The Iron Edge

Some days you feel unstoppable. Other days you feel invisible.

In this episode, Ken talks about the reality of energy swings — the high-energy days where everything feels easy and the low-energy days where even simple tasks feel heavy. The goal isn’t chasing motivation, it’s building the discipline and routines that allow you to execute no matter how you feel.

Stack the days. Show up for both.

Iron Edge — Built Under Pressure.

Erin Murray joins Ken for a conversation about identity beyond performance, learning to step away from pressure, and what it means to keep evolving when you’ve already reached the top.

A multiple-time world champion, Erin has spent over a decade at the highest level of strongman. But this conversation goes deeper than titles. It’s about navigating life after proving yourself, redefining success, and learning how to embrace being a beginner again.

In this episode, Ken and Erin get into:

• Letting go of identity tied to winning

A raw conversation about growth, perspective, and what happens when you stop measuring your worth by outcomes.

Iron Edge — Built Under Pressure.

Ken opens up about the frustration and negativity that’s been building under the surface, and the moment it finally clicked, nothing was changing because he wasn’t actually addressing the problem.

It’s easy to sit in anger and let it spiral. Harder to stop, take ownership, and ask what actually needs to change.

In this episode, he breaks down how to use that anger and frustration as a signal, not a weakness. Why it means you care. And how to turn it into something productive instead of letting it tear things apart.

Because the real danger isn’t being angry. It’s getting to the point where you don’t feel anything at all.

Iron Edge — Built Under Pressure.

Brian Alsruhe joins Ken for a conversation about choosing pressure on purpose, and what it means to actually do hard things consistently.

Known for his intensity and unconventional approach to training, Brian has built a system around structure, intent, and embracing discomfort rather than avoiding it. This conversation looks at how that mindset carries beyond the gym into life, business, and personal standards.

In this episode, Ken and Brian get into:

• Choosing pressure instead of waiting for it

A direct conversation about standards, effort, and what it really takes to keep moving forward.

Iron Edge — Built Under Pressure.

Ken reflects on a period of drifting through life on autopilot and the realization that growth doesn’t happen without intention. When identity starts to blur — after competition, career shifts, or major life changes — rebuilding starts internally.

This episode looks at the quiet work of rebuilding self-respect, self-belief, and clarity by showing up when no one is watching.

Iron Edge — Built Under Pressure.

Joe Sullivan joins Ken for a conversation about identity, transition, and what training is really meant to build.

After reaching the top of powerlifting with multiple all-time world records, Joe is now navigating a different phase; one where training isn’t just about performance, but longevity, perspective, and how it carries into the rest of life.

In this episode, Ken and Joe get into:

• The shift from being defined by performance to participating with purpose

A conversation about growth, not just as an athlete, but as a person learning how to keep moving forward.

Iron Edge — Built Under Pressure.

Andrew Burton joins Ken for a conversation about pressure — in the firehouse and in strongman.

As a firefighter, Andrew works in an environment where responsibility isn’t optional and decisions carry real weight. The conversation looks at what that kind of career demands, especially when you’ve been carrying responsibility from a young age.

In this episode, Ken and Andrew get into:

• The reality of the fire service

• Growing up with early responsibility

• Strongman as a coping mechanism

• Training as structure rather than escape

• Identity outside of competition

A steady conversation about work, pressure, and the standards a person chooses to live by.
