In this episode of Sports Will Save Us All, Sasha is joined by the incredible Cam F. Awesome—12-time national boxing champion, 3-time Olympic Trials champion, and former captain of the USA National Boxing Team. But the stats barely scratch the surface of this man’s story.
Cam’s journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and comedy, and today, he shares the highs and lows that shaped his path. After a heartbreaking setback in 2012, Cam legally changed his name to symbolize a fresh start and a new chapter. What name did he choose? Cam F. Awesome—a name that epitomizes his upbeat, unstoppable attitude.
But that’s just the beginning. From traveling to over 30 countries representing Team USA to performing stand-up comedy, being featured in the Netflix documentary Counterpunch, and now inspiring others as a motivational speaker, Cam’s life is a masterclass in turning adversity into opportunity.
In this conversation, we dive deep into his boxing career, the personal struggles that fueled his transformation, and the power of humor and motivation in overcoming life's challenges. Cam’s story is proof that no matter how hard the fight, there’s always room for a knockout comeback.
You can find Cam on all of the socials @CamFAwesome, and via his website, www.CamFAwesome.com.
