The Power of Discipline: Nick Bare's Transformation from Army Ranger to Ultramarathon Runner to BPN Creator
In our FitBiz series we want to share the stories behind brands in fitness, health, nutrition and wellness. Through candid interviews and in-depth discussions, FitBiz aims to explore the successes, challenges and valuable lessons of these groundbreaking companies.
Nick Bare's inspiring story of overcoming adversity and using discipline to guide his success as an entrepreneur with Bare Performance Nutrition (BPN) reminds us that we can break through barriers and achieve success with focus and determination.
Below are highlights from Bare's interview with Zack Zeigler, host of the M&F Reps podcast. In this interview, Nick talks about his experiences, strategies for success and how discipline shapes his life.
Discipline: A key to success
Nick Bare founded Bare Performance Nutrition (BPN) in 2012 from his college apartment in Western Pennsylvania. Bare, also a former Army Ranger, ultra-marathon runner and author, has helped BPN achieve serious success since its inception. In a recent episode of the M&F Reps podcast, hosted by our Chief Content Officer/Editor-in-Chief Zack Zeigler, Bare talks about his journey and how his commitment to fitness and athletic discipline has played a critical role in his success.
Develop discipline in life
“I think it starts with the first win,” Bare says. "I'm a big fan of Tim Grover's book 'Winning' and he talks about how we're born without wins and sometimes we need that first win."
Overcoming an eating disorder
During the interview, Nick opened up about his teenage struggle with an eating disorder, something he hadn't spoken about publicly in many years. “I still don’t know what triggered it and why,” he shared. "It was just this control, and I wanted to get thinner and thinner, and I became afraid of the food itself." Despite the challenges, Nick managed to rebuild a healthy relationship with food and has since supported others facing similar issues.
From discipline to success
Nick's journey from struggling with an eating disorder and need for control to becoming a disciplined Army Ranger and successful entrepreneur wasn't easy. However, his experiences have shaped him into the strong and disciplined person he is today.
