| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's up? This is Mike Cashew and you're listening to the Brute Strength podcast. |
| 0:03.7 | This week's guest is Mark Bell, owner of Super Training Gym and the company Slinghot. He's also a |
| 0:10.4 | former elite level powerlifter. He's benched over 850, squatted over 1,000, and deadlifted over 700 |
| 0:17.0 | pounds. Mark is one of the most iconic names in the powerlifting industry. And I went into |
| 0:24.4 | this show thinking that we were going to have two distinct parts. I was going to talk to him about |
| 0:28.8 | business and I was going to talk to him about powerlifting. But during the show, I realized a lot |
| 0:34.7 | of what makes Mark successful in one is exactly what makes |
| 0:39.7 | him successful in the other. And so, you know, if there's a theme to this show, it's Mark's |
| 0:45.3 | personal definition and recipe for success. And also, what he sees other elite level powerlifters doing that others aren't. So tons of really good |
| 0:57.5 | knowledge in this one pertaining to business as well as sport, as well as just living a better, |
| 1:04.1 | more fulfilling life. So before we get started, if you're a regular listener of the show and you |
| 1:09.2 | haven't done so already, please throw this on |
| 1:12.1 | pause really quickly, head to iTunes and leave me a quick review. I'm going to invite any of you |
| 1:16.9 | that are interested to call into a voicemail that I have set up and leave some questions. So then I'm |
| 1:24.2 | going to play back your question on the podcast and I'm either going to answer the question |
| 1:30.3 | myself or I'm going to get one of my guests to help me answer those questions. |
| 1:34.9 | If you're interested, the number is 801-449-0503. |
