  • Starting Strength Franchise Opportunity

    I am excited for the development and episodes of this new podcast on Starting Strength franchises. Can you please provide episodes on apprenticeship vs. SSC Coach vs. SSC Head Coach vs. Franchise Owner? I am interested in owning a Starting Strength franchise and obtaining the SSC credential. Thank you!

  • Pole dancing ?

    Decided to unsubscribe from the podcast after seeing a photo of a half-dressed “pole dancer” as the podcast cover photo. Married men with kids always looking over our shoulders don’t need to see that.
