Welcome back, friends. This is the Strong Life podcast. This is your host, Zach Evanish. This is episode 501. This is a follow-up or a part two to my episode with Shane Sweat.

0:12.3

Tried crushing this on Instagram, but some technical difficulties messed that up. So we said, hey, let's hop on Zoom and let's crush this. So we went a little bit

0:21.4

over an hour and the topics were great. And I'd say a little bit more intense and deep-rooted

0:27.9

and more deep-hearted. So number one, started getting into some of the business evolution

0:33.8

that Shane has gone through with his gym originally starting as a powerlifting

0:38.8

gym and a CrossFit gym and he wanted to honor Louis Simmons after Louis passing.

0:45.6

I believe it was two years ago that Louis passed away about a day or two ago.

1:35.1

at the underground strength gym, or, hey, I've got these three certifications, but they never

1:41.1

mentioned going to the underground strength coach certification.

1:45.2

And I got to tell you, it fucks with my head a little bit because you start to wonder,

1:49.0

like, why do people not simply want to say this is who they learned from?

1:55.1

This is who mentored me.

1:57.3

And sometimes I look into that.

2:00.1

And so it was really, to me, special to hear Shane saying,

2:04.7

I wanted to honor Louis.
