Episode 77:
In this episode of Raw & Relentless, Bo DePaoli sits down with Ed Coan, widely regarded as the greatest powerlifter of all time.
Ed dominated the sport for decades, setting records that still stand and redefining what long-term excellence looks like. But this conversation goes far beyond numbers on a platform.
Ed breaks down how mastery is built, not just in powerlifting, but in business, health, and life through discipline, patience, and an uncompromising focus on fundamentals.
This is a wide-ranging, grounded conversation that explores:
● Why most success comes from simple fundamentals done well
● How training principles translate directly to business and life
● The importance of planning, setup, and consistency
● Why shortcuts eventually break people
● Learning your own strengths instead of copying others
● Longevity, recovery, and staying healthy after elite performance
● What really separates great performers from everyone else
This episode isn’t about hype, motivation, or nostalgia.
It’s about process, personal responsibility, and doing the work long enough for it to matter.
