| 6/22/26 | ![]() From Survival Mode to Building an Empire: The Real Story Behind Bedros Keuilian’s Success | Bedros Keuilian, entrepreneur, author, speaker, founder of Fit Body Boot Camp, and creator of The Project, joins The Determined Society for a raw conversation on success, trauma, anxiety, healing, leadership, fatherhood, and becoming a better man. Bedros opens up about coming to America as an immigrant child, growing up on welfare and food stamps, being bullied, learning to reframe adversity, and building a massive fitness franchise from a place of drive and survival. In this episode, Shawn French and Bedros discuss the anxiety attack that forced him to face what success could not fix, the therapy work that helped him heal old wounds, the weight men carry in silence, why action alleviates anxiety, how trauma can create self-sabotage, and what it means to take the armor off at home. This conversation goes beyond business and into the deeper work of leadership, authenticity, family, masculinity, resilience, and becoming built for the winter. The Determined Society is hosted by Shawn French — a show for people who refuse to quit. Every episode goes beyond the highlight reel to explore the real stories behind resilience, reinvention, and the relentless pursuit of a life built on your own terms.

In this episode, Shawn French and Trevor discuss the controversy that pushed him out of MLB, the suspension and release that followed, his decision to keep competing in Japan, Mexico, and independent baseball, and the mindset that has kept him standing when most people would have walked away.

He shares how that moment led him from fighting to coaching, and how routine, repetition, faith, and service became the foundation of his work with fighters, Olympians, Special Forces operators, CEOs, and high performers. This conversation is about more than training. It is about finding your purpose, staying prepared, and building the mind, body, and spirit to keep moving forward when life hits back.
