Powerlifting and Mental Health

Newton Cheng

Newton Cheng is Google's Director of Health and Performance, but he's also a lot more than that. He started his social media platform focused on his powerlifting. He's a world class masters competitor, so it makes sense to focus on his lifting, and it's certainly impressive. But he quickly found that his messages about mental health and career advice resonated just as much or more with his audience. He has recently found a lot of success in connecting with younger audiences on these sensitive issues.

This marks Newton's third time on the pod, the most of any guest. Join us in this conversation as we discuss everything from the latest slang to navigating burnout in high performance environments. Many of the topics we touch on are things that military leaders are currently struggling with, so this is guaranteed to be relevant.
