Today’s conversation is with Ed Latimore. A heavyweight boxer, physics graduate, author, and returning guest to the podcast.

Ed is not your typical fighter. After an 8½-year break from the ring, he returned at the age of 40 to secure a first-round TKO. But the time away wasn’t idle. He earned a degree in physics, taught calculus, got sober, lived in Portugal, coached boxing, and started a family.

His latest book Hard Lessons from the Hurt Business, is a brutally honest reflection on the tough lessons life and boxing have taught him. In this conversation, Ed shares why a difficult childhood gave him the mindset to endure, how men can build identity without toxic status games, and what he’s learning now as a father.

This is a raw, reflective, and powerful conversation about masculinity, hardship, and redemption.

Expect to learn:

Why Ed believes pain builds perspective and emotional resilience
The hardest lessons from boxing and how they shaped him
How Stoicism helped him avoid becoming a victim of his environment
Why modern masculinity needs to mature and what’s wrong with red pill culture
How fatherhood has changed Ed’s outlook on legacy and love
Why you don’t need to suffer like Ed to learn what he did
