The Nick Bare Show

In this episode Mike Beech (co-owner of HVIII Brand Goods) and I talk about entrepreneurship and the struggles of growing/scaling a brand.

In this episode Nick Bare and Nick Koumalatsos talk about how to physically prepare for the military.  Bare spent 4 years on active duty as an Infantry Officer and Koumalatsos spent 12 years in the Marine Corps at MARSOC.

In this episode I sit down with Nick Koumalatsos and talk business, military, YouTube and the the life of an entrepreneur.  Nick spent 12 years in the Marine Corps and 5 of those years in MARSOC.  He has a lot of experience that he was willing to open up and share.  Enjoy!

In this episode I talk about something that frequents my mind on a daily basis - creativity as a content creator and a entrepreneur.  After a recent trip to London and visiting a museum of creativity and design I can't stop thinking about being original and creative in everything I do.  Sit back, look at social media and try to identify a creative mind today...

In this episode I touch on this past month's experiences.  I recently made a trip to London to work with befitness, who is an online educational resource for fitness industry experts.  The BPN team is also getting ready to launch our Black Friday sales - which I explain.  Also, I go into details about my new style of training - crossfit.

In this episode we briefly touch on why YOU shouldn't open a gym.  Almost everyone that ever falls in love with the gym has the idea of opening a gym, but is it a good idea to plan to be profitable or just break even?

In this episode I give a little bit of motivation I have been experiencing during my marathon training.  The driving factor behind a lot of my self-motivation is from leaders I worked under in the Army.  Leadership is the ability to influence through purpose, direction and motivation.

In this episode I touch on a personal topic that I am very familiar with - eating disorders.  I experienced a serious eating disorder when I was young that took me years to overcome.  I see a lot of the same tendencies and unhealthy relationships with food in the fitness industry.

With new businesses and "entrepreneurs" being born everyday my brother, Preston, and I touch on the topic of social media and building a business.  Having a large social following maybe provide the leverage needed to kick start your business but it will definitely not sustain it.  

In this episode I talk about my most recent decision to register for the Austin Marathon this year.  Over the past couple years my perception of my personal fitness has changed a lot and I have become more open minded to "fitness".

In this episode I discuss my thought process, logistical plan and events that occurred during the 150 mile ruck march I completed to raised awareness and money for Hurricane Harvey efforts.   Over the course of 4 days I walked from Austin, TX to Houston, TX.

DONATE TO HOUSTON: https://www.gofundme.com/harvey-relief-150-mile-ruck-march In this episode I discuss the events leading up to the most intimidating moment in my life, which was meeting my platoon for the first time.  The impact the military has left on my life has been significant and I am greatly appreciative for my time on active duty.

In this episode I discuss a very common feeling that we experience as business owners or entrepreneurs.  That feeling is the power of losing.  I believe this is a crucial step in growth to continue moving forward even though it may not seem like it at all times.  Gain and maintain the offensive!

I couldn't have built and scaled BPN Supplements without the help of my brother, Preston Bare. In this episode we discuss how we first started working together, how our roles have changed within the company and our future goals for forward progression in this industry.

What makes a true leader? What does one act like? In this episode I provide some insight on what I think makes a great leader from my experiences in the military and running a business. Today, social media has a large influence and the position of "leader" is thrown out left and right. I think it is much deeper than perceived online.
