In this first episode, Cait (a longtime athlete and coach under Leo’s mentorship) and Leo sit down to talk about why they started this podcast and what they hope to share with you. For Leo, the idea of doing a podcast was a little outside his comfort zone—he’s not exactly a “tech guru”—but as he thought about his career and all the lessons learned through trial, error, and success, he realized this could be a great way to give back. Cait, who’s worked with Leo for over a decade, shares why she thinks it’s so important to get these stories out there, especially in a world where it’s easy to get distracted by the latest fads and flashy “experts” online.
At the core of this podcast is the idea that we’re all on a journey, whether you’re just starting out or have been in the game for years. The lessons you’ll hear are grounded in real experiences, not hype. And just like in coaching, the goal isn’t to tell you what to do—it’s to help you understand why you’re doing it and empower you to make the best decisions for yourself.
Expect stories from Leo’s decades in the weightlifting world, lessons learned from his athletes, and conversations about coaching, mentorship, and building an authentic legacy. Along the way, we’ll have some incredible guest speakers—people who’ve been mentors to Leo and Cait, and who share their wisdom in a way that’s approachable, relatable, and grounded in real-life experience.
So, whether you’re a coach, an athlete, or just someone who’s passionate about learning, we hope this podcast feels like a conversation with friends who genuinely care about your growth. Tune in for a mix of fun stories, actionable insights, and, of course, plenty of “Tottenisms” along the way.
We’re so glad you’re here, and we can’t wait to get started!
