talked business, vision, or investment—he made a decision.
He could follow me.
Why?
Because I was already leading someone else.
Myself.
And that’s your takeaway today:
You’re not qualified to lead others until you can consistently lead yourself.
That means your health. Your time. Your words. Your discipline.
People don’t follow advice—they follow example.
If you’re asking your team to be better, show them what better looks like. If you want clients to trust you, show them someone worth trusting.
Lead yourself first.
And everything else falls in line.

The 5 Immutable Rules of Leadership
- Take Extreme Ownership: Everything is your responsibility—even when it’s not your fault.
- Put Your Oxygen Mask On First: Lead yourself before leading others.
- Wield Influence Through Moral Authority: People follow who you are, not what you say.
- It’s Not About You—Never Was, Never Will Be: Elevate others, build legacy.
- Turn Adversity Into Advantage: Pain is your power—use it.
