In this episode, I reflect on Oleksander Usyk’s recent historic unification win and his powerful post-fight message: “Discipline is more important than motivation.” As a longtime boxing fan, I break down what makes Usyk such a rare and remarkable fighter — not just in talent, but in mindset.

Then, I pivot from the ring to the screen, highlighting five films that embody that same relentless discipline:

• 🎣 JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI– Mastery through decades of routine and refinement.
• 🧬 GATTACA – Defying limitations through quiet, determined effort.
• 🥁 WHIPLASH – The punishing path to greatness in the arts.
• 🚣 THE NOVICE – Obsession, pain, and pushing beyond the edge.
• ⏰ GROUNDHOG DAY – Self-mastery earned through infinite repetition.

These films, like Usyk, show us that greatness isn't a flash of inspiration — it's built, one disciplined day at a time.
