Starting as a teen bodybuilder obsessed with gains, Ray shares how tragedy sparked his passion, pushing him to championships, and learning the hard way about bodies, booze and bad decisions. At his peak, a massive heart attack nearly ended it all—until he walked out on that dire prognosis and rebuilt stronger.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">After building <a href="https://themaxsp.com/">The Max Screen Printing</a> into a 7-figure company, Ray reveals his new mission: "<a href="https://agebetter-apparel.com/">Age Better</a>," a movement beyond apparel into discipline, stoicism, and longevity—because quality of life beats quick fixes. He warns about the "dark side" of bodybuilding (steroids, heart risks) and shares tactics for dark seasons, the reality of injuries, plus tips on scaling businesses. If you're bored at your current level or rebuilding after setbacks, this conversation will push you past excuses and into action. Watch now and age better—in business and in life.<br /> <br /></p> <p dir="ltr">[Insert Timestamps here]</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">📲 Guest Socials: </p> <p dir="ltr">Ray Minger Instagram — <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rminger2020">https://www.instagram.com/rminger2020</a> </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">🌐 Company Sites: </p> <p dir="ltr">Age Better Apparel — <a href="https://agebetter-apparel.com/">https://agebetter-apparel.com/</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">The Max Screen Printing — <a href="https://themaxsp.com/">https://themaxsp.com/</a> </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">👍 Company Socials: </p> <p dir="ltr">Age Better (FB) — <a href="https://www.facebook.com/p/Age-Better-61554328397277/">https://www.facebook.com/p/Age-Better-61554328397277/</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">The Max SCR (IG) — <a href="https://www.instagram.com/themax_scr/">https://www.instagram.com/themax_scr/</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">The Max Screen Printing (FB) — <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheMaxScreenPrinting/">https://www.facebook.com/TheMaxScreenPrinting/</a> </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Watch the full-length video version of any Dropping Bombs episode <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDAbrXOj2yIrzj8QE4jC-Og">here on YouTube</a>.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Brad Lea is a self-made entrepreneur who turned small-town grit into a multi-million-dollar empire.
