#184 - How The World’s Strongest Woman Empowers Her Clients - Erin Murray
This week, I sat down with Erin Murray, Owner of the online training business Buns and Boulders. Erin primarily offers online coaching, both one-on-one and club-based, but has a larger presence as an athlete. She is a professional strongwoman athlete and 4-time World's Strongest Woman, the only person in the sport to win that title across multiple weight classes. Unlike many elite athletes, Erin did not grow up playing sports; she was introduced to strength training later in life as part of treatment for an eating disorder. What began as a tool for rebuilding her relationship with her body evolved into a lifelong pursuit of strength and performance. After briefly exploring powerlifting and CrossFit, Erin found her home in strongman, where she has worked her way to the highest level over the past 10 years. Today, she brings lived experience and elite-level insight to her coaching, blending performance-driven training with a nuanced understanding of the physical and psychological aspects of strength. We discussed: 02:06 - The Marketing-Before-Coaching Trap 03:22 - The "Retiring to Serve Clients" Narrative 10:12 - Niching Out vs. Niching Down 12:01 - Empowerment as the Common Thread 18:44 - Starting Clients Psychologically Where They're At 24:17 - People Before Programs 32:31 - Evolution of Your Athletic "Why" 36:54 - Weight Manipulation and Body Dysmorphia 44:30 - The Value of In-Person Coaching 47:12 - Retention Over Acquisition as Business Strategy Find Erin Website - https://www.instagram.com/erinmurray.wsw/ IG - @erinmurray.wsw __________ Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.
