ED LATIMORE | Hard Lessons Learned from the Sweet Science

Boxing is known as the “Sweet Science,” but the name doesn’t quite do it justice. The amount of work, effort, blood, sweat, tears, and beatdowns is anything but sweet. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t so many powerful lessons to be learned from what my guest today, Ed Latimore, calls the “Hurt Business.”

Today, Ed and I talk about how and why people either buy into you (or not), why the next win or loss is just a setup for the next experience of your life, the power of consciously choosing to start over in life and after setbacks, why you’re only as good as your last win, and why “old endings” are nothing more than “new beginnings.” 

ED LATIMORE

Ed Latimore is a former heavyweight boxer, motivational speaker, and author. He grew up in the projects of Pittsburgh, battled addiction, went pro in the ring, and eventually earned a degree in physics—all while learning how to own his past and turn pain into power. Ed is known for his no-BS takes on life, sobriety, discipline, and what it really means to level up as a man.

His latest book, Lessons from the Hurt Business: Boxing and the Art of Life, just released today. It’s raw, honest, and packed with stories from the ring—and from life. Ed breaks down the mindset it takes to rise above your circumstances, fight through your demons, and build something better. Whether you're into boxing, self-improvement, or just real talk from someone who's been through the fire, Ed brings the heat.

DIVORCE, NOT DEATH

Our upcoming course, Divorce, Not Death, designed for men navigating the end of a long-term marriage. After the end of my 18-year-marriage I needed practical guidance for reclaiming strength, rebuilding identity, and creating a compelling vision for my next chapter. But I didn’t have it, so, I created it and want to share it with every man in a similar position:

In this course, you’ll learn to:

• Own your journey: Shift from blaming external circumstances to recognizing your own role in the marriage’s breakdown—and begin healing from that place of accountability
• Rebuild your foundation: Develop emotional resilience, establish financial stability, and create clarity around who you aspire to be next
• Restart with purpose: Embrace single life not as an end, but as an opportunity to define a life that reflects your truest potential—becoming better than before

Whether you're just beginning the separation process or already rebuilding your life, Divorce, Not Death will help you regain your footing, embrace who you are as a man, and help you move forward confidently into your next chapter.
