Throughout his career, he has sold several hundred thousand orders on his website with digital products such as eBooks and templates. Nick has also turned his coaching business into a tech company by developing an app. This top-rated app was programmed to focus on diet and nutrition with filters for people eating grain-free, gluten-free, vegan, Paleo, and other specific diets, and also includes a barcode scanner so people can scan in their favorite foods.
Nick has built a strong presence for Renaissance Periodization on Facebook, where the brand has over 132,224 followers, and on Instagram, where it has 620,000 followers. That incredible reach has given him a natural market for his tech products.
