Description

On this mobile episode of The Shaw Strength Podcast, Brian sits down with legendary former NFL strength coach Joe “Big House” Kenn at his North Carolina gym. They discuss Joe’s transition from the highly competitive world of professional football and elite collegiate coaching to the private sector. Joe opens up about the early financial struggles that forced him to stock candy at Costco to support his family, and the difficult decision to leave a high-paying coaching job to launch “Big House Power,” a move driven by self-belief and principle. Joe also reflects on coaching Brian during his final strongman competition prep in 2023, a partnership that helped lead Brian to victory at the Strongest Man on Earth title.
