Connecting with the top minds in strength to share stories, insights and experiences to help the world get stronger everyday!I'm Michael Kurkowski, strength coach, Kettlebell Instructor and everyday strength seeker for over 13 years. The world of strength is riddled with so much information and marketing that it can be downright impossible to know what is best for you. From reading, studying, and practicing over the years, I've found how impactful being strong is to everything we do in our lives. But the thing that helped me more than anything is connection.Connecting with others and hearing about their experiences, their stories in life has given me a better education and understanding of living a strong life than anything. After co-hosting the very popular Breakthrough Secrets Podcast, I created The Strength Connection to speak with the best of the best to help the audience live stronger, healthier and happier lives.Strength has different meanings for all of us, whether it be physical, mental, or spiritual. But being stronger and knowing how helps all of us. Enjoy the show!

Praise for The Strength Connection
I've been in the health and fitness space for over 20 years — long enough to know that the true experts often aren't the ones with the most popular social media accounts. That's why Strength Connection is a great podcast. Michael's guests are true professionals with a life-long dedication who often fly under the radar. They are expert coaches and top-level athletes who approach the discipline with a blend of scientific rigor and creativity. I've learned of a couple important new people to follow!
