In this deep-dive interview, Dave reveals the raw, unfiltered lessons from over four decades under the bar—and why the fitness industry is about to be cleansed. Dave holds nothing back, discussing why he believes AI will "eat the lunch" of lazy online coaches, the brutal accountability required to reach your potential, and why focusing on your legacy is a destructive waste of time. This isn't just about lifting weights; it's about the relentless pursuit of self-improvement, the changing perception of a lifter through the decades, and the hard-earned wisdom that can only come from becoming "the guy on the other side of the table."

Humanizing Change Tremendousness Join us each episode as we talk with innovators in their respective fields about their unique journeys and how they humanize change in their own work, right here, on Humanizing Change. AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in Canine Fitness Fanatics Podcast Hannah Johnson Do you think your dog might benefit from a little extra fitness?

Welcome to the Canine Fitness Fanatics podcast! With your host Hannah Johnson join us as we talk dog fitness and other areas of canine health too! Our mission is to help condition dogs to reduce the risk of injury and increase longevity, whether that’s in sporting dogs, working dogs or pet dogs.
