Doing Epic Stuff podcast ep. 2 feat. living Muay Thai legend Sylvie von Duuglus-Ittu


Listen Later

Ever wondered about the mindset of a professional fighter?
Surely you'd have to be nuts to get in that ring, risking life and limb, for questionable (at best) financial remuneration?
What does it take to do it 10 times?
How about 50?
- Sylvie von Duuglus-Ittu: "Hold my beer"...

SHE'S THE WESTERNER (dudes included) WITH THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF MUAY THAI FIGHTS, IN THAILAND, OF ALL TIME!!

Pause.

At the time of posting this podcast she's sitting at an incomprehensible 264 BOUTS! (with the scars to prove it)... It's not every day you get to meet a legitimate living legend, especially one who is still actively striving for their ultimate EPIC summit (with no signs of slowing down).

Join your host, Mike Drohan, as Sylvie (and her pet dog) and I get DEEP into the mindset of a legend whilst Sylvie is literally on the road to her next fight...

For anyone looking to get PEEE-UMPED about finding, starting (or re-starting) their own side-hustle, passion project, spirit quest, secret thrill or just needing a good old distraction from the doom-and-gloom of mass media (Can I Get a Hallelujah?!) - come get it. 

Topics include:

  • What sort of mental training does it take for a professional fighter to willingly enter a life or death situation over 264 times and counting?!
  • How to sustain yourself financially when your passion pursuit doesn’t make enough money for you to pay the bills or even your post fight medical expenses..
  • How to deal with a young Thai pad holder who has decided that YOU are going to be the butt of his joke, and he’s the only one laughing.
