That One Thing

WOW, WOW, WOW. This episode is special for so many reasons. First, I need to call out that this is Episode 40. For those who know me, 40 carries real meaning. It marked a turning point in my boxing journey, and it’s always held deep significance. In numerology, 40 reduces to 4, a number that represents foundation, stability, and building something lasting—which feels perfectly aligned with the consistency this podcast has required. And in podcasting, most shows don’t make it past seven episodes. Reaching 40 means this is no longer just a hobby—it’s a body of work with real substance and endurance.

This conversation in particular hit me hard. I cried multiple times while learning from my guest, Joe Vasold. I first met Joe through The Post, an ex-athlete community I’m a part of, and he floored me from our very first conversation. Joe is a 17-year medical device professional, a founder, a husband, and a soon-to-be dad. But beyond the résumé, what stands out is how intentional he is about his spiritual journey. He’s done the work, explored so many perspectives, and carries a profound understanding of why that work matters.

Trust me—you don’t want to miss this one. I hope Joe’s story inspires you to dig deep, because the upside is massive. 🎙🔥

This episode is a really special one for me—a reminder to stay open to the unexpected. I met Sunny on a plane three years ago, on my way to my first meditation and breathwork retreat. We ended up talking for six hours straight on the flight from New York to San Francisco, and from that day forward, I knew he was someone who would always be in my life.

Sunny has built an incredibly successful career and is now a founder, proud dad, husband, and proudly sober—a human who is constantly evolving. He’s deeply inspiring, present, smart, and kind—the type of person who makes everyone around him better.

This episode was a really special one for me. As I’ve shared before, Haymakers for Hope changed my life—it transformed my mindset, my body, and uncovered a sense of drive I didn’t know I had. So having Andrew, the founder and executive director of Haymakers, on the podcast was incredibly meaningful.

After a successful career in finance, Andrew knew there was something more. He used boxing not just as a physical challenge, but as a tool for mental growth. Through that, he saw how powerful the boxing community could be—how this sport is different. Haymakers doesn't just raise money for cancer research; it transforms the lives of the fighters, their families, and the broader community.

What Andrew has built is nothing short of extraordinary.

This episode made me better. Like some of my other guests, I met Dane through the Haymakers community. I had known bits and pieces of his story and had been watching from afar, deeply inspired. Finally getting to sit down and hear the full journey was incredibly powerful.

An Aussie-turned-New Yorker, Dane is making a real impact—not just in New York, but far beyond. While he’s had a successful career in sales, what he’s building with The Athletic Clubs is something so much bigger. Some of the stories you'll hear about the lives touched by this community will leave you in tears.

Dane’s unwavering belief in the power of community, accountability, and pushing yourself alongside others made me want to level up in every way.

This episode was both humbling and deeply inspiring.

I met Nina through the one and only Haymakers. She’s a TLC show host, stand-up comedian, boxer—and most importantly, she’s introspective, kind, and incredibly driven.

We talk about how to separate yourself from the pack, and how simple things like effort and consistency can be total game-changers.

I left this episode wanting to be this person.

I met Ellen at one of her stand-up shows (recommended by a mutual, dear friend). Fun fact: she won that competition—and she's funny as hell. An attorney turned comedian, she's one of those rare people who's not only brilliant but also full of depth, purpose, and intention. The kind of person who makes you feel challenged, inspired, and, honestly, seen.

This one is special.

I met Hayley serendipitously—through a mutual friend and at our boxing gym—and from the start, I knew she was someone extraordinary. A Columbia grad, former engineer, founder, entrepreneur, kind human, and passionate mental health advocate, Hayley is one of the clearest examples I've ever seen of someone deeply connected to their purpose and impact.

After navigating some challenging experiences together as a team, I’ve seen firsthand just how inspiring she is. In this episode, we talk about what’s in your control, the power of small steps to support your mental health, and why community might just be the ultimate silver bullet.

I’m so proud to know Hayley.
