## Resource

In this episode, we talk with world champion powerlifter Meg Scanlon — a record-holding athlete, coach, mom of twins, and founder of Onward. Meg shares her 13-year journey from trainer and gym owner to top-ranked lifter and successful online coaching entrepreneur. We dive into her biggest lessons from burnout, the shift to digital coaching, building athlete retention, and developing a coaching philosophy rooted in longevity and mindset. Meg also breaks down training principles, mistakes lifters make, how she prepares for Sheffield, and what she hopes her athletes — and her kids — learn from watching her chase big goals.
