Lets take a trip down memory lane with one of the dopest lifters in the game. Dwardly aka Debo takes us on a ride from his days in Haiti to moving to the US and graduating from the bodybuilding realm to the world of powerlifting. So much fun listen to a person with so much drive, discipline, and commitment to excellence. Weeks away from the Carolina meet we get to hear his plans and intentions of high level execution. Excited for you all to hear/watch this one! Enjoy.

A special episode! We have an opportunity to hear Chris Anderson's story of his mental health journey. Having the opportunity to hear moments stemming from early life misdiagnosis to suicidal thoughts to making decisions on medications...all of which are a part of his history and daily handling of his mental health. And we get to have a chance to understand the keys and points of support he uses to help himself stay ahead and on top of any mental struggle that comes his way. With June being Mens mental health awareness month, I felt it important to end the month on the most powerful not. An episode you def don’t want to miss

How does one take their dreams and make them into reality? Victor sits down with me and gives me the low down on how his "go get it" attitude has helped him excel within many different avenues of life. We take a trip down memory lane and track what got him from HS fb to College FB and ultimately to becoming a top powerlifter and professional wrestler. Definately a fun one!

From the heart of Haiti to the hill country of Texas! We had a chance to sit down an talk with one of the fastest rising heavyweights in the game. A soft spoken man with an otherworldly drive to be the best, Jonathan takes us on a trip down memory lane and gives us an insight on what got him Texas. We also. talk about his motivation and how his training and drive all changed to push him to be one of the best lifters in the game.

Imagine being able to travel the world doing what you love. Dancing!!! Imagine being from a South Texas town and ending up dancing and performing for millions. Having to ask yourself.. New York?.. Do I do Broadway? LA?... Do I tour and do the silver screen? .. so many choices!!! Well, we have a chance to hear Edson Juarez's story. What started off in S. Texas as a late blooming passion has taken him to the likes of So You Think You Can Dance , Magic Mike, Choreographing some of the most beautiful pieces and inspiring the next generations to (currently) touring with the one and only Ricky Martin. I guess you could say.. my boy can dance!

SSJBOB! One of the strongest dudes walking the powerlifting planet as we speak. Crazy thing is.. he's just getting started. We dive into his lifting habits and also take a trip into the mindset of one of the coldest lifters competing. Applauded for his accomplishments on the platform, many have no clue how mentally prepared and locked in this man is. You'll definitely appreciate what he brings to the table...along with his singing voice hahaha ..Enjoy!

We are back! After a little break we are bouncing back with the one and only Gabby Martinez. We sat down and talked about her recipe for success and her ability to prioritize her goals in life to create the best combo for success. We talk about her move to Powerlifting America and her future goals of hitting the world stage, all while being a high level coach and athlete. Not to mention a grad student in the middle of the toughest part of her schooling. Super woman!!! Enjoy the pod!

One of the coolest and most unique stories in strength sports. We get a chance to sit down and chat with Kseniya and get to know the mystery woman. We find out her likes and dislikes and what drives her as a lifter, competitor, and coach. We also have a chance to hear her story and journey from Ukraine to Texas , just how much love and sacrifice her mother for her family. Such an awesome story!

My man 50 grand Daniel H stops by the corner to talk in ins and outs of being a successful business owner.
