I’ve heard buzz about a memoir by Ed Latimore, who’s a former professional boxer and current professional writer. Ed’s developed a following for his life advice and his upcoming book is titled, Hard Lessons From the Hurt Business.

I loved getting to know Ed on quite a free range assortment of topics. These topics include but aren’t limited to...

* Having kids is the choice that later doesn’t feel like a choice

* There’s a town in Canada that’s inundated with polar bears

* What lessons you learn from getting knocked out on live television

* Ed worries that anyone who’d attack him would likely have a gun

* I sort of choked when opening up my live YouTube show

* Why are we so afraid of public shame?

* The story you can tell yourself to get over a breakup

* Losing weight requires a “why” and mine is embarrassing
