"I was always talking it up and lamenting with others when it went on hiatus," he recalled. "It was built to serve a giant void that existed in the men's market, and now, more than a decade later, that void is even more evident." After hearing that another company had purchased the dormant Best Life brand from Rodale, Zinczenko reached out to the new owners and voiced his interest in helping to revive it.
