Season 2 starts with an Ask Me Anything episode with Anthony where he answers listener questions. Anthony reflects on the previous season and values the personal and inspiring stories shared by guests like Sam Ward, Tony Bellew, Tris Dixon, and Brian O'Driscoll. He emphasises the significance of learning from other people's experiences and finding hope in their journeys. Anthony also shares his personal experiences, including his boxing career and the tactics he employed to overcome nervousness before significant fights. He talks about his motivation to be exceptional and build a better life than what he experienced growing up. KEY TAKEAWAYS Jealousy can be detrimental, but it is possible to overcome it by being genuinely happy for others' success and recognizing that their achievements are a result of hard work and perseverance. Nerves and fear are natural, and they can either sharpen your focus and performance or consume you if not properly managed. Preparation, confidence, and surrounding yourself with supportive and skilled individuals can help control nerves and enhance performance. Motivation comes from a desire to be great, to achieve goals, and to leave a lasting legacy. Wanting more than what one has experienced in the past and striving for greatness can be powerful motivators to keep going and overcome challenges. The way we look at things can greatly impact our lives. Changing our perspective and finding the positive in difficult situations can lead to personal growth and transformation. You never know what someone is going through, so it's important to be kind and understanding. Small acts of kindness and empathy can have a significant impact on someone's life and well-being. BEST MOMENTS "Fear is like this fire, and it's burning deep inside. Now, if you control it, it's going to make you hot. But you see, this thing here, controls you. It's going to burn you and everything else around you up." "Always believe your best days are yet to come." "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." "You haven't got to see the whole staircase. You've just got to see the next step." "You have no idea what people are going through. So be nice to people. At the very least, don't be a dick." HOST BIO Olympic medal-winning boxer, Anthony Ogogo, teetered on the brink of a world title before a career-ending eye injury left him mostly blind in one eye. Battling years of depression, he reinvented himself as a professional wrestler with All Elite Wrestling in America. Anthony holds an impressive record of 10 British boxing titles, in addition to being the junior world and junior Olympic champion. Beyond sports, he's a renowned international motivational speaker, gracing prestigious venues like Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street. Anthony's entrepreneurial spirit led him to create Ogogo Fitness, a fitness app. Now, as a podcast host, he shares his incredible journey and the wisdom he's gleaned from life's trials. Join him in exploring the resilience that has defined his life, and the inspirational stories of others who have risen above challenges to find success and happiness. Instagram - @anthonyogogo
