In this powerful episode of the Killer Growth Podcast, Samuel sits down with Levi Parker, founder of The Gnarbell, one of the most unique and culture-rich gyms in the Midwest.

Levi shares the full story — from playing college baseball, to conquering a fear of heights as an ironworker, to the morning he turned his truck around and walked away from a steady union job because something in his chest told him there was more.

What began as a basement gym and a handful of clients has become a full-blown movement: a private, culture-first, no-sign-on-the-door, earn-your-way-in training sanctuary built on discipline, consistency, and community.

Levi opens up about burnout, imposter syndrome, the moment he nearly quit, and how seeing other people win — youth athletes, dads, competitive lifters — kept him going.

From 4 A.M. crews to 10x bodyweight totals, from moving elephants at the zoo to spotting 1200-pound squats, to building a brand with a three-headed wolf at its core—this is the story of a man strengthening a small town and inspiring lifters around the world.
