Zain Retherford: Olympian, World Champion, & 3x National Champion |N&D 80|

In this episode of Nickals and Dimes, Bo and Tony sit down with 3x NCAA Champion and wrestling legend Zain Retherford to dive into his next chapter — from competing at the highest level to stepping into coaching, business, and fatherhood. Zain talks about why he’s never used creatine, his thoughts on NLWC teammates at Final X, and whether or not he’s truly retired. He also opens up about joining the new CLAW Wrestling League and what excites him about the future of the sport. Bo and Zain explore life off the mat too — including launching a business, raising children, and reflecting on his dominant college career at Penn State. Plus, Bo shares his favorite podcast episode ever… and they even unpack the infamous cookie story.
