Just because you’re a champion boxer, doesn’t mean life doesn’t floor you

The Third Beer podcast this week is a proper bonding session with my mate and therapist Chris Dickson, and his other client and State boxing champion and former bodybuilding champion, Anthony Allan. This episode that unfolds like a movie script, sums up what this podcast is all about – topics that men don’t talk about enough.

Anthony has generously opened up about his life over a beer. Anthony has had a successful and growing security business, two children, has fought and won in the boxing ring - but his personal life knocked him out, more than once.

All three of us fellas discovered similarities in our lives that at times felt like one long boxing match. There’s pain, you’re against the ropes, you’re on the floor, you think you’re winning, then you’re in a world of pain. Then you patch yourself up to go the next round, but it’s a fight you never signed up for.

If Anthony Allan, the archetype tough guy can share his weaknesses, we’re king-hitting the stereotype - and that is a win for all men. Champion!
