Barbell Shrugged - Talking Training W/ Crossfit Games Athletes, Strength Coaches & More

Dave Gallagher is the owner of Savage Barbell.  Savage Barbell is not his full time job. Dave is a full time fire fighter in Southern California and runs Savage on his days off from the fire station. He started Savage Barbell after a very poor customer service experience at the CrossFit Games in 2014.  He thought, “these people have such a great community and this is how they treat us?” He started Savage with a college buddy, who runs a web design marking company in Huntington Beach, California. They wanted to “offer a great product line that knows without its customers, we are nothing!”   In this episode of Barbell Shrugged, the crew breaks into the intricacies of small business, building a clothing brand, competing against the giant in the industry, and how being a full time firefighter captain fuels the mindset and success of the company.   http://savagebarbell.com/shrugged to save 25% on your first purchase.   Minute Breakdown:   1-10 What happens when Plan A doesn’t work. 11-20 The right way to sponsor a
