What does it take to become a 12-time national boxing champion, 3-time Olympic Trials champ, Team USA captain, stand-up comic, and full-time motivational speaker… all after getting kicked off the Olympic team?
Today’s guest, Cam F Awesome, has one of the most unforgettable transformation stories you’ll ever hear—equal parts inspiring, hilarious, and jaw-dropping.
Cam went from a bullied, insecure kid who walked six miles a day to a boxing gym… to becoming one of the most decorated amateur boxers in American history. After a paperwork mistake led to a one-year suspension that cost him the 2012Olympics, Cam rebuilt his identity, rewired his mindset, and came back stronger—winning Nationals in 2013, 2014, and 2015.
Now he’s a keynote speaker, stand-up comedian, entrepreneur, and the creator of Comics in the Courtyard, a clean comedy series taking over Texas apartmentcommunities like a pop-up block party.
In this interview, Cam breaks down:
🥊 How to reinvent yourself after major failure
😂 Why humor is one of the most underrated mindset tools
💪 Masculinity, pressure, and mental health (with zero sad piano music)
🌱 Plant-based performance as an elite athlete
🔥 How to rebuild confidence when everything falls apart
🎙️ The mindset behind 400+ fights—and doing comedy right after
If your audience loves stories of resilience, self-mastery, identity, and personal reinvention (with plenty of laughs), thisis an episode they’ll return to again and again.
