    #186 - Networking, AI, Education and Blindspots - Dr. Dave Osborn

    Dr. Dave Osborn returns to the pod for a second time to discuss the current state of the powerlifting coaching space, networking, AI, client relationships and big blind spots we see with young coaches. Dave has spent more than two decades in strength sports as an athlete, coach, researcher, and builder of one of the most respected powerlifting communities in the Pacific Northwest: Team OPS. As the founder and owner of OPS Gym, a private strength and conditioning facility that has operated successfully for 12 years, Dave has shaped a culture defined by high standards, deep integrity, and an unwavering belief in the power of effort. Dave comes from a family of coaches and educators. He began coaching at age 12 alongside his father and has spent the past 25 years teaching athletes how to grow physically, mentally, and emotionally through the pursuit of strength. His doctoral dissertation, “Effects of Communication Scheduling on Affective State and the Coach–Athlete Relationship in Online Powerlifting Coaching,” reflects his lifelong commitment to understanding not just how athletes get strong, but how coaches create meaningful, lasting change. We discussed: 00:00 — In-Person vs. Online 02:41 — Give-First Networking 07:16 — The Long Game of Relationships 13:19 — CCU Relaunch & New Mentorship Model 18:11 — AI's Limits & the Human Coaching Advantage 19:15 — The Toolbox Problem 28:51 — Blind Spots of Young Coaches 36:01 — Teaching Critical Thinking Through Variation 38:50 — The Coach-Athlete Relationship 42:18 — Feedback Timing & Autonomy 44:52 — Post-Training Reflection & Motor Learning 46:50 — Business Systems That Save Time (Loom) 49:03 — Advanced Athletes Still Need Daily Communication 54:05 — Managing Ego Through Exercise Selection 57:01 — What's Next for Dave Instagram: @drdaveatops Website: https://www.opsgym.com/ __________ Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.

    #185 - Don’t Throw In The Towel - Tasha “Wolf” Whalen

    This week, I sit down with my great friend and one of the most genuinely kind and passionate people I’ve ever met.  Tasha is the co-owner of Ideal Strength and has been coaching since 2005.  She is an International Elite Powerlifter, currently ranked #1 female powerlifter in Washington State and among the top 20 in the world. She holds multiple world records, including the deadlift world record in the lightweight Strongwoman division. When she’s not breaking records, she’s climbing them—literally—as an avid mountaineer and adventurer. Her academic background reflects her curiosity and discipline. She studied Cultural Anthropology, Archaeology, and Dance at the University of Washington and Exercise Science and Athletic Training at Central Washington University. Her professional certifications include Pain-Free Performance Specialist Certified (PPSC), Certified Conditioning Coach, and Certified Mental Performance Coach Tasha’s passion lies in helping others unlock their potential—physically and mentally—by strengthening both their bodies and their minds.

    #184 - How The World’s Strongest Woman Empowers Her Clients - Erin Murray

    This week, I sat down with Erin Murray, Owner of the online training business Buns and Boulders.  Erin primarily offers online coaching, both one-on-one and club-based, but has a larger presence as an athlete. She is a professional strongwoman athlete and 4-time World's Strongest Woman, the only person in the sport to win that title across multiple weight classes. Unlike many elite athletes, Erin did not grow up playing sports; she was introduced to strength training later in life as part of treatment for an eating disorder. What began as a tool for rebuilding her relationship with her body evolved into a lifelong pursuit of strength and performance. After briefly exploring powerlifting and CrossFit, Erin found her home in strongman, where she has worked her way to the highest level over the past 10 years. Today, she brings lived experience and elite-level insight to her coaching, blending performance-driven training with a nuanced understanding of the physical and psychological aspects of strength. We discussed: 02:06 - The Marketing-Before-Coaching Trap 03:22 - The "Retiring to Serve Clients" Narrative 10:12 - Niching Out vs. Niching Down 12:01 - Empowerment as the Common Thread 18:44 - Starting Clients Psychologically Where They're At 24:17 - People Before Programs 32:31 - Evolution of Your Athletic "Why" 36:54 - Weight Manipulation and Body Dysmorphia 44:30 - The Value of In-Person Coaching 47:12 - Retention Over Acquisition as Business Strategy Find Erin Website - https://www.instagram.com/erinmurray.wsw/ IG - @erinmurray.wsw __________ Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.

    #183 - Leveraging Your Personal Story - Joel Staley

    Today I sat down with Joel Staley, Owner of Total Reset Coaching. He helps business owners, executives, and leaders uncover hidden gaps in their energy, focus, and performance so they can lead their teams, families, and lives at the highest level. Over the years, he’s worked with over 2,000 high-performing men who are already successful on paper, but still feel drained, distracted, or stuck in routines that quietly limit their influence, stamina, and results. His clients don’t just improve their health and fitness, they unlock a new version of themselves: sharper, more disciplined, more commanding, and more capable of handling the pressures of high performance.  Joel is a pro-physique competitor, author, podcaster, and business owner, and has personally faced challenges that would test anyone’s energy and focus, including surviving late-stage cancer, while still raising a family and running a successful business. Because of this, he coaches from experience, not theory, and knows what it takes to optimize every area of life under real-world pressure. His approach combines evidence-based routines, mental performance strategies, and subtle identity shifts that create lasting change without burnout, gimmicks, or extreme measures. He has seen firsthand how a small set of adjustments, guided by a fresh perspective, can create massive breakthroughs in energy, focus, and leadership. We discussed 01:08 - Quitting with 10 clients 04:02 - Getting closed hard 10:26 - Delusional belief as superpower 15:42 - Six months of symptoms 22:10 - Getting the diagnosis 31:00 - Business during chemo 34:02 - Community over AI 39:40 - Not the cancer guy 47:03 - 90-day model structure 56:07 - Commitment over programming Find Joel Website - totalresetcoaching.com IG - @joelstaleyfitness __________ Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.
