We're about to attempt our biggest surprise yet. We just wrapped up an eight week transformation challenge, and there's $75,000 on the line. And instead of going out into the public and surprising these winners, we're gonna try something differently and get them here at First Form Headquarters in Fenton, Missouri, without them having any idea what's going on and surprising them in front of the entire company. And to pull this off, it's gonna take a lot of coordination, a lot of secrets, maybe a few lies every now and again. But we can get this done as long as everything goes. So come along for the journey. Let's see if we do it.
I got an idea.
Okay.
Okay. We're gonna do a surprise for the Transformation Challenge winners, right? Which you've helped out before, but this time, we're gonna get them here to surprise them. Ooh. Okay. All right. All right. So we gotta come up with a plan, a backstory for why we're even gonna get them here. Cause they can't know. Then we gotta book it, we gotta keep it a secret, and we gotta execute this. I'll get on the phone with them. Can you start looking at flights, put together like a fake itinerary of what they're doing when they get here? Oh, yeah. Okay. And we'll just start planning it one little thing at a time. Sweet. All right, cool.
Secrets you'll meet.
All right, I'm telling one. All right, well, Darryl's in, so he's gonna start working on the plan. I'm gonna go look up their phone numbers and just start making these calls. Because again, if it can't work On Monday the 17th, I don't know when we're going to pull this off. So next up is just smile and dial.
So we're about to get Pedro on the phone right now. However, we already got Marcus's flight booked, hotel booked, and he is on board and going to be here. So now we just need Pedro to show up. So let's give the man a call.
Hey, Pedro. What's going on, brother? How are you going on?
I'm doing great. How about yourself, brother?
Good.
You? You outside getting a ruck in or something? No, I'm here with the Y here.
In downtown Kansas City.
So I. I have an idea. And we've never done this before, and if you say no, it doesn't disqualify you by any means, Pedro. But what we would love to do is if you could get to First form headquarters on Monday, the 17th of this month, we're going to do, like, final interviews with the top three. Three. And we would pay for your trip. You know, we would. We would take care of your hotel, your gas or your flight or whatever you need, man. And if you could get here, actually, technically it's like Sunday night, so you could be ready to go Monday, and then we can get you back out of here Monday night. Is that something that you could swing?
Yeah, for sure, definitely.
Oh, perfect. Okay, sweet. We'll get you everything you need, man, and we'll see you here Sunday night, you know, the 16th, and then a day of interviews on the 17th, and we'll go from there. Awesome, brother.
Hey, appreciate everything, and thanks for the opportunity.
Yep. Awesome, Pedro. See you, man. Bye.
All right, Pedro's in. I like it. I don't know what he does for work, but that was pretty easy. He didn't check his schedule. He's like, nope, I'm in. I will be there. So we got the two. Now we just have to make sure that we keep it a secret the entire time and then, you know, figure out what we're gonna do when they actually get here, cross that bridge later.
All right, well, the two winners are here, and they still have no idea what is going on. Only a small group of individuals here at HQ actually know what's going on, and over the last couple days, have been texting them, you know, kind of getting them off the trail of any potential idea that we're going to surprise them in the company meeting. So excited to go interact with them here just a little bit, you know, you know, keeping it casual, and then get into this meeting. We got a couple surprises, depending on how the meeting goes, if we're doing it in the beginning or at the end. But whatever the case may be, we are going to absolutely surprise these guys because they have no idea what's going on as long as no one spoils it between now and then. So just a little bit more time, and let's go.
All right, we're about 10 minutes away. I got a couple people to help with the surprise after the surprise. So we're going to surprise them. Then we're going to bring the checks in. And the advisor of one of the guys is here. Drove all the way here, and Marcus doesn't know that. So it'll be like a surprise on a surprise. So let's go fill them in and make sure we're all on the same page. All right, so we got Monte and Derek here, the advisors for the two individuals that are going to win. Derek was the advisor Helping out Pedro. And Monte has been helping out Marcus along his journey. So, guys, I know I asked you to come over here, kind of sneaking in the back door. They're in the building, so no leaving the locker room for a little bit. We're going to kick the meeting off at 10:30, so about 10:45, I want you guys to go out into the auxiliary closet and get the two checks, okay? Because you guys got an important role. So be hanging out in the caf, and once the meeting kind of is wrapping up, I'll do some announcements, then bring them down, announce that they are the winners. Place will go nuts. Okay? So you'll hear it, and then as soon as you hear everybody going nuts, need you to come in the door and present them with. With the checks. Cool.
Sounds good.
Yes, sir.
Okay. And then after that, we'll. We'll kind of like, give them a moment, you know, soak it all in. We'll let them break it down, and then we'll pop out of there and get into some. Some interviews. Cool? Yes, sir.
Let's go.
All right, cool. Let's do it. All right. All right, here we go. One more step. Done.
Pedro, what's up, man? How you doing? How are you, brother? Good to see you. Marcus, good to see you again. Twice in a couple weeks.
Yes, sir.
Yeah. How was breakfast? You guys good?
Yeah, fantastic.
Cool. All right, man. Yep. Cool. See ya.
I think I did good. I have no idea, but I think that was good.
Door is closed. We're about to just get this party started.
Will's got a couple housekeeping things you.
Want to talk about.
We will.
All right.
Cool. This will just take a moment, and it ties in directly with what Andy is talking about. So we're doing something that we've never done before. We have the top three finalists, you know, in for the lifestyle side of things, to interview, to talk about, like, hey, what has this journey been? What has this process been? Because, yes, we have pictures, yes, we have videos, yes, we have essays, but that's only a fraction of what that can be. So while you guys are here, what would you say, you know, as far as, like, the biggest impact, the biggest difference that is made in your life, maybe in, like, a minute or less, and just kind of hear from you guys.
So one of the biggest things, guys, is I started 13 and a half, 14 months ago.
And one of the biggest things that y' all may realize, it may seem repetitive to y'.
All.
It may seem like y' all are saying the same type of messages. It May seem like y' all are giving the same information, but it's gonna hit home with someone. And I was that someone at one point. At one point. I can't give this person credit because I don't honestly remember who it was, but it was somebody at first form. I've listened to Andy for the last three years and that's why I was following some people. But he said, you need to set an example. I was looking at a giant bowl of ice cream with every last topping in that bowl I had. Every last topping you could think of. I've been a fat kid my whole life. I looked up from that bowl of ice cream after hearing that message, saw my kids playing, and I began to sob into my bowl of ice cream. I didn't eat the fucking bowl of ice cream. The big thing is that message hit home and sadly, one of my closest friends and biggest supports had just passed away. I didn't really have anybody to support that now that I even knew I had to change. I didn't have the support. But shortly after, I got an email in the middle of the night at 11 o', clock, right before the challenge closed. So don't think those emails go to waste either. That email is what got me into the challenge and I woke up, my wife had her take pictures. We got the ball rolling from there and I found the best support I could have possibly found. So if you all think you aren't making an impact, I promise you, you are. Every single day, every single day I've lost £185.
Don't waste an opportunity to save somebody's life because you all have saved mine.
Tough one to come after.
But I'll pick up where he left off. Like, makes me emotional as well because when you're looking at the trigger of a loaded gun and you pull it and it doesn't go off, you know, you're here for more. And you guys, I promise you guys, I got to meet him. And you know, just talking to your guys story and Andy and Chris, when they developed supplement Superstore, I'm from Springfield or Branson, so I watched him grow the whole time. And, and coming from the lowest point in my life, you know, I came out of professional umpiring and blew up to almost £300, £278 75 hard. Changed my life. I'm a tattoo on my arm, but I've yo yoed on it. You know, I've yo yoed. Andy talks about, you know, developing discipline and keeping with those disciplines and making That a standard for your life? Well, just as easy as you develop them, you lose them. I've lost them twice, three times now. And I'll be 40 this week. Hopefully I can be the most 40, Jack.
40.
But it goes to say, like, you know, just as long as you stick with it and, you know, don't pull off. And this. This last time I joined the challenge, told myself, I was like, this is it, man. You done enough. You put yourself through enough. Like, no more going back. Like, so it's lifestyle, change, everything. But just to, you know, let you guys know what you guys do, you guys do God's work. You guys change the world and change communities, change people. And. And I can't thank you guys, guys enough for everything you do, every single one of you. Andy, you know, you and Chris, Sal, everybody. I guys owe you my life. But I'll keep working to hold that standard and pay back a little bit of what you guys are giving me, okay?
Never forget that you guys changed your life. You saved your life. Right? And what's really cool is that this company is built on people that were in similar situations of yours. Right? We all have some sort of journey and how we got here. Right? So while, yes, it's, you know, the app is great. Yes, the company's great. The actions that you took are what are most great. Right? And I think I speak for every single person inside of this building because you guys post so much on social media. It's been absolutely awesome to watch you go out day after day, put in the work, earn the results, and now both of you are $25,000 Trench Racer winner.
Yeah.
You guys know what to do next.
I am grateful.
Well, that was freaking awesome, man. What a surprise. The energy, the emotion, just everything about it. Truly, truly an incredible experience that I know that we will never, ever forget. But this video doesn't stop right here because there's two more people that won in the spring transformation challenge, and that's the individuals that were a part of the partner division, which is a $25,000 prize that they split equally for the best accountability partners that went out and did the work. And for that, it is Alex and Firth, and they both earned awesome transformations. And what's super cool about this is that they're actually a couple, so taking this fitness journey on with their loved one, holding each other accountable, raising the standard, and going out and earning incredible results. So awesome work from all four of these winners. So go ahead and drop a comment below to congratulate them. Hit the bell to turn on notifications for more content like this.
