In this raw and unfiltered episode, I sit down with professional boxer Fred Johnson—a man who knows what it means to fight battles both in and out of the ring.
Fred opens up about his journey from street fights to sanctioned bouts, and how boxing became more than a sport—it became survival, discipline, and redemption. We dig into the mindset it takes to prepare for war, the pressure of performing when the world’s watching, and the reality of rebuilding your life when the odds are stacked against you.
This isn’t just about boxing. It’s about brotherhood, resilience, and staying ready when life swings hard. If you’ve ever struggled with fear, doubt, or wanted to give up, this conversation is for you.
