Be Empowered With His Strength. For every born again Christian, Jesus Christ Must be the strength of their life, otherwise much of their life is a dismal failure. Only in Christ and His strength can we depend. In any kind of trouble the Lord is our fortress. In any kind of distress the Lord is our comfort. In any kind of need the Lord is our provider. If we constantly wait upon the Lord and are obedient to Him, His strength becomes our strength and our battle becomes His battle. In doing this we are assured of overcoming victory in Him. Don't try to win in your own strength but claim His strength as your own.

What's keeping you stuck isn't your habits — it's your identity. In this episode of the One Second of Strength Podcast, host Tanner Clark breaks down why the brain defaults to familiar over better, even when familiar is painful, and why the only way forward is to shed the identity that got you here for the identity that will get you there.Tanner walks through five things you need to let go of right now: shrinking yourself to fit the insecurities of people around you, the comfort of familiar pain, the old stories you keep telling yourself, waiting for the perfect moment, and hiding your gifts under the guise of humility. Each one is quietly keeping you from the life you were built for.If you're ready to stop playing small, stop waiting, and start becoming the person you know you're capable of being — this episode is for you.

Did you know that if a pilot takes off from Los Angeles headed to New York just one degree off course, they'll land 40 miles from where they were supposed to be? That's not New York — that's Connecticut. Just a one degree difference.In this week's episode of the One Second of Strength Podcast, host Tanner Clark, talks about the small degree that can make or break our life. It's not the one missed workout. Not the one morning you skipped your routine. That first mile off course — it doesn't derail you. It doesn't ruin your life. It's the next mile, and the next mile, and the next mile after that. It's staying one degree off and never correcting. That's what puts you somewhere you never intended to go.We're talking today about where you've gotten a little off course — your habits, your goals, the things you said you were going to do — and what it looks like to shift back. Not overhaul your whole life. Not do all the things at once. Just one thing today that gets you pointed back in the right direction.Because the same compounding that takes you off course works the other way too. One right action, repeated over and over again, is how you get to where you want to go.

On this episode of the Business of Strength Podcast, Dan Goodman covers why gym owners misuse money and what to do instead. After working with gym owners for 7+ years, one thing is clear: our industry has a strange relationship with money. Coaches sell with their own wallet in mind, undercharge, and hesitate to raise rates even as costs rise. Instead of fixing pricing, gym owners start cutting coaching hours, marketing, education, and services—stepping over dollars to pick up pennies. In this episode, Dan breaks down why underpricing is the real issue, why you can't cost cut your way to growth, and how to start using money as a tool to buy time, invest in people, and scale what's working. The less emotional you are about money, the better it works for you.  Support our Sponsors of the Show:TurnKey Coach https://turnkey.coach/business-of-str...

What an outstanding discussion with Stonelifting phenomenon Liam Brown. In a little over two years, Liam has become an incredible lifter and one of the most impressive stone carriers on the planet, having carried the legendary Húsafell for nearly TWO full laps. A hugely impressive accomplishment for any human being, but being a sub 90kg body weight athlete, that is an otherworldy feat of strength (and we know he will get the full two laps (and further) soon). Another layer to Liam's awesomeness is how openly and enthusiastically he shares training and lifting tips with others as a means of helping other new lifters benefit from the learnings he has acquired over the years!!! We are also very excited to introduce our new segment Community Corner, where we open up topics to input from the entire community in an effort to capture and share more stories directly from those that have experienced them (all of you!)!!! Together we rise!

On this episode of the Business of Strength Podcast, Dan Goodman breaks down why gyms owners delay or handle price increases emotionally. In this episode, we cover when a price increase is earned, the metrics that should be in place first, and how to communicate it clearly and professionally.• Price increases should reflect strong demand and consistent value, not solve short-term cash flow issues.• Metrics to have in place:– 70%+ trial conversion– 95%+ retention– 70%+ session capacity– Current clients have not recently received a rate increase• If sessions aren't full, fix utilization before raising prices. Retention remains the clearest indicator of value.• Executing the letter: keep it simple, direct, and respectful. Acknowledge loyalty, state the new rate and effective date, and express appreciation. The goal is clarity, not persuasion.• Reminder: Trainer Empire — March 7th & 8th, London, England.

Anxiety feels like a storm—your chest tightens, thoughts race, and your brain forecasts worst-case scenarios. But what if the way you're trying to escape anxiety is actually keeping you stuck in it longer?In this episode of The One Second of Strength Podcast, we explore the powerful metaphor of the buffalo and the storm.

It was an absolute pleasure to connect with strength athlete and author extraordinaire Alyssa Ages and have such an insightful and enlightening chat for Episode 24! Alyssa is someone who jumped into the strength world with both feet and has found significant purpose in not only developing her own physical capabilities, but also in helping the broader public understand why so many of us find intense meaning and reward in our pursuit of strength.In her book, "Secrets of Giants: A Journey to Uncover the True Meaning of Strength" (which we highly recommend you all check out!), Alyssa did a phenomenal job in conveying her own journey of self-discovery through strength while also shining a light on the incredibly kind and communal nature of the strength community, and highlighting the stories of many of the strongest competitors to have walked this Earth. She compassionately conveyed how, beneath the slabs of hard-earned mass and indominable exteriors, there are human beings that have sought to armour themselves with strength as a means of growing beyond periods of vulnerability in their lives, unmasking a relatability that is seldom showcased in the world of Strongman.Alyssa has also been a fantastic advocate for Stonelifting, relaying both its rich history and the intensely rewarding experience of hoisting heavy rocks within her book, but also in broadening its viewership through authoring Stonelifting centric articles in world-class magazines and newspapers!Thank you, Alyssa, for all you have done to help document and grow the incredible practice of Stonelifting and its community!

Where does real wisdom actually come from?In this episode of The One Second of Strength Podcast, we explore why wisdom isn't intelligence—it's experience, and why so many of life's most important lessons are learned through failure, not school or success.Using a personal story with his daughter, Tanner breaks down:Why parents are often right—not because they're perfect, but because they've been wrong beforeHow failure and life experience create wisdom faster than knowledge aloneWhy teens naturally resist advice during identity formationHow parents can share wisdom without sounding controllingThe difference between learning through scars and learning through borrowed experienceThis episode is for growth-minded parents who want to guide without lecturing, and teenagers who want independence without unnecessary regret.You'll learn:Why wisdom comes from experience, not IQHow to shorten your learning curve by listeningWhen failure is necessary—and when it's optionalHow humility accelerates personal growthYou're allowed to learn the hard way.But if someone offers you wisdom they paid for with experience, this episode challenges you to listen—before you have to learn it yourself.RATE: Leave a 5 Star Rating for the show!

Why does motivation feel harder than ever—even when you want more for your life?In this episode of The One Second of Strength Podcast, Tanner Clark breaks down the hidden cost of cheap dopamine—the instant rewards we get from phones, social media, scrolling, gaming, and constant entertainment.This isn't about laziness or lack of discipline.It's about how our brains are being trained to avoid discomfort—and how that slowly reshapes our identity.Tanner explains:Why cheap dopamine feels good now but steals confidence laterHow avoiding discomfort rewires the brain to quit earlyWhy motivation doesn't come before action—it comes afterThe small, powerful choice that begins rebuilding self-respect and mental strengthThis episode is especially relevant for teens, parents, and educators who are seeing rising anxiety, lower resilience, and a growing fear of hard things.You don't need to overhaul your life.You need one moment where you don't chase the easy reward.RATE: Leave a 5 Start rating for the showSHARE: Who is ONE person who needs this today?SUBSCRIBE: Never miss another episode.

In this episode of the Business of Strength Podcast, Dan Goodman breaks down how his organization runs year-end reviews and why the process has been so effective as the company has grown.The review is done in two parts. First, a self-review led by the team member to create ownership, clarity, and alignment. Second, a compensation review that reinforces expectations and removes uncertainty around performance and pay.Dan also discusses the two factors that truly drive growth in training businesses: the ability to generate consistent leads and the ability to lead humans well. While most gyms focus on marketing, this episode highlights why leadership systems are just as critical.This two-part review process has improved retention, strengthened leadership, and increased fulfillment across the team, making it a practical framework for any gym owner managing a growing staff.Get tickets for our upcoming events:https://trainerschool.businessofstrength.com/ (https://trainerschool.businessofstrength.com/)https://london.businessofstrength.com/ (https://london.businessofstrength.com/) Support our Sponsors of the Show:TurnKey Coach https://turnkey.coach/business-of-strength/Ignite Entrepreneurs https://ignite-entrepreneurs.comSimmons Mediahttps://simmonsmedia.co/ Naamly https://www.naamly.com/

What does real strength actually look like for teenagers today?In this episode of The Second of Strength Podcast, Tanner breaks down the 5 Pillars of Strength that help teens (and adults) build confidence, emotional resilience, and long-term success — without pretending life is easy.This isn't about being tough all the time.It's about learning how to use one second of strength when it matters most.Courage – Doing the hard thing even when fear is loudVulnerability – Being real instead of pretending you're fineEmpathy – Understanding others without losing yourselfResilience – Getting back up when life knocks you downConsistency – Small daily actions that build real confidence over timeRather than trying to “fix everything,” Tanner challenges listeners to choose just one or two pillars and start there.One second of courage.One honest conversation.One small act of consistency.If you've ever felt overwhelmed, behind, or unsure of yourself — this episode gives you a new definition of strength and a practical way to start building it today.This episode offers language you can use at home to talk about strength, confidence, and emotional growth — without lectures or pressure.Why strength isn't about perfection or confidenceHow one second of courage can change your directionWhich pillar to focus on when life feels heavyHow small habits quietly build unshakable resilienceWhy vulnerability is not weakness — it's leadershipYou don't need to master all five pillars at once.You just need one moment of intention.

Who are you? Maybe you don't know yet...or you're having a midlife crisis. It's OK to not know who you are or what you want to be yet. It's also OK to decide it's time for a change.In most cases, our teenagers are still trying to figure it out - which is OK!! Life is a journey of learning, trying, growing, and adapting. In this episode of The Second of Strength Podcast, we explore how to help ourselves—and our teenagers—figure out who we are so we can move forward.We'll dive into the Identity Information Theory, from psychology, which was created by James Marcia. The theory will help you know where you or your teen are on the path to who you are. This episode is your reminder: It's okay to not have all the answers. Growth comes from trying, failing, and adapting. Whether you're helping your teenager find their strength or rediscovering your own, you'll leave this episode ready to help your teen embrace the shifts that come from life.________________- SHARE this episode with ONE person - Leave a 5 Star rating- SHARE to your Instagram stories and tag @realtannerclark- SUBSCRIBE so you never miss an episode

In this episode we had an awesome time talking with Tom "War Yoga" Billinge. A martial artist, author, and Stonelifter (among many other things), Tom has travelled the world seeking to obtain knowledge from historically rooted physical practices. He has a deep understanding of ancient Greece's culture of strength and competition, and has even rediscovered and placed his hands on a piece of Greece's Stonelifting past that is nearly 3,000 years old!!! Tom has also witnessed firsthand (and partaken in) the varied Stonelifting practices of South Asia, and more specifically Pakistan, where the feats of strength performed are so impressive many find them difficult to believe! It was an absolute pleasure talking with Tom who has a wealth of Knowledge and a knack for sharing it in a very very enthusiastic and entertaining way!!!

Curiosity. Competing. Note-taking. Testing. Constant self-evaluation. Matt shows you the path to becoming the kind of coach clients never leave.Because community—not equipment—is the differentiator.People remember how coaching changed their life, not what brand of squat rack you bought. Matt shares how his team builds deep relationships that keep people training for decades.Because this episode will make you a better leader immediately.Whether you're managing employees, growing locations, fixing culture problems, or trying to get out from under your own weaknesses—Matt gives you the playbook.Don't forget our next LIVE event is Trainer School 2.0 at VH-HQ January 23rd.
