Philosophical Weightlifting Podcast

In the episode of the podcast, Max, Sarah, and I deep dive in the business side of the sport. Most coaches and athletes are working so hard to understand the X's and O's of weightlifting that they lose sight of the fact that they are running a business.Sit down with us as we cover marketing, athlete retention, growing to become successful, and everything in-between.Check out our seminars in Calgary on Sept. 10th and 11th:Powerlifting: https://maxsgym.pike13.com/pack_products/795776Weightlifting: https://maxsgym.pike13.com/pack_products/795775SuperTotal: https://maxsgym.pike13.com/pack_products/795779Follow Sarah:https://www.instagram.com/sarah.amenta/https://www.instagram.com/socalwlc/Check out Max's work:https://www.instagram.com/max_aita/https://www.teamaita.com/Check me out for 1:1 Remote Coaching:https://www.instagram.com/josh_philwl/https://www.philosophicalweightlifting.com/Sign up for the best programming available: https://weightlifting.ai/Onyx:https://www.onyxstraps.com/ with code PHILWL for 10% offhttps://www.instagram.com/onyx_straps/Weightlifting House:https://www.weightliftinghouse.com/ with code PHILWL for 10% off

He's also been involved in weightlifting, competing and coaching for a number of years. He currently teaches at Sacred Heart University, where he was recently promoted to associate professor.In this episode, we deep dive into three projects Chris is currently working on.
