Pete Dupuis is the Co-Founder, Vice President, and Business Director of Cressey Sports Performance. Cressey Sports Performance is a training facility that specializes in designing fitness programs for elite athletes and those who want to take their long-term health seriously.

Pete joins me today to discuss the goal of Cressey Sports Performance and his relationship with Eric Cressey.

He shares the story of how being pot-luck roommates with Eric eventually led them to building a dominant business in the fitness industry.

Pete also gives us insight as to what their business was like for the first few years, and how it’s grown since then.

And finally, he explains the importance of knowing how to use various social media platforms for marketing, and why you should put a premium on video marketing.

 

It’s the connections you made that are going to put you in the position to succeed, not what your GPA was your junior year. – Pete Dupuis
