Tim Riley hosts Clifton Harski on Coach 'Em Up to break down fitness industry tribalism and the blind spots of different training methodologies. Clifton shares his journey from skinny basketball player to respected fitness educator, working with brands like Kettle Athletics and Animal Flow while running certifications nationwide.

They dive deep into why different fitness tribes (bodybuilders, kettlebell enthusiasts, sports performance coaches) fail to see beyond their own training philosophies, and how to connect the consistent themes across various approaches. Clifton offers practical wisdom for new trainers and challenges the "one way only" mentality plaguing the industry.
