Architect of Resilience — Fitness & Nutrition
Architect of Resilience

Understanding what makes this podcast different is understanding what makes Chris different.
For those who are unfamiliar, Chris’ story has all the makings of a Hollywood movie: a chaotic and abusive childhood in the murderous mountains of the Pacific Northwest, graduating college while working full-time to secure custody of his siblings, achieving feats of strength no other human has ever accomplished before.
Chris’ “secret formula” to overcoming those challenges? To find unstoppable strength through seemingly insurmountable struggle? It was his ability to harness his mind, body and soul. To become the architect of his own resiliency.
Throughout his journey as both athlete and academic, personally and professionally, Chris has had the pleasure of learning and sharing the intricacies of strength & resiliency with experts worldwide. These discussions with leading researchers, doctors, coaches, clinicians, and athletes have included how to;
• Achieve ‘superhuman’ results
• Fuel an endless evolution
• Gain internal strength and self-awareness
• Master and apply human & organizational behavior
• Utilize unparalleled injury prevention & recovery protocols
Chris would be grateful for your joining as a listener and participant in the Endless Evolution Community.

Today our hosts sit down with Joe Szymanek, an accomplished coach, athlete, and most recently author! Although he has many credentials to his name, and has competed in a high-level in both CrossFit and weightlifting - it's clear immediately that Joe is just as passionate about introducing little ones to movement, strength, and health from an early age.

Joe recently authored the book "Luci Meets a Powerlifter" and says...

"I developed Luci Meets a Powerlifter with the hope of cultivating an early strength interest in young children and expose them to a fringe sport that could save their life. Strength is for everyone! It also comes in many forms. Read along with Luci as she learns these lessons for herself. Along the way Luci also practices new exercises, discovers a new sport, and makes a new friend."

Ryan Lockard and his team at Specialty Athletic Training work with a population of individuals who have been mostly forgotten and overlooked by the fitness world - those with special needs. Perhaps nobody we've had on the show thus far better embodies our mission and vision of "making the world a better place through strength" than Ryan and his team.

As one parent put it... "There is a special place in heaven for you and each and every one of your staff."

In his own words - the mission of Specialty Athletic Training is "...to make fitness fun and encourage self-esteem building and healthy lifestyle choices. We are passionate about the positive effects that exercise can have in the lives of our clients and their families!"

Ryan and his team have worked with hundreds of special needs individuals with Autism, Downs, Cerebral Palsy, ADHD, and other mental/physical disabilities.

We are absolutely honored to have Ryan share his story with us and the listeners of Strength Chat. All of us here at Kabuki Strength have a heart for helping others, and we are excited to announce that early next year we will be hosting a charity Special Olympics powerlifting meet to raise money for Special Olympics Oregon, an incredible organization that works with special needs individuals and gives them an avenue and platform to better themselves. Stay tuned for more on this!
