That is 21 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: not the case with Michael Elijah Day Jr. Quick backstory. 22 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: I actually interviewed him many years ago. I was doing 23 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: some work for Men's Health magazine. I was writing for them, 24 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: and I was also shooting some videos. They wanted me 25 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: to interview. I think it was five people for their 26 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: website and for some other things as a reporter, and 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: I got to choose five people, and I chose Michael 28 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: Elijah Day Jr. As one. Let me tell you who 29 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: he is, all right. Michael Elaja Day Jr. Was is 30 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: a former championship boxer and now international fitness expert. At 31 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: a teen, Michael began his career as a professional boxer, 32 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: trained by some of the best, his father, Michael Laja 33 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: Da Sr. And a couple others, including renowned boxing coach 34 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: Angelo Dundee. I'm not a huge boxing guy. I know 35 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: that name. He did. He coached Muhammad Ali, Sugar, Ray 36 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: Leonard and more. Okay. Michael was known as Silk for 37 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: his exceptionally smooth footwork, his hand speed, and his head movement. 38 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: His boxing record was twenty eight wins and four losses, 39 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: with twenty wins by knockout. He earned four championship titles 40 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: and he became the number one ranked middleweight contender in 41 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: the world. Okay, this guy is the real deal. I 42 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: only bring you this guy is the real deal. His 43 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: boxing career highlights include in he fought Thomas the Hitman 44 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: Hearns for the World super middleweight title.

All right, but 48 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: then he had to retire. In he will talk about that. 49 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: He was sparring and a guy clocked him twice. He'll 50 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: talk about it, and if you want to crazy videos, 51 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: if you watch it sparring, this guy was not supposed 52 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: to hit him the way he did twice, basically made 53 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: him legally blind in one eye. All Right. He still 54 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: fought after that, and I'm sure he'll talk about that, 55 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: still fought, crazy, resilient, And then he had to retire. 56 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: And what did he do. Did he sit back and 57 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: feel bad for himself? No. He took those smooth moves 58 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: he perfected in the ring, and he combined them with 59 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: basic conditioning movements such as jumping rope, push ups and 60 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: lower body lunges. He pioneered the innovative and challenging arrow 61 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: workout so he created his own system including aerobox, erro jump, 62 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: aero sculpt and arrow impact that used the training techniques 63 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: of that he learned in boxing to help his clients 64 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: achieve optimum health. This is what happens when you're really 65 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: good and the real deal as he was. That led 66 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: to him getting asked to work for on movie sets. 67 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: He worked with Spike Lee, Michael Mann, and George Wolfe 68 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: who asked him to serve as a consultant on their 69 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: films and theatrical productions.

It's not even about us for for a 93 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: huge part of it, it's about being role models for 94 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: our kids. Sure, weight losses is something will achieve and 95 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: all those other healthy things, but one major reason to 96 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: be fit and to to be a lead a healthy lifestyle, 97 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: eating exercise is for our kids.

Well, I kind of started late 132 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: in boxing actually, so and uh, I started when I 133 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: was about fifteen years old. It was like ninety seventy nine, 134 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: and and my father had a gym, and so I 135 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: went there and I and I learned how to box. 136 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: And my amateur career was really short, and all of 137 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, I just it was like it 138 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: was time to go pro. So it was like a 139 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: year and a half into my amateur career I telled 140 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: pro and and we just made a fun out of Bancouver, Canada, 141 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: and we made a lot of strides, a lot of 142 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: great in roads that way. All of a sudden, I 143 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,239 Speaker 1: got a call from from from it was Atlantic City, 144 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: and he wanted me to fight this guy, Curtis Parker. 145 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: So I went over the I city. Never been there before. 146 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: I'd seen him fighting on national TV and he was 147 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: world ranked. I was my word hard enough when I 148 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: was young enough to get out of the way he 149 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: was punches. So I wonder to fight. And from there 150 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: Madison School Garden called. They were like, yo, we don't 151 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: need the fight for us in the guard and I 152 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: ended up there. And but there's Lars Dreas and p G. 153 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: I thought different parts of the world. And so the 154 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: career x floaded really fast and and but as fastest 155 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: thing you can go up, they can come down. And 156 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, I'm twenty six years 157 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: of age and I have an eye injury.

But what was different? 192 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: How did you turn it around so quickly and so positively? 193 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: You know? Um some people have like yeah, drug stores 194 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: like that, that nightlife for different Everyone has their own saying. 195 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: Mind was. I was extremely dedicated to what I did, 196 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: and that had and natural fear of like of losing, 197 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: and I didn't like paying very much either. So but 198 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: what happened. I had had a terrible eye injury and 199 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: uh in a spawning incident early like in e six, 200 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: and it really messed me out really bad, and I 201 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: started having double vision, and which smelled a good thing. 202 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: Where practice the pieces at that time that was in 203 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: the middle eVision so um so um. I took it 204 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: as far as I could. But then once you get 205 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: to a certain level of fighter, like, uh, you know, 206 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: I was beating guys that were like you know, at 207 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: first they were like rated number fifteen in the world, 208 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: number ten, rated number nine. I seemed to start getting 209 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: up that I started like guys number five at great 210 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: number three, and then I'm finding guys for the world title, 211 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: and you just can't get away with anything at that point. 212 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: It's like the the error for a mistake is so 213 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: small and and and they all hit hard in the 214 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: middleweight division, all hit hardly, all hit fast, now hit often, 215 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: and and my style is about hidden not getting hit. 216 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: Like there's some guys that are built like pro Magnan, 217 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: I think it take that's something a sick browse, you 218 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: know what I mean, And they got a hot skin, 219 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: and it's like, uh, but you know, my name was 220 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: still I was like sticking move right. I wasn't that 221 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: guy like you the Rocky. I'm not a kicking on 222 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: the landmark. I'm trying to land multiples and not take 223 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: any um. So you know, it's it's as like everyone 224 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: has air own different way to hunt. Some of us, 225 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: to cheer, some of us, alliance more of us are 226 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, different things, And so that's 227 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: more or less more or less you know, um, that 228 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: injury affected my performance and my form. So I started 229 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: to get worse, and I started to loose the guys 230 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: that I didn't think I should have lost to, and 231 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: and injuries when doing something like bolk, it's kind of 232 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: intitious persons. I feel like nothing, and you find yourself 233 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: taking punches that you shouldn't be taking, you know what 234 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: I mean. But you don't really see the damage of 235 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: carting yourself till the end. And then that's the one 236 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: major fight that I just you know, I actually hurt 237 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: myself punching somebody. I was like, this is If this 238 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: isn't a start for me to get out, then you know, 239 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what is. And so I was twice 240 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: six and uh, and it was really young, and I 241 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: still had a lot of fire and desire to like 242 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: to get that world titled. That and I got to 243 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: number one in the world, but I didn't get to 244 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: be world champion. And I kind of that was my fuel. 245 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of it's like also my mom. 246 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: She was she's very much like a competitive individual as 247 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: much as my dad. Like, you know, I needed a 248 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: professional fighter as well, But I think I inherited that 249 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: from hers. It's always been keeping, always finished all and 250 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: so I never I never got a chance to get 251 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: my world title. So I I just used to this 252 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: fuel to do something else. And that's how the oh, 253 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: I think my Bossing for Fitness program started and then 254 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: that's found me what to keep it real and keep 255 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: it moving until today. So I love that, Michael. And 256 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: you know we do different things. I do the endurance 257 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: races and you know it sounds so cliche. We talked 258 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: about it all the time, how you know, Yeah, like 259 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: that sports, that fitness translates over to life, that it's 260 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: so much more than weight loss. And you talk about 261 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: that in your videos and you're writing as well, and 262 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: that's what I think you had, you know, master Square 263 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: Garden middleweight contender, uh number one in the world, I 264 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: mean crazy, and then you have the humongous setback where 265 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 1: you could have just said it's over. But everything you 266 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: learned from your mom and your dad. I want to 267 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: talk about that in a second, but from fitness to 268 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: about not get you know, I love you know the 269 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: Mike Tyson line. Everyone has a plan till someone you 270 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: get punched in the face, right, and we all get 271 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: punched in the face. But what fitness teaches us rights 272 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: you get back up. You get back up, and you 273 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: got back up amazingly and turned it into this incredible business. Um. 274 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: And so you attribute a lot of that to your parents, 275 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: thank you. I attribute a lot to my parents, Yes, 276 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: and you know, tell me I kind of I'm always 277 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: like I think I've have like brain so much of 278 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: that these like these things, and I think about exactly 279 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: what you're seeing, like when you're it's about adapting. And 280 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: it's like I have a saying it called a O 281 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: D adapted die. It's kind of like if you did 282 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: like dinosaurs did in the depths. So guess what you 283 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: know what I mean like if I if I wanted 284 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: to achieve what I thought I was, I'm able to 285 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: if I wanted to hit my I don't just achieve 286 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: the things that I thought I should achieve for myself 287 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: personally as well as you know, um getting the gift 288 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: of fitness to other people. It's like I have to, 289 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: like endoy, I have to change up. I can't do this. 290 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: And if you're going to get in shape, who could 291 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: teach you how to get in shape better than an athlete? 292 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: That's what they do for a living. It's like you know, 293 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: the one of the especially with someone like boxing. The 294 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: boxing is such an endured endurance sport, but explosive and 295 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: fast it can be and it could be a stract 296 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: that are incremental weather. Today you walk out the door, 297 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: to be anything um and so this is like fighting 298 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: as well. It could be anything, and you have to 299 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: be able to adapt because things are always changing. You're 300 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: not always in control of them. So they say you 301 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: have to be able to take a shot. Yes, but 302 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: we also have to be able to avoid a shot. 303 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: You have to be able to avoid the punches. You 304 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: have to be able to cause it to deflect because 305 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: you know when when the punches at you, it's actually 306 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: there's an opportunity there. We'll fight. This is like this. 307 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: If a man doesn't punch out't you just hold his 308 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: head around his hand and if he doesn't engage, it's 309 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: so hard to knock him out. You could win, but 310 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: it's very very hard the guys to comematch you and 311 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: really too conscious with the intent to hit you. They 312 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: also leave an opening for you to hit them. That's 313 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: the kind of thing you always want to fight, really 314 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: the most dangerous one because they will always give you 315 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: an opportunity, but you know, get out of the way. 316 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: But so it's it, that's just right, I mean, like 317 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: it's just exactly the same. That's my experience. You know, 318 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: you've used strive stress things in your life. Those who 319 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: it's all one and the same, a physical fight and 320 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: mental fight, whatever it is, it's all the same to you. 321 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: And now I can use those those attributes in boxing, 322 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: and I can think about them, and I can use 323 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: them in my business life and my personal life because 324 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: I've really had a great experience. I love it. That's 325 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: I love that. I've never heard of put that way, Michael, 326 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: that it's the can you say it again quickly? The 327 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: guy who is so he leaves you in opening the 328 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: more dangerous. So you actually want to fight the person 329 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: who or go up against the more challenging person, because 330 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: because that has opportunity. I love that. Yes, the guy 331 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: who will move its hands, the guys who are full 332 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: punches that you will initiate that I will give you 333 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: an opportunity to counterparts. And and so once you make 334 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: a miss, you can make them pay because their hands 335 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: are await from their face and they're thinking offense. So 336 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: as soon as the men's hands are always from their face, 337 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: there's an open Now it's it's like, you know, it's 338 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: kind of like where they cause when they're you know, 339 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: the bombs taking the ball apart. You have to be 340 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: careful because there's some guys that I mean the present 341 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: kale ages and stuff like that. So you need to 342 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: take that bubble apart delicately. But it's much better to 343 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: fight that type of fighter than your stuff fight the 344 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: guy it doesn't really engage at all, which is always 345 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: a part that's so so yeah, So you know, stop 346 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: avoiding the easy stuff, right and and the hard stuff, 347 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: as you and I both know, sometimes because you get 348 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: that opportunity. I love that absolutely, Tom. I mean, you know, 349 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: it's like you feel so much more like a sensibly 350 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: you take something on your teeth on that challenging your 351 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: accomplish it or even if you just hit it head 352 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: on and you get it right as a reward there 353 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: because that's how you have to reach and get to 354 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: another level. Whereas you know, when you teach something that's 355 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: easy and predictable, it's kind of like there's not any 356 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,959 Speaker 1: real payoff to it. And we live in and I 357 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: love that, and we live in a world where that 358 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: is not celebrated as much, I would argue. And I 359 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 1: think you too were close same age as it used 360 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: to be. And and yeah, I mean I do the 361 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: Iron Man's you did the boxing. They're different, but they're 362 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: so similar, and um, so let's let's talk about the 363 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: line your dad had to Let's just go because it 364 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: kind of ties in. I've got two boys now. Michael 365 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: and I talked about, you know, motivation When I was 366 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: younger was vanity and it was business, but now it's kids, Like, 367 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: it's a huge part. I want to you know, I 368 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: want to be a great role model for my kids, 369 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: and in a world where we got obesity and all 370 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. And your dad influenced you, my 371 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: dad influenced me, and so this is an opportunity when 372 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: people are thinking, oh, exercises just about me losing weight. No, 373 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: it's about you being a great example to so many 374 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: other people, including your kids, right, which is what you 375 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: had myself. One just graduated Naval Academy. You know, I'm 376 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,959 Speaker 1: still in school. And my older and I was like, 377 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: it's really just went to school and I always taught 378 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: when he was a kid, Like, uh, Genetically, you know, 379 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: moms in shape, I'm in shape. So genetically they inherited 380 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: certain things, so their body is going to be able 381 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: to prown calories easier, or they just have a certain 382 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: you know, just a certain metabolism, the higher metabolism, so 383 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: they'll get away with it. But if they're not working out, 384 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: there's some things they're making more than just a physical 385 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: the lessons and that come with it, but what's even 386 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: more than that. Like I remember telling them when he 387 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: was like five six seven, let's just do a little 388 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: boxing focus ma jump broke that.

Great look. And 493 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: I didn't realize he was that big. I knew he 494 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: was fit and I started watching videos. So he's a 495 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: real deal. Listen, standing the line, everyone's jealous me. Everybody 496 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: that was on the shoes there, every single individual comes 497 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: by like he's prototypicals not. I mean, it's like he's 498 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: got it all and he really makes it happen. But 499 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: he's he's down on earth. He's fun, he's you know 500 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: what I mean, he's really into it. So there's myself, 501 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: like a slew of other great trainers that it's just 502 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: thing um and they make the workout so much fun, energetic, 503 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: and I know I always say I've always hate the 504 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: work fun. You want to come to workout because I 505 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: took I look at working out as a as a 506 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: as a as a job is an a sassy like 507 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: we're saying, and and no matter what you do, fun 508 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: or not, you have to get it done because it's 509 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,479 Speaker 1: about it's bettering yourself, giving yourself longevity, is energy, just 510 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: so many things. But he really does like smiling all 511 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: the way through, happening a good time and pushing himself 512 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: to that limit, you know what I mean. Like redlining 513 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: in a workout is so important that's so left out 514 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: in fitness today, in general fitness, you have the redline 515 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: and be able to operate in that area of discomfort. 516 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: And that's what some of these workouts have the potential 517 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: of doing. Like with my workouts on set, so I 518 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: do jump over the shout something. I do things that 519 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: your body are used isn't used to and I'm working 520 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: your space and advice I used to. So it's going 521 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: to be uncomfortable until you get familiar with it and 522 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, but it's like a nice gradually moving you 523 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: into that. It's something to hit you with this stuff 524 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: over the head, you think because graduation, all of a sudden, 525 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: you find yourself doing these things that you didn't think 526 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: we're possible if you sat there and there would be 527 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: more set of tapers out and then would be able 528 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: to see that and then a month down the road 529 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: you have to cut your vascular endurance. You have the 530 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: muscular coordination, uh and you have the strength and that 531 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: everyone can do it. There's and that's what such a 532 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: beautiful experience with the centers seeing this happened. I love that. 533 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: And so what Michael was just talking about, And we 534 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 1: did a couple of shows recently when with Dr Michelle 535 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: Olson on interval training. So when he talks about going 536 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: outside and redlining, you're going outside your compor zone. But 537 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: here's the thing, everybody, that's your comfort zone and you're 538 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: not there that long. So in other words, when you're 539 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: truly interval training and boxing is one of the greatest forms, right, Michael, 540 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: I just getting ready for this show too. I was like, 541 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: I want to try. I haven't jumped open a while. 542 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: I tried to do a minute straight. I made it 543 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: forty two seconds right without you know, without missing. But 544 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: it's like, yes, we always talk about the yeah butts Michael. 545 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: People say, yeah, but I don't have a lot of time. Yeah, 546 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: but I don't I don't want to go to the gym. Yeah, 547 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: but I don't want to spend a lot of money. Okay, 548 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: boxing a jump rope and that's it, you know, gloves whatever, 549 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: and now you have access, yes, and now like listen, everybody, 550 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: I just pulled it up as we're talking, Michael said, 551 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: Center it's c E N t R dot com. Pull 552 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: it up and just watch. It opens with video and 553 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: you're seeing everything going on, including Michael. But you now 554 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,719 Speaker 1: have options to do this in the privacy of your 555 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: own home with a world class former professional boxer. I mean, Michael, 556 00:27:54,080 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: the yeah, butts are gone gone. It's just amazing. But uh, 557 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: and the thing is, you don't have to go to 558 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: a gym anymore, you know what I mean. You could 559 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: do it in your home. It's on your phone. You 560 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: can go anywhere in the world. There was, like, you know, 561 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: the fact that you had to go to a gym 562 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: and enjoy it and take the class, all those kinds 563 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: of things. Just like, no, not anymore. It's a new world. 564 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: It's a new time. It's new fitness. It's right, you 565 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And it's intriguing. It's like it 566 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: because you again, there's something with purpose where some maneuvers 567 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: don't have any purpose to them. And that's and that 568 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: comes down to like the ego given workouts, you know 569 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: what I mean for menis arms for the women's but 570 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: and then for like both sexes, is that have It's 571 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: about the engine not the engine. First, get your heart right, first, 572 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: get to get your CARDI bacty system like, lest get 573 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: your blood glowing, that kind of stuff, and everything else 574 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: would take care of yourself.

And it's like, it's about consistency. 585 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: It's not about being crazy with your workouts, right, It's 586 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: about showing up every day.

Emulating what does your fitness 595 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: is going to take time, you know what I mean. 596 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: Boxes have great stamina and they have focus more than 597 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: just a physical As we get older, we stop getting 598 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: that power on the back like it's where the message 599 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: people need to hear more and more, Michael, And it's 600 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: you know your story is is incredible.

So um. 702 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: And it's interesting because I've always talked about you know, 703 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: of course, when you're in fitness and you're living fitness 704 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: and your and it's your profession, it seems like I 705 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: really I really realized how much easier it is to ki, 706 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: you know, I just I took it for granted. And 707 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: even look even after he's retired after to do the 708 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 1: same thing. You take your fitness for grants after a while. 709 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: But now I had like six months out of teaching. 710 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: Every day I'm teaching, if it's being so the poces cheating, 711 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: like wait a minute, Now I have to be and 712 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: now I have to be a person who I have 713 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: been teaching. Now I have to physically disipline myself to 714 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,320 Speaker 1: take that time out even if it's just like half 715 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: hour and that even if it's your half hour, even 716 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, and get that jump broke and you know, 717 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,240 Speaker 1: and and do the things that are going to allow 718 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: me to continue to to enjoy the fitness that I've 719 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: enjoyed for so long. It's really important and no one 720 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: to take af advantage because your body will do that 721 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,359 Speaker 1: to you. It'll make you think everything aside. And if 722 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: it's go all of a sudden, bam, you know, the tile, 723 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 1: blood or something, you know, and then you have to 724 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: start adapting or you know, it's almost like the world. 725 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: You don't you don't want, you don't want things in 726 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 1: like to move against. You want to keep that positive 727 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: energy always flowing. And that's my movement and exploring all 728 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: sorts of different types of movement. It's important. I love that. 729 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: You know, it's something that ya nemication for the planted, 730 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: always do it, and then I'm always doing that. Now 731 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm back on it now and I'm teaching class. I 732 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: can't keep up with waiting. It's so wrong. So that's 733 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 1: such a that's such an honest well, And that's one 734 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: of the reasons I said I didn't want to own 735 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: a gym. I mean mine was different. You know, you 736 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: were actually teaching, and I taught a little bit, but 737 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: mine was more about, you know, being behind a desk, 738 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 1: and I go, that's not why I'm in this industry. 739 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to sit behind a desk, and it's 740 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: not about signing as many people up for a gym. 741 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: But what I love you, said Michael, because this is 742 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: my philosophy, is you said, and as we get older 743 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: I just turned fifty, we have to you said, you know, 744 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: get that fifteen minutes. In my new book coming Out 745 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: is all about that shorter workout, and that is one 746 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: of the futures of fitness. Right, Yes, you can go 747 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: to arrows box or gyms like that, but get your 748 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: five minutes, get your fifteen minutes in, right, that's the 749 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,439 Speaker 1: that's the secret, exactly, absolutely right. Yeah, the hunk could 750 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: go for now, the hunk for few minutes ago for 751 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: five minutes, yeah, saily right. You know, we don't have 752 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: to do like sprints things to get your hot rate things, 753 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,360 Speaker 1: you know, jump rope? Who is like jump rope? It 754 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: takes three minutes to jump for a one round of 755 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,879 Speaker 1: it and you're good. So I can't wait to read 756 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: your book. What to call it? It's called the micro 757 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: Workout Plan. I will send you a copy Micro Workout 758 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: Plan and it's it's shorter workouts and it's all about yeah, 759 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: just you know stuff that you've done that I've done 760 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: for years. And it's most primarily, Michael, about staying uh, 761 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: staying healthy, preventing injury as we get older, and and 762 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: you can do five minutes, you can do fifteen, you 763 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: can do twenty. But the future of not saying well, 764 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: I only did and I love boxing is the greatest 765 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 1: one ever. If you think five minutes is enough, try 766 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: jumping up for five minutes. Try it right. Most people 767 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 1: are coming close to that. I can run fifty miles, Michael. 768 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:37,240 Speaker 1: I can't jump up for fifty seconds. It's different. I can't. 769 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 1: I believe maybe I need to swim to see my life. 770 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: The age of the pool. Yeah, yeah, I do not 771 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 1: have that kind of like that that ability to me. 772 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: It's like it's it's insane, like to be able to 773 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I technically I can swim. Maybe to save 774 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 1: my life, I can make it. But I don't know. 775 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: It's just so demanding. It's a different thing. Even yes, 776 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: and even I agree. A d sand written books on it. 777 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: I do the Iron Man's and I've written though, I 778 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 1: h we're not meant to be in the water, We're 779 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,959 Speaker 1: not to swim. But no, it's I admire the people 780 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,919 Speaker 1: who can swim well. But you know when people say 781 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 1: to me, Michael, I'm scared to swim, I go, that's 782 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 1: a valid fear. You should because you can die and drown. 783 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: And that's our body telling us. You know, so I 784 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,280 Speaker 1: I swimmers are a whole different breed, that's for sure. 785 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: Uh well, thank you so much, thank you, thank you 786 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: for having me on.

Speak to 869 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 1: How great is Michael Laja d Jr. Just amazing? Such 870 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,239 Speaker 1: a positive, nice guy? And I was thinking about that 871 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: during the break, is that the people I have on 872 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 1: who are in the fitness world, who actually you know, 873 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: and many of them you know, similar professors, nutrition and 874 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: things like that, But it never ceases to amaze me. 875 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 1: Across the board pretty much. How just positive people, And 876 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 1: that's pretty much the only people I'm gonna have on. 877 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 1: But it's it's by definition, if you're in this industry 878 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,919 Speaker 1: and you get it and you've applied it, it makes 879 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:31,240 Speaker 1: life really, really good and it makes the tough times easier. 880 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 1: And Michael Lady Jr. Is one of those people. And 881 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 1: that's why I wanted to have him on multiple reasons. 882 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: But just a top boxer back in the day, had 883 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 1: a major roadblock, busted right through it and then took 884 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,839 Speaker 1: it to a whole another level with his fitness and 885 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,279 Speaker 1: now with Center app, you know, the ability to keep 886 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 1: saying that there's so many options, you know, for content 887 00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: and to work out with people. You know. I was 888 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,439 Speaker 1: so fortunate many years ago to interview him and work 889 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 1: out with him at his gym. And now the new 890 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 1: world is that you can work out with almost anyone, anywhere, 891 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 1: at any time. The yeah butts are gone. But I 892 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 1: want you to really embrace just who he is and 893 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 1: what he gives off and what he's been through. And 894 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,760 Speaker 1: that is the show is good news. It's always good news. 895 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,239 Speaker 1: People oftentimes excuse me of being the Pollyanna all that 896 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Yeah I am. And and what Michael's 897 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 1: learned through boxing, what I've learned through endurance racing, is 898 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 1: that exercise is so much more than weight loss. I 899 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: say it almost every show because it's so important because 900 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,320 Speaker 1: there's just so much listen. It was a recent commercial 901 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 1: that came out with major blowback because the person exercising 902 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 1: in the commercial who has given a piece of exercise 903 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,839 Speaker 1: equipment with skinny as if that is the Oh, if 904 00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 1: you're skinny, you're done. There's no reason exercise, you're done. 905 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 1: How dare you give someone a piece of exercise equipment 906 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 1: new skinny that is completely nuts and the topic of 907 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 1: another show.
