In this episode of Crewzin to the Void, I sit down with professional fighter Derek Meunier to talk about what it really takes to step into the cage. Derek opens up about his training, mindset, and how he’s built the discipline to keep chasing greatness in combat sports.

We get into the highs, the lows, and the raw reality of being a fighter — from preparation, recovery, and staying sharp, to what it means to face your fears head-on.

If you’ve ever wondered what separates fighters from everyone else, or how lessons from the cage translate into life, this episode is for you.
