Listen Later

Jimmy Walker is 80 years old. He’s raised over $100 million for charity. Worked with Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, and Magic Johnson. And he’s still not done.

In this episode, we talk about the real reason he never retired, the heartbreak that changed everything, and why giving back became his life’s mission.

You’ll hear:
→ The wild story of how Celebrity Fight Night began
→ How asking a blind opera singer to meet a silent boxing legend changed both their lives
→ The personal loss that led to building sober living homes
→ Why he believes most success teaches you nothing
→ And what it really means to serve people with dignity

This is one of those episodes you’ll want to play twice. Especially if you care about legacy, impact, and doing work that still matters at any age.
