In this episode, Jordan sits down with Samson Dauda, the reigning Mr. Olympia, to dive deep into his incredible journey from humble beginnings in Nigeria to becoming one of the greatest bodybuilders in the world.

Samson shares the mindset, discipline, and sacrifices required to achieve a dream physique, emphasising that there are no shortcuts—only relentless hard work and determination. He opens up about his struggles, including financial hardship, near-retirement moments, and the emotional toll of proving doubters wrong. From working multiple jobs to self-funding his career and pushing his body to the extreme, Samson's story is a testament to resilience.

We also explore the mental battles of competing at the highest level, the pressure of defending the title, and his unique coaching dynamic with his wife, Mel, who played a pivotal role in his success. Samson reflects on his historic victories, the overwhelming moment of lifting the Sandow Trophy, and his vision for building a lasting legacy in bodybuilding.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone chasing a dream—whether in fitness, sports, or life. If you need motivation to push beyond your limits, this is it.
