Send us a textIn this powerful episode of Walk 2 Wealth, I sit down with Delaney Wallace — a two-time IPF World Champion powerlifter, business consultant, and proudly dubbed “The World's Strongest CFO.” We dive into Delaney's jaw-dropping journey that includes surviving a near-death experience as a child, a career in finance and business consulting, and his unshakable drive to live life without limits.Delaney shares how being a pastor's kid shaped his philosophical lens, why storytelling is at the heart of communication, and how he connects with people from all walks of life — from CEOs to street hustlers. We also get into the deeper mindset work: how to make people feel understood, why sales is just solving problems as a team, and why the illusion of choice can make or break your business.This episode is packed with lessons on perspective, resilience, and the belief that “there are no rules”—only the ones you decide to break.
In this episode, Mike Tuchscherer and Gaby Muller welcome coach Adam Jones and special guest Elliott Sykes, 2024 IPF World Champion. Elliot shares his journey in powerlifting, from starting at age 15 to breaking multiple world records. The discussion delves into his training strategies, overcoming challenges, and the impact of social media on his lifting career. They offer their perspectives on developing effective training programs and managing the complexities of peak performance. This episode is a deep dive into the nuanced world of competitive powerlifting, the importance of adaptability, and the value of strong coach-athlete relationships.

Here's a super-popular (and super-relevant) one from our archives. Today we're talking to 11-time IPF World Champion and Hall of Fame powerlifter Jen Thompson. Summarizing ALL of Jen's accomplishments in strength in a quick intro is frankly impossible. She's one of powerlifting's all-time greats and still very much a dominant force in the sport, both when competing on the platform and through her contributions as an organizer and advocate. We talk about Jen's current training and programming split, her favorite accessory movements for a legendary bench press, and how powerlifting has changed over her 20 plus years in the sport. We also talk about where there's still room for improvement, especially on the international level.

We are joined by the reigning 76kg world champion and now the strongest deadlifter on the women's side of the IPF, fresh after returning from the 2022 IPF worlds in South Africa. Jessica came away with a squat and deadlift world record, the latter of which she had to pull in order to win, tying the equipped IPF champion Agata Sitko, beating her on bodyweight, who had thrown her hat into the ring at classic worlds. What did Jess's build-up look like? How was the cut? How did nearly two days of travel impact her performance? How do Eric and Jess operate as coach and athlete? And how did having two of her protein bars stolen by monkeys impact her mental state? Join us to learn all of the above!
