Hello again! Remind us who you are and what business you started.
My name is Nick Bare and I’m the Founder/CEO of Bare Performance Nutrition (BPN). I started my business in 2012, while I was studying nutrition at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. A year before graduating college and commissioning into the US Army as an Infantry Officer, I took out a $20,000 loan, sourced a supplement manufacturer, and went all-in on my passion.
The first four years of building BPN were spent as a side project. My primary job and priority were leading an Infantry Platoon at Fort Hood, Texas, but with every waking moment outside of it I was learning how to scale a startup. The first couple of years were tough and I quickly learned the struggle of a bootstrapped business. We started to experience some momentum by building an online community through social media, learned how to tell our story, and documented the journey of building BPN to where it is today.
