Ep 108 The OG's of the Internet ft. Lee Hayward & Mike Westerdal
Episode description
Pioneers, Adversaries and now Friends…
Founder of CriticalBench, Mike Westerdal, and Founder of Total Fitness Bodybuilding, Lee Hayward, share their beginnings on the internet for over 2 decades!
The internet age has seen a lot of changes since the late 90’s (and that’s an understatement!) Mike and Lee have been along for the ride ever since, navigating through challenges, the many failures and of course the triumphs.
Early on they viewed themselves as direct competition and watched what the other was doing from a distance. But everything changed about 10 years ago when they had a major breakthrough and found out the REAL KEY to business growth and long term success!
"We did take that leap of faith, joining that group I think was the major turning point for me and this business." -Mike Westerdal
"I've never seen anybody succeed in a poor environment, I don't think it's possible, regardless of how motivated you are." -Lee Hayward
