In this episode of the Move the Chains podcast, host Ryan Munsey interviews Robert Sikes, the founder of Keto Bricks. This is a great conversation that covers everything from building a brand from scratch, to fatherhood, developing mental toughness in the gym, and much more. Robert talks about the importance of building community - both locally/personally and for brands. He shares his personal experiences with eating disorders, the transition to a ketogenic lifestyle, and how he leverages his OCD for success. The conversation also touches on the importance of setting goals, and the resilience required in business, with a must-hear story of how he navigated his business through the recent cacao crisis. Robert emphasizes the philosophy of leaving more value than you take and the significance of living life with purpose and passion.
