This week on S.A.N.E I got the chance to sit and chat with Stefi Cohen, C0-Founder and owner of HYBRID, 25x world record holding powerlifter and now amateur boxer. Stefi and I began the episode with her athletics, and talking about how her openness about anxiety correlated to stepping into a sport that is so new and different from powerlifting and what she knew she had to do to get past it. Most of the show was spent on business, and specifically being a woman in a high position and how the good and bad of the world has been seen through her eyes and experience with owning HYBRID. Stefi is extremely well rounded, articulate and professional and I highly recommend anyone starting or in business to look her up and listen to what she has to say. Also, some guest appearances by Hayden Bowe and Jake "Brutal" Bostwick! Enjoy.

This week we welcome in the trainer of "The People's Tight End" (George Kittle), Josh Cuthbert the founder of Alpha Strength. Josh is most known for being the guy building that crazy machine, George Kittle, in San Francisco but has a cool story of how it all happened which we went into. We get to discuss the recent TE University 3 day summit that he was apart of with all TEs from around the league, how he works with professional athletes vs general population and we even get into some things about the industry itself that may piss some people off. Josh is smart, driven, and most importantly REAL. This was a great show and I can't wait to get down to Nashville to show those boys how to deadlift! Enjoy.

Bobby Stroupe: CEO/Founder of APEC Training, former Professional Athlete (Arena Football CB/WR), Speaker, Leader, Coach and Entrepreneur, joined me on this episode to talk about his company APEC and how it became what it is today working with thousands of atheltes from the elementary/middle school ages all the way up to professional athletes! Bobby gives great insight on some of the hurdles that he went through in developing this company and having such a specific niche to fill, also how those specificities somewhat happened accidentally. We also talk about the obvious, Patrick Mahomes, and how Bobby saw greatness in him at such an early age, and dive into some of my hometown White Sox that he works with as well! We finish with some IG questions for some fun. This has gems in it for anyone running a training business whether it is new or a veteran place. Enjoy this one!

"Let Your Game Speak" is the motto of this episode with Dr Jen Welter, known mostly as the first female to coach in the NFL. Dr Welter not only reached the pinnacle of football being in the NFL but also holds a PHD in psychology and a Master's in sports psychology, as well as being an author and speaker. We got to talk about her story of getting to the NFL and having success, being a trailblazer not only for women but for anyone who sees something they want, to go out and get it. Dr Welter also answers some fan questions and gives us her message to the world, "Let Your Game Speak" in all aspects of life. Enjoy!

This week on S.A.N.E, I sit down with 2x SuperBowl Champion and former Pittsburgh Steeler, Bryant McFadden. Bryant is currently a CBS analyst for the NFL as well as the co-host of All Things Covered podcast with Patrick Peterson. We discuss his football career in both college at FSU and in the NFL, but spend most of the show talking about areas outside of football including: Bryant's media career, mental health in sports and more. Give a listen, and hear from a former NFL champion on how to prepare for life after football.

Yes THE Massenomics, so you know when two shows about nothing collide, it just absolutely sucks! But hey, we suck so that you don't have to. Tanner was awesome and it was cool to hear the story of Massenomics as a brand not just the podcast or apparel side indivdually, the boys have been at this for 5 years so let's just say this is royalty here folks, the Sultan of Western North East South Dakota was here! Thanks big T, let's do it again soon!

Angelo Fortino, the host of 2 White Lights, joined me on the show to talk about the sport of powerlifting ad its continued quest for legitimacy and exposure. We also dive into some talks on PEDs in sports, as he and I have different opinions it was great to have a back and forth and understand each other's side. Lastly, food, and being Italian because why the fuck not!?

The owners of Surge To New Levels gym, Jackie & Sergio Luna, joined me to talk about their journey as gym owners from the start of their facility in a 2500sq ft facility to now having 12,000sq feet of strength sports heaven. We talk about them running competitions, expanding to new areas of fitness and the monetization/production value increase in strength sports over the last handful of years. Serge and Jackie are great examples of what it takes to be successful gym owners, and soon to be new parents!
