Ed Latimore
is a father, husband, professional heavyweight boxer, published author, and influential figure for anyone interested in transforming their lives.His story is as powerful as his punching skills which he recently used to put away a 258lb man via a body shot in the first round after stepping away from boxing for many years.
In this conversation, we discussed:
Ed’s evolution as a fighter, writer, and man
His insights from overcoming alcohol addiction
Benefits of the military
Being liked vs respected
The power of community and support systems
Accountability and empathy
Fear of failure vs others thinking you’re a failure
Picking your pain
Skill acquisition
Fatherhood and much more
Ed’s online presence is as dynamic as his mind and life. He can be found on Substack, Youtube, X, and Medium where he shares lessons learned and perspectives on making the most out of life regardless of circumstance. His website contains links to all his channels, products, and free resources that he has created:
As you will hear at the beginning of the podcast, his book, “Not Caring What Others Think is a Superpower: Insights from a Heavyweight Boxer,” was the first book I purchased from an account on Substack after joining. Offering his perspectives on different aspects of life followed by actionable advice, it reads like a daily meditation book for badasses.
His most recent book, “Hard Lessons from the Hurt Business,” is more of a memoir where Ed chronologically provides the wisdom he has gained from fighting that can be applied to life.
Ed is just as insightful and entertaining on the mic as he is with the written word. Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did (If not, I’ll embrace Ed’s wisdom and not care what you think…).
