We had the good fortune of connecting with Burak King and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Burak, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Starting my own business was about creating something meaningful that aligned with my passions and values. As an IFBB Pro, I’ve learned that success requires discipline, focus, and a relentless commitment to your goals. I wanted to take that same mindset and apply it to building something that could make a real impact.

For me, it was never just about financial gain. It was about building a legacy, inspiring others, and providing tools for people to better themselves. I’ve always believed in leading by example—showing that with hard work, resilience, and a clear vision, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

Starting a business gave me the freedom to take control of my future and pursue something I was truly passionate about. It’s an extension of my values and a way to connect with people on a deeper level, helping them transform their lives through fitness, personal development, and motivation.

Ultimately, my thought process was about creating a platform that’s not just about me, but about giving back and building something that stands the test of time. It’s been challenging, but every step of the journey has been worth it.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My art is the art of transformation—of the body, mind, and spirit. What sets me apart is my focus on authenticity and helping others build resilience, not just physical strength.

Getting here wasn’t easy. I faced setbacks and challenges, but those moments taught me that growth comes from perseverance and staying true to your purpose.

My story isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress. I want the world to know that anyone can transform their life if they’re willing to put in the work and believe in themselves.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Absolutely. Success is never achieved alone, and I owe so much to the incredible people who’ve supported me along the way. First and foremost, my family has been my rock. Their unwavering love and encouragement have been a constant source of strength, especially during the most challenging times.

I also have to credit my coaches and mentors who pushed me to see my potential, even when I doubted myself. They didn’t just guide me in fitness—they instilled values like discipline, resilience, and the importance of a strong mindset that I carry into every aspect of my life.

Every step of my journey has been influenced by the people who believed in me and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. I’m incredibly grateful to each person and every experience that’s contributed to my growth.
