In this episode of the Push Pull Legs podcast, Dami and Tom Hall dive into a world of nostalgia, discussing their favourite crisps from childhood to today's high-brow flavours. The conversation gets surprisingly detailed, covering everything from classic Walkers variety packs to underrated French Fries and knick-knacks. They then pivot to a different kind of snack—the success of Alex Hormozi's world-record-breaking book launch. Dami breaks down the incredible numbers, contrasting Hormozi's intense, multi-platform promotional strategy with the hesitation many coaches have about promoting their own launches. This segment serves as a powerful lesson on the sheer volume of work required to achieve a world-record-level launch.
