Show Notes
Robbie came to the States in his 20s from Dominican Republic with his band partners to pursue music. He was raised by a single mother and he never intended to invent anything. He did loads of odd jobs like valet parking, doing real estate, working in restaurants, and hotels. Robbie’s first side hustle was selling collectibles online and after it wasn’t working out, he ended up selling the business just to recoup some of the debt.
While being laid off, depressed and at home with his wife and three little kids he realized that he needed to get his act together and start doing something. He joined the gym to lose some weight and get back into shape. This is where BenjiLock was born.
