Learning, Leading & The Importance of Relative Strength w/ Max Artsis
This is episode 17 and our guest today is Max Artsis.
Max is a coach, trainer and speaker based in Los Angeles. In his own words, Max is fortunate to train gold medal Olympians, and athletes in the NFL, MLB, WNBA, NBA, and NCAA. He spent 6 years at Nike World Headquarters, including time as the Nike Master Trainer Network Lead, was the Director of Sport Science and Education for Rokke Performance Therapy, and continually keynotes for companies/conferences globally. He is endlessly fascinated with the psychology of sport, and how the holistic picture of the human behind the athlete affects performance.
In this episode we speak about Max’s definition of strength and the importance he places on the concept of “relative strength” both in the gym and in life, and we talk at length about the concept of “staying in your lane” does more harm than good in the health and fitness industries. There is a whole lot more to this conversation but... you'll just have to listen!

Action Plan
Your action plan for the week this week is this - I want you to reflect on where you are in your career. How long have you been in the field? How invested are you in the pursuit of greatness within this field? And then ask - is it time to go an inch wide and a mile deep in one area of this field? Have I done the work to become a great generalist? Someone who can move from one conversation to the next and feel competent and confident about most any topic within this field? If the answer is yes, then the next step is actually fairly simple - You already know which portion of the industry you are most passionate about; it’s the one your mind wanders too, the one you already enjoy learning about and wish you had more time for. Well, the time is now - go all in and dive deep, it’s time to become a specialist!
