In this episode of The Evolv Podcast, we sit down with Ben Ilacqua — martial artist, entrepreneur, founder of Shadow Fitness Club, and someone who has built multiple businesses from scratch without shortcuts or fluff. You’ve probably heard the saying, “most businesses fail within the first two years.”
Ben offers a different take: that the first two years aren’t when businesses fall apart — they’re when real businesses are made.We dive deep into Ben’s transformation from house painter to gym owner, and the mental battles that come with letting go of stability in pursuit of purpose. He shares what it actually takes to build something meaningful during those early, gritty years — when no one sees the effort, the outcomes aren’t sexy yet, and the pressure to quit is louder than the praise.This episode is about more than just business. It’s about identity, discipline, culture, and the mindset required to grow something real.
Ben opens up about how his martial arts background shaped his leadership style, how he navigates self-doubt and burnout, and how Shadow Fitness Club became a reflection of his values, not just a service.Whether you’re starting a business, running a team, or simply trying to show up better every day — this conversation will remind you that it’s not supposed to be easy… it’s supposed to build you.👉 Tap here to learn more or get started: dynamicrecov.com.au/offerCheck out his socials:Instagram: @benilacquaofficial@inspirationpaint_gregoryhills@[email protected] in touch:Email: [email protected]Instagram: @evolv_podcastYouTube: The Evolv PodcastTikTok: @evolv_podcastListen on Spotify: The Evolv PodcastListen on Apple Music: The Evolv Podcast
