It's been a whirlwind few weeks. The type of adversity that doesn't give a shit how much weight I can squat or deadlift. Living a STRONG Life transcends the weight on the bar.

That brings me to this point: I've done a LOT of great podcasts through the years and if you are a go getter, then Google them and dig in. I've seen many of these podcasts get unshared by the podcast … [Read more...]
