| 5/20/26 |  The Sharp Cut 006 - Comparison Steals Your Joy | In this episode, Ken talks about the moment he realized he was missing his own life by constantly comparing it to what he thought it should look like. After years of chasing success, pressure, and bigger goals, a simple morning making breakfast for his family became a reminder that some of the richest moments in life are the ones we overlook while trying to get somewhere else. This episode is about slowing down enough to actually experience the life you’re building, pushing hard without losing yourself in the process, and remembering that comparison will steal everything if you let it. If you’ve been off track lately, this is the one-page reset I use to get back in control.

| 5/13/26 |  The Iron Edge 006 - Inez Carrasquillo | Inez Carrasquillo joins Ken for a conversation about pressure, identity, and what it really takes to build something from nothing. Not just in sport, but in life. An Arnold Champion and one of the most dominant forces in strongwoman today, Inez didn’t come up through a traditional path. She started lifting to lose weight after a serious health scare, training alone at 4AM to avoid being seen and built herself into one of the best in the world in just a few years. This conversation goes far beyond competition. It’s about motherhood, betting on yourself, dealing with doubt, and learning how to carry pressure instead of running from it. In this episode, Ken and Inez get into: • Turning a wake-up call into a complete life shift• Starting late and rising fast in strongwoman• Training through anxiety and building confidence• Motherhood, guilt, and chasing something bigger• Leaving a stable job to go all-in on yourself• The mental side of competing at the highest level• Why pressure is a privilege and not something to avoid A raw conversation about ownership, resilience, and what happens when you finally stop holding yourself back.

| 5/6/26 |  The Sharp Cut 005 - I Was Resenting Myself | In this episode, Ken gets honest about the struggle of outgrowing identity. Moving on from being known as “the athlete,” “the strongman,” or whatever role you’ve carried for years and realizing that holding onto it too tightly can start to break you. This isn’t about abandoning who you were. It’s about allowing yourself to evolve without resentment, without forcing yourself to stay in a box that no longer fits. Because at the end of the day, you’re still the same person at your core. The question is whether you’re willing to actually choose who you are now.

| 4/29/26 |  The Iron Edge 005 - Joey Szatmary | Joey Szatmary joins Ken for a conversation about identity beyond lifting, adapting through different seasons of life, and what it means to keep building when priorities change. Known for his long-running presence in the strength world, coaching career, and no-nonsense approach to training, Joey has evolved far beyond athlete labels. This conversation goes into fatherhood, business pivots, discipline, and staying grounded when life no longer revolves around performance alone. In this episode, Ken and Joey get into: • Identity beyond competition• Fatherhood and shifting priorities• Adapting training through life seasons• Discipline over motivation• Business pivots and personal growth• Keeping perspective as you evolve A raw conversation about growth, resilience, and learning how to evolve without losing who you are.

| 4/22/26 |  The Sharp Cut 004 - Every Day Counts | Some days you feel unstoppable. Other days you feel invisible. In this episode, Ken talks about the reality of energy swings — the high-energy days where everything feels easy and the low-energy days where even simple tasks feel heavy. The goal isn’t chasing motivation, it’s building the discipline and routines that allow you to execute no matter how you feel. Stack the days. Show up for both.

| 4/15/26 |  The Iron Edge 004 - Erin Murray | Erin Murray joins Ken for a conversation about identity beyond performance, learning to step away from pressure, and what it means to keep evolving when you’ve already reached the top. A multiple-time world champion, Erin has spent over a decade at the highest level of strongman. But this conversation goes deeper than titles. It’s about navigating life after proving yourself, redefining success, and learning how to embrace being a beginner again. In this episode, Ken and Erin get into: • Letting go of identity tied to winning• The shift from chasing results to finding fulfillment• Balancing athlete, coach, and personal life• Why pressure driven by fear isn’t sustainable• Learning to do things you’re bad at—and why it matters A raw conversation about growth, perspective, and what happens when you stop measuring your worth by outcomes.

| 4/8/26 |  The Sharp Cut 003 – Own Your Anger | Ken opens up about the frustration and negativity that’s been building under the surface, and the moment it finally clicked, nothing was changing because he wasn’t actually addressing the problem. It’s easy to sit in anger and let it spiral. Harder to stop, take ownership, and ask what actually needs to change. In this episode, he breaks down how to use that anger and frustration as a signal, not a weakness. Why it means you care. And how to turn it into something productive instead of letting it tear things apart. Because the real danger isn’t being angry. It’s getting to the point where you don’t feel anything at all.

| 4/1/26 |  The Iron Edge 003 - Brian Alsruhe | Brian Alsruhe joins Ken for a conversation about choosing pressure on purpose, and what it means to actually do hard things consistently. Known for his intensity and unconventional approach to training, Brian has built a system around structure, intent, and embracing discomfort rather than avoiding it. This conversation looks at how that mindset carries beyond the gym into life, business, and personal standards. In this episode, Ken and Brian get into: • Choosing pressure instead of waiting for it• Training with intent vs going through the motions• Building structure that carries into everyday life• The role of discipline in long-term progress• Why most people avoid the work that actually matters A direct conversation about standards, effort, and what it really takes to keep moving forward.

| 3/25/26 |  The Sharp Cut 002 – Rebuilding Yourself From the Inside | Ken reflects on a period of drifting through life on autopilot and the realization that growth doesn’t happen without intention.
