Inez Carrasquillo joins Ken for a conversation about pressure, identity, and what it really takes to build something from nothing. Not just in sport, but in life.
An Arnold Champion and one of the most dominant forces in strongwoman today, Inez didn’t come up through a traditional path. She started lifting to lose weight after a serious health scare, training alone at 4AM to avoid being seen and built herself into one of the best in the world in just a few years.
This conversation goes far beyond competition. It’s about motherhood, betting on yourself, dealing with doubt, and learning how to carry pressure instead of running from it.
In this episode, Ken and Inez get into:
• Turning a wake-up call into a complete life shift
• Starting late and rising fast in strongwoman
• Training through anxiety and building confidence
• Motherhood, guilt, and chasing something bigger
Leaving a stable job to go all-in on yourself
• The mental side of competing at the highest level
• Why pressure is a privilege and not something to avoid
A raw conversation about ownership, resilience, and what happens when you finally stop holding yourself back.
