    Chandler and I connected first on IG after coming across a post of his that went viral: “Strong, Shredded, or Natty? Pick two.” We ended up exchanging some DM's and I asked him on a podcast date; so here it is. Turns out he and I had a ton in common. Competitive powerlifter/ strength athlete, coach, and owner of @BackyardBarbell out in San Jose, California. Chandler and I share a lot of perspectives. We went for close to 3 hours and chose to cut it there because we could have went for another three. Looking forward to connecting w Chandler in the near future.

    On this episode of The TOPStrenghCast, I got to sit down with my coach and the man behind @MSTsystems, Shane Jerman. After putting on a great shoulder stab (stability) seminar @thetopstrengthproject, we got on the mic and spoke about what was covered in the seminar, the importance of and how to apply context when building programs for different athletes, rehab, movement prep, and Shane's personal journey first joining a gym to improve his kickboxing before being introduced to strongman. He immediately became enamored by all things strongman, learning everything he could while connecting with the other top athletes in Europe. This eventually led to the start of MST, and the rest is history. Similar to the seminar, there is a ton of valuable take away concepts and lessons in this episode; so, ENJOY! Thanks guys.

    This episode I had the opportunity to talk with Eric Dawson: Owner of Titan Barbell, mentor, coach, husband, father, and role model to many. Eric is extremely well spoken and I really enjoyed this conversation. As it turns out, he and I share very similar backgrounds: both high-school and college athletes, grew up working multiple trade/ labor jobs, and both ended up training in a corporate gym setting not because it was something we necessarily planned to do, but needed where our previous jobs were no longer feasible. After spending the first half an hour discussing that process, we talk about getting involved in Strength Sports, again, both at 27. In Eric's case, getting involved in competing is what led to him starting Titan out of his garage and eventually expanding to their current location in Stoneham.

    On this episode, I have my second sit down with Ken of Cerberus Strength. I saw Ken share a post on his social media that he was struggling with his identity. He competed at a high level in strongman for many years. It was a huge part of his life. Eventually, as other aspects of life came into the fray, coupled with injuries that had accumulated from pushing so hard for so long, the fire that once motivated him to train and compete wasn't there anymore. He and I talk about the valuable lessons we've learned over the years of burning the candle at both ends, and sometimes in the middle. The power of reflection, community, purpose, and basically realizing that there's more to life than just being an athlete. There are also many other ways we can still contribute to the strength community through other endeavors.

Jon and Holly are both authentic examples of owning their own bullshit, putting it aside to seek solutions and work towards becoming their best selves while having an impact on others along the way.
