Side Quest Podcast

In this episode I interview the co-Founder of Fitocracy, Dick Talens.  Dick grew up a "fat kid" and discovered his own tricks to fat loss that he now applies with his clients. He even competed in a bodybuilding show in the mid 2000s.  Dick is a prolific writer and has written for LifeHacker, Bodybuilding.com, Schwarzenegger, and much much more.  He was also named one of the top 100 Most Influental People in Health and Fitness by Greatist this year. Dick is one of a kind in the fitness industry and one of the most fun people to chat with. In this episode we discuss: - how he keeps himself from getting distracted - his story and how he moved from fat kid to bodybuilder - would he recommend anyone try a bodybuilding show just once - dude we should own a bar! and call it puzzles! - where the birth of the idea for Fitocracy came from - his favorite game ever, Nexus the Kingdom of Winds - his history of trolling and why he does it - his failed cupcake business - how he might make a great reality tv star
