The Tak3 Action Podcast

Surround yourself with people who have dreams, desire, and ambition; they’ll help you push for and realize your own ... That’s the exact reason I recorded a Podcast with my boy Gules Meli the Head Coach and Owner over at Team Bionic. There’s nothing more motivating than seeing your friends chasing after their goals and this kid has done exactly that. Coming 1st place in his Junior Physique competition, coaching his clients and his friends to live a healthy lifestyle and in general, he’s just doing his thing, pushing our positivity.I sat down with Gules and talked about how he got to where he is today with everything that he’s doing and what his thoughts were on how to help people Tak3 Action. His one piece of advice "Remove the Fear" was probably the best one I’ve heard yet, so I definitely recommend listening in to what he has to say.Appreciate you bud, thanks for coming on the Podcast!

Experiencing first hand your roommate build and grow a company to the scale that this lad right here has been able to is literally insane ...  I still remember the first days of freaking out when he saw just one order come in. Now, I don’t think he can even keep count towards how many custom inquires and catalog sales come through on a daily basis.Entrepreneurship is in no way, shape or form something easy. It requires sacrifice, late nights, failure and the list goes on and on. I mean it when I say it isn't for everyone ... but my man Stone Cieslok right here is 100% the definition of what it means to be an Entrepreneur. Being just 20 years old and accomplishing what he's been able to with his company Neon X is beyond remarkable. He's worked with the Canadian Country Music Awards, Reebok, Peace Collective and the list goes on and on. Stone's journey may look like an overnight success because of the success Neon X has had within just one year of being in business, but I can promise you that this is

What's up Tak3 Action community? To kick this podcast off, I decided to start with my very own Tak3 Action story. Over the years, I've started multiple businesses and have tried many other things along the way. From starting my own custom clothing business at 13-years old in my buddy's basement, creating a gym equipment affiliate marketing website, to attempting to start multiple YouTube channels ... the list goes on and on. It has been 8 years since I started my first business and in this podcast I outline each and every one of them, the successes and failures within each and how they all came together to make me the individual I am today and create Tak3 Action. So, sit back, relax and enjoy!
