A couple cool things in the JTV video interview:
  • He mentioned any articles and the purpose of the forums on bb.com are soely to help you get in shape, the company hopes the result will be you buying supps
  • His first job was at blockbuster and he knew from a young age he was making someone else rich in his job
  • Tips to new entrepreneurs - get out there and do it before you get old and have regret for not doing it. Don't wait for someday, do it
  • He mentioned he never started bb.com to be a $100000000 company but instead to help people get in shape and connect with other fitness enthusiasts - "Our beginning attitude was get started and learn as we go"
  • Never get complacent or too happy, read and learn from others mistakes...
  • He's never thought about selling 100% because he enjoys building the company too much, works 5 days per week couldn't retire lest regret not helping more people
  • Pulled out of early college courses but has learned so much on marketing, psychology, e commerce, teamwork, leadership, success stories through books
  • He seems to not care about the money he makes but genuinely about helping his customers and members
  • Only 10% of their orders come from international orders and they have never even marketed overseas. He wants to grow this to a larger figure
  • Wants to build a recommendation system similar to amazon to recommend programs, supps, nutrition programs etc
  • Considers the rep system of v-bulletin to be essential to encouraging participation and positive posts aswell as to differentiate good posters from trolls
  • Paid to defend a number of members against a slander/libel suit from a company which recieved widespread bad reviews on the forums rather than letting them fend for themselves


I didn't finish watching it but I might later
