Background

About Zack Leeds

As a US Marine, my responsibilities were to maintain the safety and security of our assigned position while ensuring that all of my men were in good spirits and ready to take on any challenge. I learned that the combination of attention to detail, intensity and compassion creates a positive atmosphere where others can truly perform to their best capabilities. I took those lessons and carried them over to the fitness world where I landed my first sales job at LA Fitness. During my time there is when I feel that I had developed a passion and gift for being able to truly connect with others around me. Especially ones that needed the guidance and motivation to hit their life and fitness goals. That passion led me to my next endeavor. I spent 13 months at Redcon1 doing direct to consumer sales. In one month I did 60K in sales on 542 orders from a book of business I maintained with zero oversight. This performance and dedication is what lead to me getting promoted to the wholesale team. As one of 4 members of the Redcon1 wholesale team, my responsibility was to grow the brand through sports nutrition distribution channels. During that time is when I had gotten the line into Dicks Sporting Goods, Academy Sports and multiple other major retail partners. While working directly through distribution partners I quickly learned that the cultivation and maintenance of business relationships is the major key to success in not just sports nutrition but any industry.
