Celebrating 7 Years of Strong By Design – Our Most Iconic Episodes Ever!
400 episodes. 7 years. Countless lives impacted.
This special anniversary episode of the Strong By Design podcast is one for the books.
Co-hosts Coach Chris Wilson and Jared Haley take a walk down memory lane to celebrate the conversations that have left a lasting mark — from the most controversial to the most heartfelt.
Chris shares his personal favorites, including deep dives on brain health, the power of hope, fatherhood, and unexpected health hacks (like coffee enemas and saunas). Jared brings the heat with powerful episodes on faith, culture, education, and parenting in a world that often feels upside down.
