Coach Pat Damiano is a former CrossFitter and powerlifter who’s now built a reputation as a leader in kettlebell and club training for real-world strength and longevity.

We talk about why he walked away from barbell-centric training, how unconventional tools like kettlebells and heavy clubs have transformed his performance on the mat, and how minimalist strength work carries over into life—and business.

We also dive into:

• Common myths about kettlebells
• The real benefits of club training
• Strength protocols that actually transfer to BJJ
• Why mental discipline matters more than motivation
• How physical training supports entrepreneurship

This one’s packed with practical advice, mindset insight, and lessons on building strength that lasts.
