From Sickly Kid to Champion Boxer & Celebrity Trainer w/ Ngo Okafor

Send us a text

At 23 years old, I’ve learned that the path to generational wealth, happiness, and financial independence is never a straight line. In this powerful episode of the Walk 2 Wealth Podcast, I sit down with Ngo Okafor—a two-time Golden Gloves boxing champion, fitness entrepreneur, and founder of 28 Days Greater.

But Ngo’s journey didn’t start with a six-pack and success. He grew up a sickly child in Nigeria, battling asthma and a rigid family belief that education—not entrepreneurship—was the only way out. By 15, he was in college. By 18, he realized something vital: he wasn’t fulfilled.

From corporate layoffs to modeling rejections to building a one-of-a-kind gym in the heart of NYC, Ngo shares the raw truth behind chasing fulfillment, finding your purpose, and building a life that feels as good as it looks.

We talk about:

• How to pivot when life derails your plan
• Turning rejection into redirection
• The mindset shift that separates the dreamers from the doers
• What it really takes to build wealth in your 20s
• Why the pursuit of happiness is your ultimate ROI

This episode is a masterclass in resilience, identity, and finding meaning beyond money.
