Action Steps Podcast

Joe Boffi (Co-Founder Catalyst S.P.O.R.T., Fighter, fellow Comic Book Geek) joins me for ep77 of the Coach Fury Podcast!

Along with previous guests Kathy Dooley (ep6) and Jason Kapnick (ep49), Joe is a co-founder of Catalyst S.P.O.R.T. in Midtown, NYC. He’s also a buddy that has X-Men tattoos. We had an awesome conversation about what drew us into comic books, our favorite superheroes, the formation of Catalyst S.P.O.R.T., how they built an amazing team of coaches, discovering martial arts, his drive to keep fighting and more.

I do all of my training either at Fury Industries in Brooklyn or at Catalyst S.P.O.R.T. in Midtown. They host many of my courses in NYC and are who I turn to for business help and perspective.

This crew is family and I love getting to chat with them.

Last week’s guest was my wife Kim Holiner. I’d like to take a moment to recognize the passing of Frank W. Darmstadt. You will be missed Frank. I'll take care of Kim (though we know she can take care of herself). Rest in peace.

Today, 2/25, also marks the fifth anniversary since my close friend Lance Turnbow passed on. I still think about you all the time brother. Your Red Fang hoodie is safe with me.

I had an amazing chat with my gem of a friend, Elizabeth Smith Andrews (DVRT, TRX & BOSU Master Instructor, Motivational Speaker, Bully Breed Supporter) for ep74!

We talk about the pitfalls and progress she's witnessed in fitness over her 30 years in the field, bucking trends for results, how we met through Josh Henkin’s DVRT program, the importance of making direct human connections, our love of pitbulls and more.

Our fourth guest ever, Kristin Callahan (Strength Faction Vet, Fellow Strong Islander), returns for ep70!

This episode is a great example of what I hope this show can be, two friends processing their thoughts while talking. Open, sometimes a bit dark, honest and real.

Kristin and I discuss the fear, uncertainty and necessity of changing a situation you’re unhappy with, false perceptions of “success” in the fitness world, our coinciding social media purges, the difference between imitating and making something your own and much more.

If you’d like to train with Kristin, email her at: [email protected].
