Mike Tyson is one of the greatest athletes in world history. The youngest heavyweight boxing champion of all time, he is also a bestselling author, Broadway star, businessman, movie actor, and founder of the charity organization the Mike Tyson Cares Foundation. He has been on top of the world and has also experienced hitting rock-bottom.
I had a chance to sit down with Mike in Florida for a conversation about his difficult childhood and his incredible mentors, career, and family. Along the way, he shared some extraordinary life lessons and wisdom. I hope you enjoy the interview!

This show you how big Tyson's heart is, he doesn't need this interview but he did it for the kid.

What a great interview. So many podcasts these days like to set things up as professionally as possible, desks, headphones, a specifically designed podcast / interview room. I've got to say, I appreciate the more casual atmosphere just sitting back on the couch. It's almost uncanny to see such a famous figure like Mike doing an interview in this setting. Solomon did a great job with the questions as well, a good mix of prepared material and riffing.

Amazing to have chosen such a timeless, inspirational, enduring idol. The real champ!
