In this episode of After Peter Pan, Pat sits down with champion boxer Steve Claggett for a powerful conversation about the fight beyond the ring — the inward one. Steve shares how discipline became his way out of a life of partying, drinking, and trouble with the law, and how boxing gave him purpose, structure, and a reason to grow.
They talk about what it really means to go all in, the sacrifices that come with that choice, and why discipline doesn’t feel like suffering when it's tied to something you love. Steve opens up about fear, failure, solitude, and the internal fire that still drives him after 50 fights. This is a story of humility, resilience, and the lifelong journey of understanding yourself.
What You’ll Learn:
- How discipline can be a lifeline, not a punishment
- The power of channeling pain and chaos into purpose
- What it takes to go all in — and stay all in
- How solitude can shape strength
- Why understanding your darker traits can help you grow
