Ep 228 Never Defeated: It's About the Size of the Fight Inside ft. Jo and Matt Miller

Send us a text

Certainly, you’ve seen or heard this famous Mark Twain quote before:

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. 

Our guest today on the Strong By Design podcast show exemplifies this statement as good as any human being I’ve ever known or read about. 

Get knocked down 7 times, get up 8. This is the motto of powerlifter, strongman competitor, trainer, nutritionist, online coach, sports performance coach and Believe Big advisor Jo ‘ANIMAL’ Miller. Also known as Killer Miller. All 109 pounds of her! 

Jo is humble, intelligent, and a passionate woman. But with humility comes a lack of ego which requires a loving, supportive husband like Matt, aka Superman Miller to brag for you. Together on SBD, Jo and Matt talk about Jo’s extraordinary powerlifting and strongman journey. 

"She was the best lifter pound for pound... I felt like an unstoppable human, bulletproof."
-Matt & Jo 'Animal' Miller
