Had a great conversation with our own Jon Corcoran and his fiancé Canadian Pro Strongwoman Holly McRae. Had a blast with these two. Both of them gave insight into their story: athletic background, how and when they found strength sports, along with their own individual journey’s and the valuable lessons learned along the way. Jon and Holly are both authentic examples of owning t

On this episode I got to sit down with a friend and fellow gym owner Brian from Colosseum Barbell in Webster, MA. I really enjoyed this one because it's clear Brian and I share a vision. To provide a space for people to get better. Simple. With 20+ successful years in the auto industry he applies the same "quality over quantity" approach to his gym that he used in sales. Developi
