On this episode, hosts Geoffrey Luna and Jonathan Gonzalez sit down with professional boxer George “El Yuyu” Acosta to discuss the ins and outs of his boxing career. From rehydration strategies to navigating weight cuts, George offers valuable insights into the world of boxing and the importance of nutrition in sports and daily life. We'll also explore the business side of boxing, George's YouTube channel, and his inspiring journey from a young boxer to a professional athlete. Join us as we uncover the passion, dedication, and personal journey of George Acosta in this captivating episode of Real Moves.
George Acosta grew up in a family that had a passion for boxing, with his mother being supportive despite the violent nature of the sport. His father also encouraged his pursuits, allowing George to give boxing a try after his older brother had already taken it up. Though there was some initial disagreement with his mother when he was younger, George's family ultimately supported his interest in the sport. This early exposure to boxing and his family's acceptance laid the foundation for George's future career in the ring.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
