The Base Control Podcast Episode 002 w/ Sean Collins

Base Control

Like most people, Sean Collins wasn't happy in his HR corporate job and was searching for something that would give him more fulfillment in life. Sean ended up joining his local CrossFit gym, Crow Hill CrossFit, and instantly fell in love with powerlifting. After dedicating himself to the community at Crow Hill CrossFit, he was offered a full time coaching position there. Soon after Sean, along with his partner Kurt Roderick, started Murder of Crows Barbell Club right next door in a 4000 square foot space. Sean and Kurt now operate NYC's largest dedicated barbell training facility specializing in Powerlifting and Olympic Weightlifting.

In this episode, we talk with Sean and his wife Kayleigh about the struggles of entrepreneurship as a couple, Sean's love for the sport of Powerlifting, as well as how Sean was able to help his community get through a very sad and tragic loss of a dear friend and member. We also ask Kayleigh why she refers to Sean as the Grinch :)

We hope you enjoy this episode and the lovely sounds of Brooklyn! If you're ever in NYC, make sure to stop by and say what's up to Sean and the rest of the amazing people at Murder of Crows Barbell Club!
