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. Online02:41 — Give-First Networking07:16 — The Long Game of Relationships13:19 — CCU Relaunch & New Mentorship Model18:11 — AI's Limits & the Human Coaching Advantage19:15 — The Toolbox Problem28:51 — Blind Spots of Young Coaches36:01 — Teaching Critical Thinking Through Variation38:50 — The Coach-Athlete Relationship42:18 — Feedback Timing & Autonomy44:52 — Post-Training Reflection & Motor Learning46:50 — Business Systems That Save Time (Loom)49:03 — Advanced Athletes Still Need Daily Communication54:05 — Managing Ego Through Exercise Selection57:01 — What's Next for DaveInstagram: @drdaveatopsWebsite: https://www.opsgym.com/__________Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.

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 Trap03:22 - The "Retiring to Serve Clients" Narrative10:12 - Niching Out vs. Niching Down12:01 - Empowerment as the Common Thread18:44 - Starting Clients Psychologically Where They're At24:17 - People Before Programs32:31 - Evolution of Your Athletic "Why"36:54 - Weight Manipulation and Body Dysmorphia44:30 - The Value of In-Person Coaching47:12 - Retention Over Acquisition as Business StrategyFind ErinWebsite - https://www.instagram.com/erinmurray.wsw/IG - @erinmurray.wsw__________Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.

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 discussed01:08 - Quitting with 10 clients04:02 - Getting closed hard10:26 - Delusional belief as superpower15:42 - Six months of symptoms22:10 - Getting the diagnosis31:00 - Business during chemo34:02 - Community over AI39:40 - Not the cancer guy47:03 - 90-day model structure56:07 - Commitment over programmingFind JoelWebsite - totalresetcoaching.comIG - @joelstaleyfitness__________Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.

In this episode, I sit down with the Strength Coach and Founder of Hoopie Hybrid, Cody Miller. Cody and I met in 2010, when we were both working at Robert Morris University and have been friends ever since. Cody spent over 10 years as a collegiate strength and conditioning coach before transitioning to tactical strength and conditioning 3 years ago. He runs and lifts (the kids call this “hybrid”) and is training for a 100-mile race in February. He cofounded Hoopie Hybrid with his beautiful wife, Cayt. It launched in January 2024 and comprises online, hybrid training groups and programs. Cody and Cayt enjoy hanging out with their two pitbull mutts, Millie and Ollie, and enjoy going to the beach every spare moment they can.We discuss:Cody's career trajectory from college strength and conditioning to the U.S military. Using your athletic pursuits to fuel your career. True effort comes from finding the extremes in your pursuits. Chaos, heart rate and zone training. An argument for zone 2 maxing. An argument against zone 2. Why must you practice what you coach? Being fit enough to push aerobic capacity. Using training to improve mental resilience. Creating wins and handling losses.Approaching an exercise modality where mechanical failure does not exist. The concept of durability and toughness. Eye-opening experiences in training tactical populations. A common person who can do uncommon things. Running won't affect gains… If you suck at both. Seasons of life and what's to come. Path dependency. The Biggest lesson for a young Cody. Greatest achievement as a coach.

He’s also a two-time finisher of 100-mile ultramarathons, a former gym owner, and a lifelong strength athlete who believes performance should never come at the expense of durability, leadership, or family. Tomasz is the founder of The Warrior Collective and co-host of The Warrior Collective Podcast, a training philosophy and community built for those who lift heavy, run far, and refuse to separate strength, endurance, and aesthetics. His approach is battle-tested and science-backed—no gimmicks, no fear-mongering, and no random intensity. Whether working with soldiers, busy professionals, or competitive hybrid athletes, Tomasz focuses on building people who are harder to break, capable under fatigue, and disciplined in both training and life.

The process of healing, discovering her values, and meeting her husband, Cody Miller, reshaped how she sees health, purpose, and the role fitness plays in a meaningful life. Today, she and Cody live in Alabama with their two pitties, building Hoopie Strength and Conditioning together. She is very multipassionate. Beyond coaching, she loves being the primary homemaker—cooking, baking sourdough, running a dog treat business, gardening, creating a home, and spending as much time outside as possible. Those hobbies anchor her pursuit of deep health and shape the whole-person approach she brings to her coaching.We discussed00:44 - Kate's background and Hoopie Strength05:01 - Disordered eating journey07:44 - Discovering powerlifting09:43 - Ruptured appendix moment16:11 - Identifying core values22:25 - Stillness and awareness29:52 - Three non-negotiables39:02 - Cardio mindset shift49:54 - The snooze button rule54:21 - Hoopy coaching frameworkFind CaytWebsite - www.hoopiestrength.comPersona IG - @caytmillerBusiness IG - @hoopiestrengthYouTube - @hoopiestrength__________Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.

Today I sat down with Jim McDonald, Co-Owner of Third Street Barbell in Sacramento, CA. Jim left the corporate world behind a couple of decades ago and became a consultant in IT and healthcare marketing.

He focused on visuals that helped the audience understand not only the technical aspects of powerlifting, but also the emotions that drive lifters to lift. Eventually, he created a chart-topping podcast along with Mike Farr just before the worldwide explosion in podcast listenership.
