In this week’s episode of Off the Strength, hosts Tony Vidal and KR Jones tap in with another round of unapologetic wellness talk, sharp takes, and hard-earned wisdom in an episode we’re calling “Playing Small to Win Big.”
They break down what it means to move with intention in a world that’s often loud but not always aligned. From tech-fueled beauty scams to corporate wellness fumbles, here’s what’s on deck:
💄 Why the online beauty biz might be catfishing your confidence
🏢 The WeWork model’s quiet collapse and what it says about our work-life values
👟 Cadence x Sweetgreen linking up for 5K freshness
🍗 KFC + Gymshark overseas collab = The Colonel tries creatine
🥋 The golden rule: Never show up the sensei — in sports or life
🧠 How overconfidence in the wrong room will have you misunderstood
📢 Why perception ain’t reality — and communication is a lifelong lift
💬 And how shrinking your ego might be the biggest power play of all
It’s a reminder that sometimes, you gotta move quiet to move smart — and that playing small isn’t weakness when it’s rooted in self-awareness.
