YouTuber and Speed-Eater, Leah Shutkever On Why Her Appetite For Success Is Insatiable

The Steven Sulley Study Podcast

Leah Shutkever is a YouTuber and competitive eater whose unique brand of content has been taking the world by storm. Leah is the holder of 27 world titles in speed eating, but her rise to fame has also been blasted by some areas of the media, who accuse her of promoting gluttony.

In this episode, Steven talks to Leah, and finds out not just how she manages to consume so many calories at once, how she challenges the stereotypes surrounding the world of competitive eating, and also how she manages her increasingly popular public profile in the face of controversy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Competitive eating doesn't necessarily mean that practitioners gain weight. It's about managing the calories you take in and put them to good use.
• As your public profile rises so too does the pressure from audiences - in some cases negatively. It's an unfortunate place to be, but as your fame rises, so too do the trolls come out to play.
• Food is a place where we bond with others. It's a safe space in which we connect and inspire. Food should not be feared.
• The key to success is to love yourself and be comfortable in what you do. When you find peace in yourself, you create happiness.

BEST MOMENTS

'Food, to me, is a very important aspect of life'

'You do have to be very controlled in yourself and not panic'

'I have been trying to understand myself how people see competitive eaters'

'It opens up a floodgate of people assuming that you're a way you may not be'

ABOUT THE HOST

The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.

As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.

My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
