Welcome to the Strength Connection Podcast!

I’ve had some amazing conversations over the past few weeks, and in this episode I share my biggest takeaways on fitness, nutrition, movement, and technology from Aram Grigorian, Gray Cook, and Jason Moore.

As well, one question has sparked a big breakthrough for me on how to fuel everyday with the energy and enthusiasm to do the simple, consistent things that produce the greatest results.

Welcome to the Strength Connection Podcast!

On the 240th episode, Jason Moore, founder of Spren Technology joins me on the show.

From an early adopter of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in his coaching career to the creation of Spren, his work shows his dedication to making high-quality information about the body more accessible to more people. Through Spren, Jason is not just introducing new technology; he's on a mission to help consumers understand their health data and make meaningful connections to things that actually matter in the real world when it comes to our health.

Welcome to the Strength Connection Podcast!

This was another incredibly special episode. 

Gray Cook is the founder of the Functional Movement Systems, and one of the greatest minds in the world of strength, conditioning and rehabilitation.

Gray has been a pioneer of connecting the clinical and fitness worlds together with the FMS systems, and personally, is one of the main reasons I became a coach.

This conversation went in so many incredible directions, from the initial mission of the FMS assessment, to the business of movement, all the way to the evolutions of training over the years.

If you haven’t heard Gray speak before, sit back and enjoy. He is an absolute blast with an indescribable wealth of knowledge.

In the 238th episode, I am joined by Aram Grigorian, owner of 4 Weeks 2 The Beach Nutrition Coaching, Host of The Other Side Lifestyle Podcast and the Real Coaches Summit.

Aram has a no bullshit, honest approach when it comes to helping clients. His raw, real talk about customer service, and the ways to have great communication in the coaching world is incredibly insightful, and something that has been diluted in the service world.

Welcome to the Strength Connection Podcast.

This was a very special episode to record.

Not only do I absolutely love talking with these guys, but it was the first in person round table podcast I’ve gotten to do.

After the Mind the Gap workshop, instructed by Brett Jones, and hosted at DJ Wittekinds training gym, Queen City Kettlebell, I sat down with Brett, DJ, and Mark Subias to talk all aspects of strength.

Sharing the details of Mind the Gap, our personal journeys of starting strength, and the biggest evolutions in our own personal approaches to training and coaching.

I did not want this episode to end, and the time flew by in an instant.

So many insights from decades of experience here.

Check out more from Brett, DJ, and Mark on social media at their respective names, and make sure to check out more content from this weekend at Queen City Kettlebell.

Get ready to run through a wall after hearing this woman.

On the 235th episode, I am joined by Jaime Filer, coach, author, speaker, and Founder of Filer Fitness.

Jaime’s energy is so infectious, and the amount of knowledge and wisdom she shares in this episode is incredible.

In the 234th episode, my friend and colleague Artemis Scantalides comes back on the show after a couple very interesting and insightful years.

Artemis has been a successful coach in the strength and conditioning industry for 14 years, but in 2021, decided it was time for her to step away, and enter a new chapter of life outside of coaching. 

Now, after this experience, she has come back, and in this episode, we dove into what made her want to step away, what life is like in the corporate world for individuals in health, and what she is doing now to help support women transitioning into a new phase of their lives.

In the 233rd episode, Andrew Coates is back on the show to share his insights and wisdom into building a business and brand in the Fitness Industry. 

He is an international speaker and writer for major publications such as Muscle and Fitness, T-Nation, Kabuki Strength, and Men’s Health. Along with this, he still trains full-time with clients and hosts the popular podcast Lift Free and Diet Hard.

It’s been a bit since Andrew joined me, and since that time, his message and wisdom has massively expanded. His clear, concise, and authentic approach to connecting with others has been so admirable to see, and I asked him to come on to speak about building a brand the right way, balance in work and life, keys to effective communication, and staying true to yourself.
