Ed Latimore is a former professional heavyweight boxer, Army veteran, and trained physicist who grew up in the projects of Pittsburgh. After getting sober in 2013, he’s been writing and speaking with unflinching honesty about life, discipline, and resilience. He’s the author of Sober Letters to My Drunken Self and Not Caring What Other People Think Is a Superpower, and his forthcoming memoir, Hard Lessons from the Hurt Business, explores what boxing—and life outside the ring—taught him about pain, self-respect, and the power of perseverance.
