Ed Latimore is a best-selling author, former professional heavyweight boxer, and competitive chess player. His writing focuses on self-improvement and a practical approach to stoic philosophy.

Ed is a modern-day renaissance man. He has a degree in physics, was in the military, is a former pro boxer, a chess player, a blogger, and an author - amongst all the other things he does. Ed has a large social media following, where he regularly urges his followers to better their lives through life lessons that he has learned along his way. 

Ed and I discussed:

  • The pay in boxing vs MMA
  • How he feels about the new celebrity boxing trend
  • His amateur & pro boxing career 
  • Why he does not drink any alcohol 
  • How we can train the brain as a muscle
  • Getting his physics degree
  • How he built a massive social media following

And much, much more...

My Take: Life is full of opportunities and beauty. If we can, we should try and experience as much of it as we can. The world has become much smaller, but our options and opportunities have increased exponentially. Take advantage of this and see what other things are out there - because, perhaps, your next passion is something you didn't even know you were into.
