An insecure kid-

Christian’s friend group consisted of people from a different school and all of his friends were attending honors classes and used to secure A grades so, he used to feel nether.

While in middle school, he was very reserved.

Inspired towards fitness-

Inspired by Iron Man-

In TCU, Christian missed his old friend group and as he couldn’t make new friends, he channelled all his focus towards fitness.

Thanks to his YouTube channel, Christian eventually became world-famous and this also later helped him in the success of his other businesses.
