Rob grew up playing and loving a variety of sports. However, in high school, he excelled at lifting weights. In fact, his first deadlift was over 500 pounds, and within a few months, he was already competing in strongman competitions. He quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the premiere strongmen in the county (where? In the world?) and began setting records. With his success in what's often considered one of the most masculine sports in the world, Rob felt he wasn't being true to himself and those around him. In 2014 he built up the courage to come out, the first professional strongman to do so. As you'll hear, this was far from easy for Rob. There was a constant fear about what his parents, friends, fellow competitors, and the world would think of him. Taking the road less traveled is never easy, especially when you're the one who has to blaze the trail. Today, we will hear Rob's story and experience of living without compromise and how the weight we carry is not always made of iron and steel.

Here's one from the archives (we're back with new episodes next week!). Today we're wrapping up our mini-series with elite strongwoman athletes. Hanna Coldiron is the 2021 world's 7th strongest woman under 64kg, and she's looking to better that result later in 2022. Hanna wears a lot of hats: athlete and contest promoter, in addition to working a full time job outside of strength athletics. She also got her start in CrossFit (a bit like multi-time World's Strongest Man competitor Rob Kearney), and hearing her take on transitioning sports was eye-opening. If you've ever wanted to hear from a top strongman competitor in the lighter bodyweight categories — or are considering getting involved in the sport yourself — this is a great episode to listen to all the way through!

In addition to working with various groups like Disney Parks, she has published several graphic novels and picture books. Her latest graphic novel, Super Boba Cafe, will be released on October 24, 2023.  We had a chance talk to her about how she honed her artistic style by drawing an illustration every day for three years on her site Everyday Love. We also discussed her other graphic novels Pashmina, Jukebox, and the Shark Princess series. It was a fun conversation that also included talking about the San Diego Comic Con, her published work, the importance of researching music and civil rights for Jukebox, some of the things she's reading, and so much more.  Other than the graphic novels mentioned, we recommend seeking out her other work including the touching picture book she wrote and illustrated called What Will My Story Be? She has illustrated books for other writers including I Will Be Fierce (written by Bea Birdsong), Binny's Diwali (written by Thrity Umrigar), Kong and Me (written by Kiki Thorpe), and Strong (written by Rob Kearney) which won the American Library Association Stonewall Honor.

Eric Rosswood shares Strong, a picture book biography co-authored with Rob Kearney and illustrated by Nidhi Chanani. Strong is a fresh, charming picture book that shows there are lots of ways to be STRONG.   BOOK DESCRIPTION: Strong by Rob Kearney and Eric Rosswood; illustrated by Nidhi Chanani   A Stonewall Honor Book!   Strong is a fresh, charming picture book that shows there are lots of ways to be STRONG.   Rob dreams of becoming a champion strongman. He wants to flip huge tires, lug boulders, and haul trucks -- and someday be the strongest man in the world! But he feels like he can't fit in with his bright leggings, unicorn T-shirts, and rainbow-dyed hair. Will Rob find a way to step into his true self and be a champion?   With bold illustrations and an engaging, informative text, Strong introduces readers to Rob Kearney and his journey from an athletic kid trying to find his place to the world's first openly gay professional strongman. NOTABLE QUOTES:   (6:12) “There's a lot of ways we can be strong. And there are a lot of different places we can pull our strength from, and get our strength.”   (9:04) “And for me, growing up as a kid, in high school I was always last picked for sports. I was openly gay in high school. And I think that that came with a lot of people believing that I wouldn't be good at sports. I wouldn't be strong. And because of that it was like I didn't have that place. So I never put myself forward in that place.”   (13:35) “We can all be strong in our own ways, but sometimes we can help other people be strong just by being there for them and helping them through their own challenges.” (14:46) “We also need to see real life people as role models being open about who they are and thriving in life.”   (15:30) “We don't know we can do something because we've never seen it done before. We don't know openly queer people can do things if we've never seen them do those things before.” (15:43) “Having those role models in literature for kids to see is very important. One, for those kids who are LGBTQ themselves. They can see that and they can strive to those goals. But also for people who are not part of the LGBTQ community, they can see queer people doing things as well, and I think that can help break a lot of stereotypes.” (17:04) “I think just that we're all strong in our own unique ways. We all get our strength from different areas. And sometimes it may feel like we're not strong, but I think it's important to remember that when we stick to remembering who we are and being true to yourself, you are strong and you can do anything as long as you stay true to yourself.”   ADDITIONAL LINKS: Eric Rosswood website - ericrosswood.com Rob Kearney, first openly gay Pro ‘Strongman,' on personal challenges and victories - Nightline (ABC News) Purchase the Book - Strong TALK ABOUT THE EPISODE: How do you define “strong”? Who is someone in your life (yourself included) that you consider strong? How would you describe how strength looks in this person? Do you have any outfits or pieces of clothing that make you feel more like yourself? What do these items look like? Why do you think they're special to you? What is something you hope to accomplish at some point in your life? Has anyone ever accomplished this before? What steps can you take to help lead you to your goal?

Plus, Sean and Tommy experience a 5.1 magnitude earthquake live on air!

Today we're wrapping up our mini-series with elite strongwoman athletes. Hanna Coldiron is the 2021 world's 7th strongest woman under 64kg, and she's looking to better that result later in 2022. Hanna wears a lot of hats: athlete and contest promoter, in addition to working a full time job outside of strength athletics. She also got her start in CrossFit (a bit like multi-time World's Strongest Man competitor Rob Kearney), and hearing her take on transitioning sports was eye-opening. If you've ever wanted to hear from a top strongman competitor in the lighter bodyweight categories — or are considering getting involved in the sport yourself — this is a great episode to listen to all the way through!

Rob Kearney - World renowned Strongman and newest member of HWPO joins the show to discuss his fitness and personal journey. You can checkout Rob: on IG at instagram.com/worlds_strongest_gay HWPO at hwpotraining.com/programs/hwpo-strong

It's the last pod of the season so Ugo and Chris pick their World XV based on what we saw during the summer Test series. They discuss what positives Wales can take from their tour of South Africa, what went wrong for Scotland in Argentina, and if England have found their identity again. Ireland legend Rob Kearney joins the pod to reflect on Ireland's series win in New Zealand. He also gives us an insight into why the class of 2019 struggled after topping the world rankings and what they could have done differently.

We had our friend Rob Kearney, an openly gay Professional Strongman on the podcast and we were floored at how terrible the comments were on the podcast and each video that followed after. We had to address it.

Rob Kearney is one of the top strongman competitors in the world. He recently took 5th place and the 2022 Arnold Strongman Classic and is currently getting ready to compete at World's Strongest Man in May. He also happens to be a self-professed CrossFit nerd. Rob talks about what it's like to train for strongman competitions, how CrossFit led him to his strongman career, his decision to come out as gay in 2014, and how that decision has led him to become one of the leading advocates for the LGBTQ community.

Rob Kearney is the world's first openly gay professional strongman. He's also the co-author of the children's book "Strong," along with writer Eric Rosswood, and illustrator Nidhi Chanani.
