#8 Graeme Eaglesham

<p><strong>Graeme is the spearhead of "Quest to be a Gymshark". A daily social media campaign that took Graeme 1000+ days to become a Gymshark which continues now that he is part of the team.</strong></p><p><strong>It is every fitness fanatic’s dream to become sponsored by Gymshark. A huge population of us are aligned with their slogan - “Be a Visionary”.</strong></p><p><strong>But, how do YOU become a Gymshark? Graeme Eaglesham stops by to unload the quest that underpins his road to sponsorship.</strong></p><p><strong>He also provides his insight on what it looks like to become and then embody the role of a Gymshark. He outlays the perks that hold hands with the journey.</strong></p><p><strong>He opens up about transferring his virtues from professional football to online content creation after a career ending injury.</strong></p><p><strong>We speak about why consistency over time in the right direction yields greater rewards than speed and velocity in the wrong direction – and how this formula for success is inter-transferable to any passion.</strong></p><p><strong>We also learn about the time Graeme was Santa’s little helper with Noel Mack at Gymshark HQ feeding @benfrancis and team (probably) a macro friendly Christmas lunch!</strong></p><p><strong>Thanks Graeme for stopping by! What an episode!</strong></p><p>Graeme on Instagram</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/geagsfit/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/geagsfit/</a></p><p>Graeme on Youtube</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzi3lSrkD1t4bOGPcaKzVDA" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzi3lSrkD1t4bOGPcaKzVDA</a></p><p>Gymshark</p><p><a href="https://uk.gymshark.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://uk.gymshark.com/</a></p><p>Me on Instagram</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/developmentbydavid/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/developmentbydavid/</a></p><p>The PODCAST is sponsored by @DRINKFUD energy drink.
