I had a good friend of mine. He had a drug deal go wrong, got shot in the head.

We were 15 years old, and all he wanted to do was buy a pound of weed

and went down the wrong alley with the wrong person,

popped him and took his money.

When my brother passed away, I just put blinders on

because then I didn't have to focus on dealing with my brother's death.

Every day I was just trained, train, train,

keeping my mind occupied so I didn't have to deal with the grief. You're in a 10 by 12 cell by

by yourself for a year. You don't get out.

All right. It's time to sit down, keep it real, and cut the bullshit. Welcome to Table Talk. All right, guys,

we're back with another episode of Table Talk. Today, my guest is Sean Copeland, powerlifter, entrepreneur.

It's a word that never comes out of my mind, out of my brain very well, because I can do a whole rant

on that word to begin with, because the way the internet makes that word seem.

It's business owner, I think, is more relevant.

Reformed criminal and drug addict, right?

So the founder of multiple companies, but Cream City Clothing and a Wiffpack barbell, I believe, are the ones that you're focused on the most now.

You have a very interesting story. Yes. And there's a lot of things I want to talk about, but where I want to jump off on, because I think it's where most people are going to be able to relate to this is around the 2014 time when you found power lifting. You know, it, it looks to be through your

story a pivotal point in your life journey. Yes. To be able to move in the direction that you're

moving now. Other factors, I'm sure, played a role around that same time.

Definitely. But that was a key point when I was looking through your history, like, okay,

this happens here, and then all these other things start to come together. Kind of blossom. Would that be

a fair assessment? Yes. And how would you elaborate on that before we start to go back deeper into your story?
