that said, let me introduce myspecial guest tonight. As I said,

(02:15):
Igor Yana post and Igor first,So why don't you give everybody an overview
of yourself? Sure? So,my name is Igor, and I was
born in the Ukraine nineteen seventy nine, and I came to New York ten
years old with my family and grewup in New York, lived many years
there, and I got involved intopics such as martial arts as a youth.

(02:39):
That was very helpful to me growingup. It helped me in many
ways and professionally as an adult.I studied computer science and got into it
team from information technology and been doingthat for many years. And moved to
Florida about five years ago, andI decided to kind of put two of

(03:00):
these passions and skills together start publishingbooks, you know, about martial arts
and boxing and personal development, whichis another passion of mine, and just
using my t skills to create booksand share information with people and be of
help and the service. All right, we have our first chat in there

(03:21):
from Jesse Steuber. What's up,Scott? Well, you know what,
we're talking books tonight. Jesse,thanks a lot for joining us. We
appreciate you very much. We alwaysenjoy the people that participate in the jet
room. Jesse's been a friend ofthe show and all of our shows,
so we thank him and hopefully we'llhave a lot more traffic. So with
that said, okay, you obviouslysomebody had to find somebody. How did
you end up finding me in theSouth Florida Tribune. Right. I published

(03:47):
these two books, the first onebeing Boxing Homework for Beginners and the second
one being Powerful Social Skills for Teenslast year, and I decided a good
way to promote and to connect withpeople in my communities to reach out to
the influencers. So you know,I reached out to libraries and school districts

(04:08):
and chamber of commerce and stuff,and I reached out to quite a few
radio shows and newspapers and Scott youwere the one who responded to me,
and you told me that you'd beinterested in meeting with me and promoting my
books. Absolutely, And you knowwhat, I'm actually getting a method from
Irma Paron right here as we speakthrough messengers, so you know, and

(04:30):
I think that's the thing that IrmaParon is an individual who I've known a
long long time, and you knowwhat I decided, you know, I
needed a designated show to be ableto promote books, and that's why it
was important to bring you on.You know, you have one of those
great mindsets where you like to goout there and write books. And I

(04:51):
think that's the one thing so manypeople realize that, you know, when
you look at there's so much creativitylocked up in all of this that I
think it's important to be able tobring in out of people. Yes,
absolute, So go ahead and tellme what motivated you to write your first

(05:15):
book, Boxing Home Workouts for Beginners. Sure. Like I said, I
did a lot of martial arts asa youth and as an adult. I
got back into martial arts, especiallywhen I moved here to Florida and a
friend recommended that I take up boxinga few years ago, and I joined
the school here in Coral Springs.It's called ABC Boxing on Wild's Road.

(05:39):
It's run by Scott Ashley, who'sa world champion kick boxer also per former
professional boxer. And so when Istarted boxing there, I fell in love
with the sport. It was justso great for my health, my mindset,
my confidence, and I met alot of other people there at the
school who shared the same outlook.They say it changed their life and in

(06:00):
ways they couldn't anticipate. So Idecided to write a book for beginners,
you know, to tell them howthey could start working out at home.
Maybe they're not writing to join theschool and they have no interest in competing,
but they want to get fit andthey don't want to just go to
the gym and use the machines,and so I figure boxing is an awesome
way to get fit, and Ijust want to share beginner's steps of how

(06:21):
people can start doing that in theirhome, you know, with no money.
They're very cheap. So well,boxing is a sport that's very dear
to me because I've had the opportunityover the years to interview Muhammad Ali,
Sugar, Ray Leonard James, Tony, Chuck Webner, and I've always thought
that boxing is a sport that hassuch a glorious history. It's just a

(06:43):
shame that it's really fallen off themap, is really what it has.
But you know, I think aboutmy history and the sport, it's just
unbelievable. And for you to beable to write a book on boxing for
workouts for beginners, I think isa credit to what you're really doing.
Anyways, I just think that thesweet science Egor to me is unfortunately nowadays

(07:04):
with millennials with the UFC, youknow, these is really being lost and
everything that is incredible past this.I agree, he used to be the
sweet science even a hundred years ago. And I've studied the history of it,
and in New York especially it hada lot of you know, shows
and boxing competitions, so it's changedover the years. So as we go

(07:28):
back on boxing home workouts for beginners, I know, what was your mindset
when you created the idea? Iknow you probably answered it a little bit,
but some people, well, Iknow there's so many different workouts,
but what separates boxing is one whereyou could go out there and differentiated from
the cardio and all those sort ofthings out there because boxing uses a lot

(07:51):
of different body parts. Were cardioyou get diff different types of workouts,
yes, and then boxing. Myexperience has been that it includes all of
those benefits. You get the cardioyou get, the strength training you get
you know, balance, conditioning,endurance, you know, mindset. And
that's what motivated me to write thisbook is because I've never come across any

(08:13):
kind of workout or sport that addressedall of these assets, I mean aspects
in one under one umbrella. Andthat was my experience when I started boxing,
and my fitness grew so much,my footwork improved, my mindset,
my confidence, and most importantly,the coordination skills, you know, the
mind body connection that improves a lotwith boxing, and it doesn't necessarily mean

(08:37):
you have to be professional. I'mnot a professional hobbyist, and I decided
to just share the techniques I learnedand the workouts I learned that ABC boxing
with people who are interested in workingout so well. Boxing for many,
many years is a great Olympic sport, and we saw a lot of great
fighters from all weight classes actually participate. I don't have to get they do

(09:00):
it a lot, but let's faceit, at that time, they were
the headgear when you're dealing with amateursports. Because we all know the residual
effects with boxing are attributed to Parkinson'sdisease. But while we're not going ahead
and talking about it in a senseabout with the residual effect, but one
thing that can't be lost in allthose sense is you've taken a sport and

(09:20):
you've found a way to simply makeit good for home workouts. You find
a lot of people buy those bags, and I know down here in Florida,
we don't have basements, okay wherethey actually buy those things that they're
able to use it in their bedroom. Yeah, So in addition to having
a bag that you can hang andyou know, from a ceiling beam,

(09:41):
which I have in my garage.I talk about that in my book.
You could just get on those standup bags with a base and you could
put it in your living room orbedroom if you don't have a garage,
and you can use that as asubstitute. Excellent. So let's talk about
your second book, Powerful Social Skillsfor Teams. Where did you come up
with that? Well, that's kindof a continuation of my first book because

(10:03):
I do mention boxing and martial artsin general in this book, Powerful Social
Skills for Teens as a motivator anda skill that teens can use to improve
their social life. My motivation isthat as a team myself, I know
that sports and martial arts greatly helpedme even though I was not really socially

(10:24):
confident. And so I know nowadaysteens are all in their on their phones,
their devices, social media, andthey don't really interact a lot with
each other. And I decided Icould share how they could use you know,
sports like boxing and other martial artsimprove their social skills and make friends.
And also, as I said,personal development is a big hobby of

(10:46):
mine. So I worked with asocial worker on this book. He's a
clinical psychologist for teenagers and he designeda lot of the exercises for these teenagers
to use that he's used in hisown practice. So that was my motivation,
is to give back to the teenagecommunity. So are you saying that
these books are interrelated. They arein the related. The first book,

(11:09):
I think is more for adults andthe second book, Social Skills for Teams,
more for teenagers. But the premiseis the same as tools you can
use to empower yourself, you know, when you're struggling in life, and
these are the tools I've used myselfto empower myself. And that's what I
wanted to share. Okay, let'sgo to the comment by Jesse Scuber.
I like what Jesse brings to thetable. Old, nice, great idea.

(11:30):
I want to stay in shape,but I'm getting turned of either having
to go to the gym or doCurdio because Curtier is not easy to do
what I want to do. Iown a home in Alabama, but I'm
no longer down there. So thereyou go. So what's your response to
what Jesse said there? Igor,Well, Jesse, I think you will
enjoy boxing because the workouts that Iexplain in the book, can be not

(11:54):
by anybody in the home or inyour backyard or in the park, and
you don't have to pay for agym membership. And like I said,
you'll see gains really quickly if youstart doing these exercises such a shadow boxing
or hitting the bag or using thejump robe. So I know you said
running is not your thing, butthere's many other techniques and workouts you can

(12:15):
do that can get you really fitwithout going to the gym. Now,
when you let's go back to boxingfor a moment, because I'm often wondered
about this. Did you ever drawanything from the Rocky movies about the way
he had his feet tight in alittle bit and some of the movements where
there are certain body parts restricted sothat you're able to be able to incorporate
that into what you're doing. Yeah, absolutely, I mean these kind of

(12:39):
restricted exercises, I mean we didquite quite a few of those at the
school ABC Boxing, and that reallyYeah, that really helps. I think
that helps more for people who aretraining, you know, to compete and
fight. It's not really necessary forbeginners, but if you want to challenge
yourself, then definitely it helps.For work and you know, keeping your
elbows in and stuff like that.Face the reality one of the most popular

(13:05):
boxing louis of all time as arocky series where a lot of people can
relate to it, especially since there'sbeen a continuation in the sequels, not
like it ended at one or two, but it ended with five or six
of them. And that's why I'mbringing that up. All right. So,
what, like anything else, youhave to have an idea, igor
how long has this idea I've beenin your head. Let's start with boxing

(13:26):
home workouts for beginners. So there'salways an idea and there's always a way
for what you have it in yourhead. So how long has it been
there until you decided time to doit? I would say about two years
I start. I joined the ABCBoxing School here in College Springs about two
years ago. And what motivated mewas, you know Coach Scott. Coach

(13:52):
Scott the owner of the school.He wrote a book too, it's called
The Road to the title. It'sabout his life and how you know he
became professional boxer kickbox and he grewup in New York and stuff. And
I'm not at his level for sure, and he had a very long life.
But I thought, well, maybeI could write something that could motivate
people too, just beginners at leastto start using boxing. And so that's

(14:13):
been in my mind for about twoyears. Okay, well let's go to
the second, but powerful social skillsfor teams. You know, obviously you
put the first one to bed,so you decided to go out there and
work on the second. Was thereany particular time when that began to get
your wheels turning? Well, I'dsay this topic has been on my mind

(14:33):
for many years. Like I said, like personal development and self empowerment have
always been my interests, my hobbyso to speak. And for many years
now, maybe over five years,I've wanted to give back something to the
teenage community, and I didn't knowhow to do it. At first,
I thought maybe I could get involvedwith an orphanage and don't donate some money.
But then I decided, well,I could write a book with all

(14:56):
these skills and strategies that teenagers Ibelieve in these days, you know,
to empower themselves to be more socialand improve their social skills. And I'd
say about five years it's been onmy mind and percolating. So when you
began writing them. Okay, obviously, like anything else, the way I

(15:16):
look at it is, were youlooking to hire a ghostwriter or did you
sign I'm going to do this onmy own and see how I can do
this, because sometimes people are tentativeabout writing something like this or they're looking
to take the plunge and see what. Oh, it's not as bad as
I thought it was. Well,that's a good question. I don't consider
myself a writer. That's not mybackground. But the first book, boxing

(15:39):
workouts for beginners, I pretty muchrude myself, just with the help of
you know, chat gpt to formit and edit stuff, but mostly that
was my own creation. But thesecond book, I actually did work with
a ghostwriter like I said he was. It was actually a clinical psychologist who
works with teenagers and he helped writethis book. So I gave him outline

(16:00):
and the topics and all the chaptercontents and he put the exercises and the
materials together. So I took thatapproach. Okay, so let's talk about
how you're marketing your books. Howare you marketing There's many ways to do
it. I find the free waysare usually very effective, such as using

(16:23):
Goodreads, dot com, which isa website. It's owned by Amazon,
and that's where authors can connect withreaders, and readers can connect with authors,
and authors can connect with each other, review each other's books, read
each other's books, comment on them, start a discussion. So that's been
a very helpful website for me toget reviews. You know, before I

(16:45):
launched the book, I did someFacebook advertisements, I joined some books some
Facebook groups, for example, forteenagers, there's groups that are specifically geared
for parents of teenagers or teenage skillssocial skills groups. So I joined some
of those group and just promoted mybooks and gave away free copies to people
who were interested and asked them fora review on Amazon. Again, both

(17:08):
of those ways are free. Butbeyond that, you know, big scale
marketing does require some advertising, soI started running Amazon ads and I got
into that as well as even writingpay that Facebook ads. So those have
been like my four main methods ofadvertising. Let's go back to the chair
room. George Eikorn love Build theRocky movies. I think they were all

(17:32):
good. I don't know. Forsome reason, I like one through four
the most, and then maybe theone with his son, and then Tommy
Morris. They didn't do a wholelot for me, but again everybody has
a different taste. Okay, backto Jesse and almost thirty vt W so
and then the adult book is morefor me. So there you go.

(17:52):
It just goes to show you youhave two different books that meet different types
of criterias. What you do,which is why when you go out there
and come up with most you're lookingfor age, you know where you put
the demographics is what you do.So all right, so I guess the
biggest hardest question you're going to haveto answer. No, I'll really put
you on the spot all night.Why should people buy your first book?

(18:15):
Well, I believe there's not alot of guidance out there for people to
work out at home, you know, with non traditional ways. I think
most exercise books revolve around weights orgyms or equipment. And I know there's
a lot of yoga and all thatthose kinds of books, and they're all
great. I've tried them all myself, but I haven't seen any boxing books
that actually are geared towards beginners andhow to use boxing as a workout regiment.

(18:40):
And I think that's where it's unique. So if you're looking to get
fit and to get in great shapeand build your strength and agility and your
coordination, I think boxing will bevery unique. This book will be very
unique for you, and it's goingto work because it's short, it's to
the point, and exercises are veryeasy to follow. So how long would
you say that a boxing workout shouldtake in this book? I advise about

(19:03):
an hour, But of course Ialso advise people who just started their own
pace. You know, everybody's startingmaybe from beginning, So run maybe a
couple of miles, or walk acouple of miles, and then do some
jump rope and then do some hitthe back for a few minutes, So
you start wherever you can. Let'sgo back to the chat room. Okay,
Candy Evil and your adult boxing.Is it for women as well as

(19:25):
men? Yes, it's for everybody. And I actually have pictures in that
book, you know, women usingjump ropes or women hitting the bags as
well as men doing it, Soit's for both genders. Okay, Joshua
Bursty, friend of the show,what's going on? I'll tell you what's
going on. Igor is talking acouple of books and some a lot of

(19:47):
books. Here that a lot ofindividuals can relate. That's what's going on.
So glad you could be a partof the whole show, Joshua and
of course George Wakeer. We haveyoung boys and girls taking up boxing in
a Jimmy Detroit and they seem tolove the sport. Yeah, it's a
great sport for teens. And inthe boxing studio where I signed up in

(20:07):
here in Correl Springs, Florida,most of the competitors were tines, you
know, teens to early twenties,and it's a great sport for teenagers,
like it really builds confidence. Okay, let's go after second book. Why
should people go out there and getthe second one? Powerful social skill for
teens. I think this is prettygood when you deal with the teenagers nowadays,
let alone any era. Yes,I think this book is also unique

(20:33):
and has a lot of value becauseit addresses several things. First of all,
it addresses, you know the benefitof martial arts and including boxing as
well as other martial arts, andhow teens can use it to make friends,
to meet friends at these martial artsstudios, to get their friends on
board to come join them and gotrain with them. I think that's very
unique. I haven't seen many books, you know, for teens advising or

(20:56):
supporting them to take that approach.Another unique aspect of this book is it
touches on topic that's really relevant andtimely, such as you know, social
media could be very distracting and detrimentto teenage social life. They need to
get out there and connect in person. And again, I haven't seen too
many books that address this issue fortoday's teens, and my book does go

(21:19):
into a great detail. Like Isaid, a clinical psychologists wrote a lot
of these exercises behavioral cognitive behavioral exercisesfor teams to follow that I think they're
very unique, and I think they'llbe better than many other books out there.
So are you saying that one ofyour objectives was not one, but
both books is to try to bevery different and take people away from the

(21:41):
normal of how they go about doingthings. I think the one word I
preferce okay, it's different. I'velearned in all my years in the media
that if you're different, then thatto me stands out from the crowd.
Yes, and I wanted to bedifferent. I wasn't trying to copy anybody.
I just wanted to give my ownpersonal experience and stuff that works,
and I wanted to give that,you know, to the readers, and

(22:03):
I want it to be different andmost importantly effective. I wanted these strategies
and techniques to be effective. OhRalph Williams, he's another friend of the
show, so you got an audience. You are look at this chat room.
I love reading it. And we'regetting him from a lot of different
ways. So the main thing ishow can it people get both your books?

(22:26):
So they're all They're both in Amazon. You could find you could find
them under my name Egorgana Polsky.The second book is published onund their pen
name Max Smith, because I wantedto use a pen name for his first
as my first book in this category, and I just wanted I wanted to
use a pen name. I wasn'tcomfortable using my own name. But both
books are on Amazon Egorganic Polsky andMax Smith. Like I said, I'm

(22:49):
also on goodreads dot com, whichlinks to Amazon because Amazon owns good Reads.
I'm also on LinkedIn. UH ifanybody he's interested in contacting me,
I could say and send you afree reader copy of any of these books.
And lastly, I'm also on theIndependent Authors Network. It's a website

(23:10):
for you know, self, publishersand authors, and that's Independent Authors Network
dot com. And you'll find bothof my books then they're my name,
iborgan post. Is there an advantageto using your regular name versus a pen
name? I think a lot ofpeople have often wondered me. First,
I'd rather have my own name,but some people may not be comfortable giving
out their personal information, so I'llalways stick to my own name. But
what about you? You obviously wantboth directions. Yeah, I haven't gotten

(23:34):
in both directions. I wanted tofind out for myself. I don't think
there is anything good or bad eitherway. Personally, I would prefer using
my real name going forward for myfuture books. But like I said in
this category that I wrote Social Skillsfor Teens. It was my first book,
and you know, I just feltmore comfortable given a pen name.
And see how that goes. ButI don't think there's anything wrong or right

(23:56):
with it. So you're saying thefirst one of teens is your first book?
Is that correct? No, theboxing Workouts for Beginners or my first
book, and that's my okay.Just to make sure we clarify, you
went with your original name Egor Ganapolskifor boxing, then you opt to go
to pen name second. Is thatcorrect? Correct? So in that category
for teenagers and Amazon, you knowthat specific niche that was my first book

(24:18):
there, That's why I went witha pen name. So okay, Well,
just to let everybody know that IgorOrganipolski will be a guest on Punded
Spundent in about three or four weeksfrom now, we have other plans.
I want to make an announcement.Well, Egor is on the line that
I have named him senior advisor forthe south Ord Distribute Publishing division. Egor
is going to be helping me outwith guidance to try to steer me in

(24:41):
the right direction. And this isan area where I really need him,
and obviously he's been through a lotmore experience in from the marketing. I
think between the two of us,we'll be able to create a very interesting
dynamic not only doing this show toother shows together, but we're also have
plans to do a Southford Distribute podcastshow where we'll talk about book publishing as
well. So Igor Ganapolski obviously theauthor of two books and now he's going

(25:04):
to join me here at the SouthWord, a Tribune once again as Senior
Advisor advisor for the book publishing division, and it's important that everybody has good
people around him. I'm very proudof the people I have around me,
but this is an area that I'mgoing to be spending more time and as
time goes on, in addition toreporting and events and as well as doing

(25:25):
a lot of meaningful broadcasts. SoI thought it was important to bring him
on here. Just let everybody knowthat at nine o'clock PM Eastern time,
we had the Sports Exchange. JbEllis, Jacob Christner, George I,
Corn and I will be on tonight, So if you can hang around here
and stay on on our network andthen we'll have some good, meaningful sports
talk as well. So anything elseyou want to add igor about what we've

(25:45):
talked about. I know you andI have a lot of good plans ahead
of us, but what are youlooking to accomplish in terms of what our
relationship is going forward? To writebooks that could educate and empower people and
be different. Like you said,not copy anybody and not try to follow
anybody's lead. But really, youknow you have a lot of experience got

(26:07):
in your industry. I have someexperience in my own life and just be
different and provide value to people withour own experience. Well, I expect
us to be a great one twopunch and I know that again with my
broadcasting background, social media, andI've written a lot George Eichorn to so
you know who you see in thechat room. Him and I have been
working together for over forty four yearsand we ended up getting our first gig

(26:30):
together when I was a producer atWXYZ Radio, which was ABC in Detroit.
So I'm going to surround you witha lot of media people in addition
to my working relationship with those inSideline Sports as well. You'll get to
know Jacob Christner, Denzel Snipes,myself, and Georgia on that show.
But then it's going to be youand I talking about book and publishing as

(26:53):
well. So I pretty much wantto make sure that your books got out
there. And for Irma Paron whois watching the show or at least knows
about it. Irma, the reasonwhy you're mentioning on here is your book.
Okay, whether you know it ornot, Okay, it's still they're
watching that show. It doesn't Peopledon't always have to watch a show immediately

(27:15):
one or two, three days afterthe fact. They can be watching the
months later. That's the advantage ofhaving a network where we don't take anything
off. And that's exactly why everythingwe do lives on for good. And
that's why Igor has just found himselfon this network because this show will live
on and his case has been awful. Lot more to do as we start

(27:37):
to expand our platforms with his bookson other websites as well as ours as
well. So it's an interesting dynamicand I've always liked challenges to be able
to do exactly what we've done todo. So I'll go over this one
more time. Okay. The Reeland the Rare is being broadcast around the

some of the things igor that youtook from my book? Because I know
you've had an opportunity to look atit a couple of times. My favorite
thing that took from your book iswhen you talk about when you were getting
started in the radio industry. Youknow, as a young man you face

(29:04):
some challenges, you know, frompeople who were more experienced, and they
gave you pushback on where you're allowedto say, well you're not allowed to
say, and you you kind oftook the boat by the horns, and
you showed initiative, and you usedto form what you believe in, and
you said, you know stuff onthe radio that you believe then, and
you open up opportunities for yourself.I think it's a great lesson for young
people, anybody starting out in anyindustry. Just be brave and bold and

(29:27):
be yourself. And not only that, I appreciate you saying that, it's
also the book is designed to makesure a lot of folks that are a
little bit older understand if you didn'tknow much about the media, I try
to go out there and let everybodyknow that this is how it was and
this is how it is, andif we don't adapt to change, okay,
then obviously it's going to be somethingthat'll it'll get past us and,

(29:49):
by the way, get used towhen you're a new co host Jacob Christner,
who you're going to meet in amatter of a few weeks on the
Pundon's fundent. So you know,and I appreciate you saying that again.
And anytime you find that people areable to look for you, you know,
in any way, whether it's schoolor not, it's always a pleasure
to meet new people. And thisis about power of networking. Egor,

(30:10):

individuals, and it so happens thatas it stands right now, we've got
