Becoming Involved in the Weight Loss Business

Bugra Balaban joins Vinnie Tortorich on today's Saturday edition of the Angriest Trainer podcast, asking him questions concerning becoming involved in the weight loss industry. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli BUGRA'S STORY From Turkey, now residing in Arizona 6'1, has lost around 150 lbs since starting NSNG Only 26, pursuing his PhD HOW CAN ONE START A CAREER IN THE WEIGHT LOSS BUSINESS? Bugra wants to help other people lose weight He has the degrees to do it Vinnie thinks that this is a hard thing If Bugra were to take classes to become a dietician, he would be taught to tell people that whole grains are good, etc. If you are to get involved, start with something physiological to understand how the body works Online dietician classes are not the move -- those certificates are worthless Get a real degree This is not the business to make money in Vinnie got lucky and worked incredibly hard "You become an overnight success by spending 30 years in this business" Vinnie suggests for Bugra to use his engineering degree to become an engineer and then get involved in this on the side Come back to this later if you still feel compelled to do so
