In this new podcast, “The Science of Building Champions”, I interview top-level Muay Thai fighters and coaches and dive into their stories to discover what makes champions. Each episode revolves around my Four Big Questions… 1. What’s Your Story? 2. What’s Your Why? 3. What Makes A Champion? 4. Challenges And Lessons Learned? Digging into the answers to these questions helps uncover and share both the commonalities, and the differences in the journey to become a champion. And can help inspire and fast-track your journey too.
