Boxing is known as the "Sweet Science," but the name doesn't quite do it justice. The amount of work, effort, blood, sweat, tears, and beatdowns is anything but sweet. But that doesn't mean there aren't so many powerful lessons to be learned from what my guest today, Ed Latimore, calls the "Hurt Business." Today, Ed and I talk about how and why people either buy into you (or not), why the next win or loss is just a setup for the next experience of your life, the power of consciously choosing to start over in life and after setbacks, why you're only as good as your last win, and why "old endings" are nothing more than "new beginnings."
