$54M/year CEO business advice, while doing muscle-ups at the gym

Hey ColdIQers!

How many Jacked $54M ARR CEOs do you know?

(Bonus point if they can do front levers, muscle-ups, weighted dips & weighted pull-ups)

Video of the week

Charles Tenot, CEO of lemlist, flew in from Paris to train with me in Barcelona.

For half an hour, he gave me business, life advice & attempted to teach me ring muscle-ups.

We trained for an hour and talked about:

  • Why he trains every day even though it takes time

  • How success in sport & business are strangely correlated

  • How to handle "internal politics" at 100+ employees

  • Why he grew to 40,000+ followers but doesn't care about his audience size

Bonus: He even sweared at me at the end
