20| Stoic Street Smarts featuring Ed Latimore

In this podcast episode, I interview Ed Latimore.

Ed's mentorship has changed the course of my life and through it all we've been friends (awww).

Edward Ashley Latimore, Jr. is a retired American professional boxer (13-1-1), influencer, and author. 

His final professional fight was December 17, 2016.

He launched his blog "Mind and Fist" in 2013, focusing on the difficult lessons he learned from growing up in public housing projects, overcoming alcohol and pornography addiction, and general self-improvement.

He has published two books, Not Caring What Other People Think Is a Superpower: Insights from a Heavyweight Boxer and Sober Letters to My Drunken Self, along with a writing and marketing guide for social media titled Engagement Is the New Cocaine: The Art and Science of Writing Awesomely Addictive Tweets.

He's been a guest on The James Altucher Show, The Jordan Harbinger Show, The Art of Manliness, Farnam Street, and Coffee with Scott Adams to discuss sobriety, boxing, growing up in poverty, and physics.

He's also been featured on Ryan Holiday's blog "The Daily Stoic" as well as in James Clear's international best seller, Atomic Habits.

In this interview, we talk about what triggered his sobriety, fatherhood at 40, and many more topics.

Hope you enjoy!
