Summary

It’s not common for strength coaches to crossover into other fields or add the title of “entrepreneur” to their resume- much less in the world of artificial intelligence. Today’s guest Chad Wesley Smith has done both at the highest level.  For both my training nerds AND my non-coaching audience, this episode is a great representation of how leaders can ethically brand themselves, develop auxiliary skill sets and find success outside of their immediate domain.  Chad is the owner and founder of Juggernaut Training Systems, as well as being one of the most highly regarded strength coaches and athletes of the modern era. As an athlete, Chad has posted Top 10 All-Time Total in wraps (1055kg/2325#) and sleeves (1010kg/2226#), won 2 National Championships in the Shot Put and earned his Pro Card in Strongman.    We discuss:  Using artificial intelligence to make coaching decisions The secret to branding yourself ethically How to embrace entrepreneurship as a coach  Jiu Jitsu and maintaining a beginner's mindset     Connect with Chad:    Via Instagram: @chadwesleysmith & @juggernauttraining   Via Website: https://www.jtsstrength.com/   Via Twitter: @juggernauttraining If you’re like Chad, you probably enjoy picking up loads equivalent to small houses… But sometimes we can’t pick up heavy weight because we’re traveling or injured. If that's the case, I highly recommend checking out the new BFR cuffs from our partner SAGA fitness. These cuffs saved me when I was recovering from my shoulder injury.  Click the link below to learn more:    https://saga.fitness/products/the-bfr-cuffs   And while you’re here, check out our other amazing partners: Momentous and VersaClimber That’s all! See you next week.
