You Get Knocked Down, You Get Back Up | Mike Lee Ep. 118

"I HATED EVERY MINUTE OF TRAINING, BUT I SAID, 'DON'T QUIT. SUFFER NOW AND LIVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AS A CHAMPION'."

Muhammad Ali

There are countless metaphors for life in boxing. I'm willing to bet you can think of a few right now. But why is that?

Maybe it's because boxing, like many sports, has so many parallels to the struggles and obstacles of life. Putting on the gloves and stepping into the ring is like the equivalent of going after our dreams and ambitions.

Once we make the decision to chase our audacious goals, we're bound to get humbled by the work needed to excel, the commitment needed to get noticed, and the competition we're guaranteed to face along the way.

How does that saying go?

"EVERYONE HAS A PLAN UNTIL THEY GET PUNCHED IN THE MOUTH…"

Mike Tyson

Despite the challenges and the mountain of resistance in front of us, so many people still choose to climb that mountain. They choose to enter the ring, get bruised up and bloody, all for the chance to see the view from the top[Rope].

My guest today, Mike Lee, knows what it feels like to reach that mountain top and would tell you it's worth every bit of sweat. As a professional boxer, Mike went 21-1 with 11 knockouts and has been ranked the number 3 fighter in the world and fought for a World Title last July.

Mike's journey would not be without its challenges though as health issues midway through his career led to a two-year hiatus from the ring. Battling an autoimmune disease and making his way back to continue what was at the time an undefeated career is the only thing you need to know about Mike and the kind of determination he has burning within him.

As he says in this episode:

"THE GREATEST THAT HAVE EVER DONE IT HAVE ALL HIT THE MAT"

Mike Lee

Hop into today's episode and listen as Mike and I discuss developing the mentality of never quitting, going all-in on a dream, focusing on your health, and getting back up after you get knocked down.
