| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Strong Life podcast. This is your host, Zach Evanesh. Not sure what episode we're on now, but we got a great episode. We have Tommy Richardson on this episode. |
| 0:10.8 | This was recorded at Soarnex Summer Strong with my buddy Joe Riggio from Varsity House. |
| 0:16.1 | Joe and I are partners in the Underground Strength Con and we're getting very close to releasing the speaker list and registration and sponsors |
| 0:26.9 | and all that good stuff. |
| 0:28.2 | So really be on the lookout because in the beginning we have a early bird registration. |
| 0:33.6 | So make sure you're on the newsletter. |
| 0:35.2 | Go to Zach Strength.com. |
| 0:36.9 | Now back to our podcast. We've got Tommy Richardson, who I had found out about through the Westside Barbell podcast. |
| 0:43.4 | He is an honorary member of West Side Barbell, although lives in Virginia Beach, travels out to Westside to train with those guys and helps with seminars and education. |
| 0:53.4 | Tommy's a former Marine. |
| 0:54.9 | I know they don't, usually Marines don't say I'm a former Marine, but he was a Marine and |
| 0:59.7 | then became a Navy SEAL. |
| 1:01.2 | So he's living out in Virginia Beach and has a very interesting story of overcoming |
| 1:05.7 | obstacles after. |
| 1:09.6 | I don't think it was after. I think it was near the end of finishing his career in the military. |
| 1:15.3 | He had to get a brain surgery and he had goals of benching 500 pounds and he's, I think, a little bit younger than me. |
| 1:23.8 | I'm in my late 40s. |
| 1:24.8 | I believe he's somewhere in his early 40s, but he talks about |
| 1:28.2 | training and preparing as a Marine and then becoming a Navy SEAL. Talks a lot about the mindset. |
| 1:35.1 | We talk a lot about training. Talk about life. It's going to be an extremely inspiring |
| 1:40.0 | strong life slash business of Strength podcast. |
| 1:47.3 | We talk about leadership, and it was great. |
