Struggle To Strength Podcast

Strategy Sprints founder and CEO Simon Severino joins the boys on the podcast this week to dive into the power of delegation, using A.I. to streamline processes, and the benefits of daily flow.

During 19 years of entrepreneurship, Simon has executed hundreds of go-to-market strategies with B2B teams around the globe.

Having scaled his own consultancy, Simon has retired from operations and now became an investor, helping thousands of entrepreneurs reach financial freedom and have a business that runs without being dependent on them.

Simon understands the value of time and just what a rare commodity it is for business owners trying to create some separation from their businesses. It’s a critical goal, says Simon, because visionaries can’t do their best work if they’re mired IN the business rather than working ON the business. There are ways to create space while continuing on a trajectory of growth, but of course not without certain compensations. That’s where Simon’s team comes in, along with his helpful compendium: “Strategy Sprints: 12 Ways to Accelerate Growth for an Agile Business.”

Audio producer, podcaster, and author Mike “The Schwartz” is sitting down with the boys this week to discuss living on the fringe to make things happen, rewriting the rules to become successful, and the importance of paying attention to language.

For many years as a certified personal trainer, Mike was completely focused on his coaching career. Yet as he helped others to lead healthy and active lifestyles, he found himself competing to be heard in a fitness industry filled with noise.

In May 2020, after a nearly fatal accident in Australia, Mike came to the realization that he needed to stop waiting for permission to live his own life and decided to carve a new path. He left the toxic relationship he was in, dropped his first album, and created what is now the Music Fit brand to help others take back the wheel in their own lives too.

Mike now focuses his energy on coaching his mentorship students, facilitating masterclasses, and collaborating with other world-class coaches to help make the world a better place. His Pirate-gangster "rules are meant to be broken" philosophy is now a staple of both his coaching and his music.

Boxing coach, radio personality, and founder of Keppner Boxing Keith Keppner joins the boys on the podcast this week to discuss how to remain empowered through difficult circumstances, the personal and professional journey that put him on the trajectory to where he is today, and what it takes to succeed with franchising a business.

Keith began boxing training as a way to regain his health from a chronic illness. At the age of 17, he was in constant pain, had extreme fatigue, and had issues with depression, anxiety, short-term memory, and other cognitive challenges. He had gone 5 years with no answers to his health issues, however, once he was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease he used boxing as a way to get his life back.

Because of his compromised health from intensive Lyme treatment, he had endured many injuries and struggles after several years of training. In 2010 he was forced to retire from boxing due to a severe neck injury in Mexico. After that, he began coaching boxing full time and soon after opened up his own gym, Keppner Boxing in 2013.

Having produced Golden Glove Champions from scratch, Keith has trained professional boxers who have fought on ESPN, Showtime, and Telemundo. Keith also prides himself on his work with everyday people who just want to get in great shape, learn boxing, and improve themselves mentally and physically. Keith has coached and instructed everyone from kids to clients with Parkinson’s Disease and is great at connecting and positively impacting individuals from all walks of life.

EPISODE 73: 4x Ninja Warrior, ex-biochemist, and founder of Pull-Up Revolution & Strong Feels Good, Angela Gargano joins the boys on the podcast this week to talk about her approach to training explosiveness, overcoming injury on national TV, and the power of mindset.

Both a fierce athlete and coach, Angela utilizes her knowledge of the human body to help others reach their fitness, health, and wellness goals.

Before becoming a full-time multi-passionate entrepreneur, Angela worked as a biochemist at Brown University. Since throwing in the lab coat and goggles in 2013 to open her own gym in Cranston, Rhode Island, Angela has truly lived multiple lives in the athletic and entrepreneurial space, defying odds and setbacks to become an authentic and relatable voice to the public eye.

Angela has now competed on American Ninja Warrior four times, won the title of Miss Fitness America 2016, and created an online fitness empire for women called Strong Feels Good, where she teaches women to ditch the scale and focus on strength and feeling as a way to measure progress. She has also helped over 500 women conquer their pull-ups with her online program, Pull-up Revolution.

In summer 2021, Angela appeared all over the world as the Oxygen Magazine Covergirl, where she spoke about tearing her ACL on the Ninja Warrior course and coming back 11 months later stronger than ever.

Angela is a huge advocate for speaking about body image, as she was made fun of growing up for her “manly” arms and build. She would hide in a sweatshirt daily at school to avoid being made fun of, and was rejected by many fitness modeling agencies. But this didn't stop Angela from now having 3 magazine covers and becoming an international fitness model in some of the world's biggest publications: Women’s Health, Shape, Strong Fitness Magazine, and Popsugar Fitness.
