Fit Body Bootcamp Owner Bedros Keuilian

About this video

Bedros Keuilian, owner of Fit Body Boot Camp franchise and author of Man Up, shares his journey from escaping Soviet-controlled Armenia as a six-year-old to building business success in America. He discusses his daily routines, the eight books he repeatedly reads for mastery, and his emergency preparedness philosophy. Keuilian recounts his family’s struggle with poverty after arriving in California as refugees, describing how witnessing his father’s financial stress and his sister’s workplace mistreatment drove his determination to achieve wealth and help his family.

Key takeaways

• Keuilian argues that reading the same foundational books repeatedly (rather than constantly reading new ones) allows for true mastery and the ability to teach and apply their lessons effectively.
• Keuilian credits his mentor Jim Franco with teaching him that selling is persuasion, not order-taking, which he says was crucial to his business success.
• Keuilian recounts that his childhood experiences of poverty in America—hearing his father say ‘we run out of money before we run out of month’ and watching his sister endure workplace harassment—created the intense drive that fueled his entrepreneurial path.
• Keuilian describes maintaining an emergency preparedness kit including $10,000 cash, gold coins, passport, and other supplies, which he says proved essential during Hurricane Sandy when normal infrastructure failed.
