GHP #41 - Overcoming Anxiety, Facing Your Fears, & Figuring Out Who You Are with Eliot Marshall!

Episode 41 is with Eliot 'The Fire' Marshall!

Eliot is a former UFC Light Heavy Weight, member of The Ultimate Fighter season 8, Head Coach at Elevation Fight Team, owner of multiple Easton Training Centre facilities, a motivational speaker, a TEDx Speaker, and an all-around good guy.

He has successfully transitioned his career from professional fighter to business owner, but if you ask him he says he’s just a product of luck and hard work. So we sit down with Eliot to discuss his journey. He details his bouts with anxiety in a dangerous career, the importance of knowing yourself, and how he was able to pivot away and succeed despite the odds. 

This was an incredibly inspiring conversation, so let’s get right into it!
