Big_Spaz you are Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired! - By Gaspari Nutrition

[Big_Spaz]

All,

I'm just letting you know ... it's official. After being with the company (very loyally I may add) on and off since 2008 working various demo's, expo's, in store promo's, traveling the country from end to end (New York to Las Vegas) I got the email on Monday that I'm no longer with the company and neither are any of the other reps (Doug and Dan). Very sad day indeed, since I put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into the company.

I will say this ... Rich was a great idol for me and always treated me VERY fairly. Never once had a single problem with him. Great guy, and honestly treated me very well. Made a ton of other friends in the company as well. I'm happy for the opportunity with them and happy about my time there. Not happy about getting some bullsh-- copy/pasta email that everyone else got after all my years of service but so be it. Things happen.


At the end of the day it was a great run on Team Gaspari. Just wanted to fill you guys in.

Definitely sucks to hear and even worse it was all done via a generic email.

The supplement industry is in a strange place atm, sorry to hear that.

The supplement industry is in a strange place atm, sorry to hear that.

It sure is. I believe a lot of it has to due with COVID, while a lot of it has to do with the industry being flooded with hundreds of companies all selling the same 4 types of products (Pre, BCAA, Protein, Pump). Nothing is separating one company from another at this point.


And that doesn't even include retailers and Amazon and that whole angle either.

bummed for you man, sucks that they pull the plug like that on you, guys like you are difficult to find.

[Anthony21]

Sorry to hear about the bad news man. You were a great rep for Gaspari and did some good work.

I'm sure there are some great things ahead for you.

[smokinal]

Sorry to hear bro. Best of luck on your next venture!

[Iluvmud]

Sorry to hear man. You definitely had a good run. Keep your head up.

Yep. Sure is.

[sloop]

Word got out that Big Spaz doesn't even lift and ol Rich wasn't having any of that.

[TheFugitive]

Sorry to hear brother, you'll be back in the game

[Bigdumogre]

Damn that sucks and especially via a impersonal email. You served them gracefully for over a decade.

[danielmoo]

The times.. they are a ‘changin. It was fun, Spaz!

[Jdot5]

sorry that happened to you, Dan n Doug. yall were solid reps for the company. I know yall will do great things elsewhere

[OT2000]

I’m on the first active supp forum thread all year.


Sorry to hear Spaz. I’m still fukin your mom and you sister, Dan. No idea who Doug is, pretty ghey name for sure.

[Big_Spaz]

Thanks guys I appreciate all the kind words. Love you guys to death!

The timing just seems odd, with SuperPump Aggression set to launch soon we were getting a lot of names ready to sample it and make a big push for a relaunch of Superpump into today's Pre-Workout market.

Company seemed to be rebounding nicely, they were pumping out a ton of new products once again (which many companies are not doing) and seemed like things were going very well. I know it all comes down to dollars in vs dollars out, but for what we provided to the company (and the loyalty we have shown) we were honestly pocket change. So in the end it wasn't handled correctly at all.

Yeah man, i worked for a big investment company for over 12 yrs then got laid off due to "budget cuts" sucks as i thought that was the place i was going to retire at..... but one thing it has taught me is - never get comfortable cause youre only valuable until youre not......... loyalty means chit now-a-days.

[fahdalsheheata]

Sorry to hear man. Personally, I see Gaspari nutrition as a shady company these days even though i was a fan back in the day . Wish you the best.

[lucia316]

This. The Gram and, I'm sure TikTok here shortly, have their wannabe "influencers" that have zero clue, but hey, ignorance is bliss and the amount of it on the greatest gift to humanity, the internet, continues to grow by the day.

Sorry for you man. I felt pretty crappy about it when I got the email from MAN with the same basic line about becoming an influencer on IG instead. No thanks, Jeff. Know the feelz.

Sorry to hear it Spaz, you are one of the good guys.

It certainly is a weird time, I am sure Covid had something to do with it. I left Animal in December for an opportunity with Nutrabio but unfortunately that didn't work out and now I am a free agent and keep in mind this is my full time job so I am searching for my next opportunity. It's not a great time for that but it is what it is. You are a good guy and if I could ever give you a referral feel free to hit me up.

Thanks Eric I appreciate it man! Same here, if you ever need a reference please feel free to PM me and get all my contact information. You are a great guy, an incredible asset to the industry and someone else will be VERY lucky to have you on their team.

For me I don't think my days of supplement repping are going to continue. Industry is changing quite a bit, I'm getting older, enjoy training and not shilling and honestly Rich left a bad taste in my mouth. 12 years and zero loyalty, no thanks.

Damn dude. I remember you posting on here back in 2012-2013. Got me using some Animal/Universal products - actually have Fury in the cupboard now. Couldn’t imagine you not with Animal.

That was a big surprise with how short of a time it was with Nutrabio.
