Yeoman

Grant Broggi, founder of The Strength Co., joins Geoff to talk about strength, entrepreneurship, and the Marines.

I love Grant’s story: from a homeschooled teenage window cleaner in the South Carolina Lowcountry, to the Citadel then Marines, to a strength coach, to the (pandemic inspired) manufacturer of gym equipment, to balancing the obligations of his new business with his reservist commitments, to his year-long deployment and return late last year. “Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome!”

If you are interested in becoming stronger, check out The Strength Co. Youtube channel, sign up for online or IRL coaching, and buy some plates and equipment from their website. They also sell a cast iron pan.

In our conversation, we mentioned this Men’s Health article about one of Grant’s (then) 86 (now 92) year-old clients. We also mentioned Starting Strength and this great little book. If you lift at home, you’ve probably heard of Garage Gym Reviews and will enjoy this 2021 discussion between Coop and Grant.
