Carl Daikeler and Jon Congdon are on a mission. They want to create widespread awareness about the obesity epidemic in the U.S., and they intend to transform the direct response marketing industry. How? One customer at a time. One product at a time. Thirteen years ago, these two entrepreneurs vowed to only market effective high-quality fitness products that enabled people to transform their lives through daily exercise and healthier eating habits – no magic pills, no quick-fix gadgets, no excuses. And much to the chagrin of industry peers, they leveraged the critical mass of media to develop an umbrella brand rather than concentrating on selling a multitude of hit products in various product categories.
