Andy Frisella

Background

Andy Frisella was born on September 29, 1984, and grew up in Missouri. He had a close relationship with his father, who motivated him to succeed. As a child, people called him fat, stupid, and lazy. Additionally, he consistently got low marks in school, which added to the bullying and mockery. His dad, however, taught him that with determination and a strong work ethic, he could achieve anything, and that is what he did in his life.

Frisella had an entrepreneurial spirit from an early age when he started selling lemonade, lightbulbs, basketball cards, and the like to raise money. His father positively influenced how he dealt with negativity from students and teachers who told him he would never amount to anything. He and his partner Chris Klein, his friend from high school, were determined to succeed and ventured into starting a supplement business. Although their beginning was rocky, as they could barely make $500 per day from the business, their success was mainly due to their rapport with clients and the purchase of multiple supplement chains going out of business. Currently, he owns over 30 branches of supplement distribution stores called supplement superstores.

In 2009, Frisella, alongside his partners, decided to start producing their supplements products, which they named First Phorm International. The decision succeeded because First Phorm International is estimated to have a net worth above 175 million dollars. He credits his father for teaching him about success through work ethic and determination. Frisella hosted a popular podcast called “MFCEO Project Podcast,” which he started with his friends in 2015. The podcast aimed to educate people on the side effects and benefits of supplements and to teach people the core values of entrepreneurship. He is also the host of another well-known podcast called Real AF.
