All I’m saying is Samson is fucking awesome and he’ll never forget who put him on when not a single other sponsor even looked his way. Especially after seeing the last BB&B episode. Let’s go Mr Olympia 2023 Samson Dauda!!!!!!!!!

[@FouadAbiad]

Facts.

[@davee7344]

I think Samson is hurting feelings , these athletes know Samson is top 5 at Olympia this year and maybe top 2, he will demand the booth and will get it, Fouiad tries to be fair but egos sometimes have a tendency to overtake people’s friendships, Samson is humble and will be rewarded in a big way

[@MariusMitrache]

Guys! There are 4 sides of the story here and most guys that comment only see one. 1. The fan side: what entertains you, what you wanna see, what’s good for you. 2. The brand, Hosstile, what moves the brand forward. A brand needs exposure, needs great people to align with it’s style and image, people that put in the work when asked, and preferably to go the extra mile. Extra mes bring extra cash in time, but most guys don’t get that. 3. Fouad, people that he feels a bond with. If you noticed, if he sees potential AND likes the character he brings them on the team, it’s never one without the other. 4. The sponsored athlete side of the story. Competitors / influencers want to get the best deal with the least amount of work. It rarely works like that. If you are the very best but with zero social media or a very weak presence, you generate no traffic / no sales, you bring low value. That’s why guys / girls that don’t compete but keep a big social media presence, engage and have built a community will make many times more than competitors. But they put in the work daily, and for some competitors whose few stories or posts a month are just too much. When it comes to supporting competitors, the best things you can do to help them level up their financial game is use their promo codes. If sales are generated on their codes, they can negociate better terms when the contract expires even if they jump brands. Placings matter, but mostly for the very elite, below that, sales matter so much more. Peace ✌🏼

[@triggtotheer7436]

I am glad Fouad addresses stuff like this. Really clears up anything and takes away the “drama” from stuff like this when an owner is open and honest about athletes leaving.

[@savagelentegas5615]

Thank you for explaining Fouad, we appreciate it, I don’t think any owner is this open or even open up to their followers/audience/customers

Even tho Samson is the future of such big things I feel he is loyal the way u are and I don’t see him Leaving like Justin did I never saw him leaving he was always so thankful how lenient u were when he was in prep he has no idea what other companies expect with posts and shows ect I thought her really appreciated how good I treated him he always voiced it so I’m so confused

Needless to say, as I'm sure basically every single one of us fans of the brand and podcast will agree, this is a definite blow because Justin was such a likable and enjoyable person to "get to know" through the broadcasts, and Nate seemed like a great guy as well .. BUT .. as we saw with Brett and Nick, while it sucked at the time (and I'm still a big fan of both of them), the Hosstile brand will ONLY GET BIGGER AND BETTER MOVING FORWARD! I truly believe that, Fouad! You have great products, the Number 1 podcast in bodybuilding, and most importantly, you and the brand have INTEGRITY! Looking forward to all future podcasts and products from Hosstile! Onward and upward!! 💪👍

[@matt_gunz]

My opinion, I would keep athletes and friends on the podcast separate, like the relationship you have with Ian and James. As much as I would love to see those 2 on hostile, I’m glad they aren’t. I hate that if athletes decide to leave hostile, they also tend to disappear from the podcast which is their personal choice. We get to grow to like them and then they’re gone. That is just my opinion, I know this isn’t easy for you Fuaid. I’ll always support and be a fan of the podcast and brand.

[@davidgrams8368]

Wow shocked at this news especially with Justin. He seemed a real natural fit with you and the brand. I hope to see him around on the show in the future!

All In all out of 20 ppl i have friendships only 2 are willing to be there for me emotionally or actually want me to get back into bodybuilding. The only reason I stopped was because my mentor/ coach died in the middle of my first prep. R.I.P SEAN...

There’s a trend here. People who leave Hosstile are the “trendy” ones: the ones who like talking about Jordan sneakers, who have girlfriends who look like typical instagram girls, who care a bit too much about being trendy. Nick, Nathan, Brett and now Justin all fit that category. I think Fouad should see this pattern and understand that his leadership and his branding may not fit these kind of dudes. I love Hosstile and I’m sure it will be earning millions and millions in the coming years, but the branding doesn’t fit everyone. These dudes who leave want to be with a owner who also loves sneakers and who wear Balenciagas and shit like that

I hope the good message and intentions of this are not lost… you are highly complimentary of both Nate and Justin, respectful, and allowing the story to not be muddied up by gossip. Thank you.
