Richie Hardcore is an educator, keynote speaker, and activist, working in violence prevention, masculinities, mental health, and wellness. He is also a retired multiple New Zealand Muay Thai champion who now works as a coach and personal trainer. He’s helped some of New Zealand’s most successful fighters achieve their goals. A relationship gone wrong led Richie down a dark hole of depression and medication. But through exercise and opening up about his mental health issues, the New Zealand native was able to overcome his Eight Count and help thousands of other young males navigate the murky waters of youth.
