  • The School of Greatness: 829 Mike Tyson: The Mind and Journey of a Champion Fighter
    Published on 29 Jul 2019. TREAT OTHERS HOW YOU WANT TO BE TREATED. Kindness seems like a basic idea, but when you’re a champion it’s not high on your list. The Golden Rule isn’t always easy. Especially when you’re focused on yourself. But you can be the best and be good to others. It takes discipline. It takes mentorship. And it takes a commitment to what’s important in life. No matter what you’ve done in your past, you can always reinvent yourself. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I dive deep into never giving up from a champion who went through dark times: Mike Tyson. Tyson is a former undisputed heavyweight champion of the World and won his first 19 professional bouts by knockout, 12 of them in the first round. He holds the record as the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles at 20 years, four months, and 22 days old. Mike Tyson is learning to forgive himself and be grateful. He also shares his feelings about discipline and how visualization helped him believe he could be a champion. So get ready to learn how to be a champion and why it’s never too late for a comeback on Episode 829.Some Questions I Ask:Did you know who you were at 25? (6:00)What was your biggest fear in your early 20s? (10:00)If your 25 year-old self was sitting here, what would you tell him? (14:00)What are you most proud of? (36:30)In This Episode You Will Learn:About Mike Tyson’s spiritual journey (4:30)The power of visualization (19:00)When Mike started to feel more peace in his heart (32:00)Why you should think outside the box (42:30)If you enjoyed this episode, check out the video, show notes and more at http://www.lewishowes.com/829 and follow at insagram.com/lewishowes.
