Alicia Doyle, The award-winning author of “Fighting Chance” and journalist, talks about the lessons she learned as a two-time Golden Gloves champion boxer and how she has adapted those life lessons, and how it made her strong mentally to live through the pandemic. The harsh lessons from boxing made her career as a journalist easier because she had learned to stick with her story and not be deterred by barriers thrown up to stop her. www.aliciadoyle.com
