Joe Sullivan is a powerlifter and coach. Early this year, he became a partner at Pinnacle Performance in Columbus, Ohio…just in time for the pandemic to cause a wave of temporary gym closures. Joe shares the story of how he came to be involved in, and an owner of, the gym, and how it became a party to a lawsuit that allowed gyms to open a bit sooner than promised in Ohio. Some details are also in this news report. Business aside, we talk about his lifting and his goals. If you’re not aware of Joe’s accomplishments as a powerlifter, check them out here: openpowerlifting.org Finally, we spent a few minutes reinforcing an important message seeking help for mental health challenges.   You can find Joe at his website joesullivanpowerlifting.com and on Instagram @joesullivanpowerlifter.
