Speaker 2:

Thank you and thank you for being on our show. Thank you, I'm happy, I'm excited.

Speaker 1:

This is going to be fun and it's so different because we're not in studio, we're out, and so I always say these are so much more fun because you kind of get the wrong, like me dropping the paper on the floor. You know, authenticity Got to be authentic, exactly, and of course, we're in the gym and we've got people working out on this.

Speaker 2:

You might hear some weight slam every night. It might catch you off guard. So hey, it's going to be good.

Speaker 1:

Exactly All right, so I want to open this up really quick. I want to start off, first of all, talking about the boxing. What led you to that? Because obviously that has influenced what you're doing now. So did you come out of the womb thinking you were going to be doing this, or was this kind of something that happened that led you to it?

Speaker 2:

Boxing. Found me, Found you Interesting? Yeah, Never in my life thought I would box. I graduated high school, Went to Collin County Community College. I was there for a year trying to figure out what I'm going to do with my life. I was working jobs, and so I was at my college apartment, a century court apartment. I picked up trash for a living to keep my free rent. Yeah, Picked up trash. I was a porter where I had to keep the apartments furnished, and so I was doing that. And I was working at the fitness facility. And so, in order for me to keep my free rent, I gotta keep help people move in.

Speaker 2:

And so one guy was an in shape guy he is and he came in and the departments asked me to help him move in. And then I was helping him move his stuff in. He was in shape, he had a cut out shirt. Like yo, what do you do? He's like well, I'm a box. I was like all right, cool. So I thought nothing of it.

Speaker 2:

So along the way, him and I, we built the relationship, started hanging out, started working out, and then he told me he's like yo, if you want to get a real workout one day, come to the gym with me. And then I went to a gym it was PFC in Richardson and a garage, a hardcore gym and when I went in I was just in immediate like, like shocked. I'm like, oh, this is a real box of gym. Never even thought about boxing in my life. But then I ended up working out with Brandon he's the guy that introduced me to boxing and the working I would him and then I was doing a workout so he asked me to do it and then I was completing them and then the coach came to me and he was like hey, man, if you keep this up, you could be a boxer one day. I was like, really, you think I can be. And then just that little seed he put into me, Lennon said, and I just kept going back to the gym. And that's a long story behind it, but it's pretty cool.

Speaker 1:

I think it's all interesting and that's what's so fun about these stories that we talk about on this show is that it's some people, when they're young, they kind of know what they want to do, right. Like they come out and they're like I want to be a doctor, I want to do this. But I think most of this it's like things sort of happening and like we don't even think about it and then something kind of sparks and we're like, hey, we're going to do this, and then it sort of evolves. And I think it's really neat how you know, like when you look at what you're doing right now, having this gym, and what you're getting to do now, how it really centers around what you got to do just in a different area and a different aspect of that.

Speaker 1:

So, talk a little bit about that, cause I didn't mention that in the bio. What led you to this fitness facility? Cause you went out a pro. You had this change that forced you out of boxing, and then you moved into this new arena where you're still getting to essentially kind of see the boxing scene. There's not in it.

Speaker 2:

So during my career I was always personal training, cause boxing is a poor man sport If you're not all the way at the top, if you're in the professional ranks, you don't get paid when you first start, until you work your way up the ranks.

Speaker 2:

So I was doing like personal training, teaching how to box, during my career, and so my goal was to eventually own a gym or eventually be a boxing trainer, cause I didn't want to work a nine to five. So I always wanted to be a boxing trainer, but I didn't think it was going to come so early. So during my career I was timing up the ranks and then I don't know where, I had to detach Retina, and that's what stopped me from becoming a champion. I wanted to become, cause I was willing to dedicate it all to become a real champion, and so God, he said he had another plan for me, basically, and so detach Retina is what stopped me from becoming a champion I wanted to do. And then, during that moment of recovering from detach Retina, have you had, do you know, the recovery of detach Retina?

Speaker 1:

No, I don't know anything about it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so you got to go, we got to have surgery and you got to. They got to go in your eye and put a gas bubble in your eye or an oil bubble or a wrap up band around it. You have to look down for two weeks. You can't look up for two weeks, so I have to sleep in a massage bed. I have to look down, walk around for two weeks, and I had five of those eye surgery.

Speaker 2:

Every time I try to get better, I have to get my Retina detach, and so during that time that's when I discovered personal development. I discovered Les Brown, I discovered Earl Nightingale, I discovered Jim Rohn, and they were speaking some amazing things, and then they just inspired me to keep going. Like God, I was playing for you. And so during that time I was like you know what? I think I can own a gym. So I was on my way to a fight and I was on my way to Canelo Everest fight and I spoke with my manager and my business partner, nathan, and I was like Nate, I really think I could own a gym Because I was working for somebody else, teaching person training. I was like, if this guy could do it, I can own a gym. And so he was like, if you're serious, go get an LLC. And we looked for a location. And then I had no idea what an LLC was or anything like that, and so I just did the research, went to go get my LLC and started looking for a location. That's how I found this place. That's awesome. And it's the hidden gym. It's the hidden gym.

Speaker 2:

At the time it was the Den. It was a rugby facility and it was nothing here. It was empty. It was just for rugby players. Guys from Australia moved here to try to start a rugby facility, but the business wasn't doing good, and so someone asked me to be like hey, tony, besides, you're going to get your own location, why don't you ask to go move in to another gym and start fresh and ask them to help build up their, build your business and someone else's business. You know, till you get started, then they end up working, and I started with like one or two bags, started with like one member, one member, yeah and I just kept staying consistent and then eventually the Den sold it to Greg McCoy, virginia and my business partner, and we ended up building this together. Oh, I can, yeah. And so that's how I started. That's how the fitness journey started.

Speaker 1:

That's awesome. Well, and you talked about. I want to back up just a little bit.

Speaker 2:

Sorry, no, no, no, this is good. No. Well, you know this, but I want to back up. You should be talking some time, yeah.

Speaker 1:

No, it's good. It's good Because they need to hear all this. But I want to back up to when you were talking about finding the personal development, because I think it's always interesting how, when I talk to people that didn't grow up, maybe, with personal development, we didn't like I didn't have it in my house, I didn't know what it was right. And I think there's a moment, like a defining moment, when you everybody I talked to, like I had a guy on my show that I launched last January. He had been great guy, had been in prison, and he was talking about how, while he was in prison, he came and started reading I think it was, I think it was either entrepreneur or Forbes. He started reading like a magazine and it kind of started like spawning some of this personal and then he started training. He was training in the facility and then he got into all this personal development stuff and it started changing his life.

Speaker 1:

And so I always feel like there's like this moment I like to say it's like we have a come into Jesus moment maybe, where we realize we got to do something. We got to change something the way we're thinking right, like we have to change the way we're thinking about something, because you were obviously in a. Really that's that explaining it just made my skin go. Yeah, it was tough, 100%. I'm just thinking about having to go through that process. But to get through that you had to develop some not I mean, I'm sure during boxing you developed some impeccable skill mindset right, 100%.

Speaker 2:

But to get through that you had to really have some mindset for that you know and that's what got me through business, because the lessons that boxing taught me right Helped me with business. The disciplines that boxing taught me helped me through business. Getting punched in the mouth helped me get punched in the mouth in business yeah, helped me get back on my feet. But the disciplines through boxing, the disciplines that I learned through personal development, helps a lot when it comes to business.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I've talked about that too. How? Because I interview a lot of athletes and you know I've had all kinds. I've had some boxers, like I said, I've had football players, I've had different people and I always bring that question up how the parallels between you know athleticism and then in your business, because there are a lot of parallels in it, right, and I think anytime you have to deal with adversity and you learn it in anything, then you can transfer those life skills over anything you're doing. Business included. 100%, yes, good stuff, good stuff. So now you're doing this. Jim, tell us a little bit about this place, like who's coming over here? What we got going on in here? There's all kinds of things happening here. We talked about fighters and you got all these cool people coming in here.

Speaker 2:

So I have a bunch of UFC fighters. I trained Stephen Peterson, charles Burr, rashad Koltz, macy Chesham. I have Ryan Benoit, bernie Garcia all the active UFC fighters. Not only that, I have NBA players. I had Jason Maxwell come through here, I had Chris Warren J-Warn these guys are European players. Now I've got training Greg Hardy, ex-nfl player. He's back there now. He's an ex-Caboy player and he's one of my main fighters. So we're doing our. He got his first headline at the Tower Club doing our black tight event Coming up soon we'll talk more about that. And now I also have the current active Dallas Cowboys. I've trained Michael Parsons, brandon Cooks, osa Apagata how to pronounce his last name. One of them names Stephon Gilmore. This is so awesome. Yeah, so I have. I got a pretty good stable. I've got I've become an amateur fighter. My coaching staff is amazing. It's just I hire current fighters or ex-fighters that coach so we can teach bristles to boxing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah that's pretty cool.

Speaker 1:

Yeah well, and you're going to probably laugh because I actually do watch some UFC.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I love it, I love it.

Speaker 1:

I don't know all of them, but I do pay attention to some of the stuff on the UFC. I actually like watching the girls a lot of times because I think they're. I think those girls are pretty badass to watch.

Speaker 2:

I like training a lot more, a lot of women because they're more graceful on the mitts. Yes, because, guys, they want to show how tough they are. They're more graceful, more skilled, but when it comes to fighting they are I was going to say they're mean. They're graceful when it comes to they get out there in the real thing. When they get in there, they can scrap.

Speaker 1:

That's so cool. So I do want to kind of ask you a question, because we talked about, you know, the discipline and what you learned in boxing, but what would you say? Because you, when you talked about just a few minutes ago, you know this was one bag at a time, one client at a time. What do you feel like is attributed to the success of this place? Like what's been the thing here that's making this the spot?

Speaker 2:

It's not no, it's no secret. It's 80% of success is showing up. I learned on a job Well, I didn't know a thing when I was going through things in life but it showed up. I just kept showing up, kept giving my best and learned on a job. Continue to get better, and that's what's the success. And then that's what it is. I just kept showing up, just kept getting better. I just kept envisioning where I wanted the gym to be. And then what really helped me is when I hired business coaches. Like, business coaches really took my mindset to another level. Shout out to my business coaches. My first one was Nathan Pipitone, then Keith Crapp and now I have a phenomenal business coach, michelle Blakely. She's the game changer for me and they took my mindset to a whole other level. They taught me how to know my worth and know my value, how to stand up for myself. Because I was too nice and when it comes to business, you can't be too nice because I'd be the type that would put myself on the poor hole first.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, to help somebody Before it helps somebody else, and so they teach me how to still do that but still protect myself. So hiring business coaches will really help me grow this business. It's a change of mindset.

Speaker 1:

So funny that you say that I met somebody today. I was talking to a gal this morning, a potential guest. She has a you're gonna probably love this. She does this podcasting and they talk about sports and stuff, which I thought was really interesting for a woman. I like her, totally like her, but that was one of the things she was talking about was having mentorship and whether that's a business coach or a mentor what it looks like.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, mentor, business coach same thing Everybody needs different things.

Speaker 1:

But I was telling her, having come from I don't know if I shared with you I was in Mary Kay for 22 years, so I was in leadership and so we. The whole time I was in there, I've always had mentors and so I really didn't understand what it was like to have a business without having mentors and coaches. And then when I left that organization in 22, I was kind of. I formed my LLC in 2018, it was kind of bridging my way out and I realized, as I was networking, how many people don't really have mentors or coaches to work with and they struggle because they don't know what they don't know. Right, like you don't know what you don't know.

Speaker 1:

And it's almost like when you get on the other side and you start realizing the capacity of what you can do, like you're saying yourself worth and how to. Part of that not being nice, I think, goes with the self-worth, right. When you become, you understand your value and what you bring to the table and all that. But when you get on that other side and you start recognizing all that, it's like wow. It makes such a huge difference in how you show up every day and in what you're doing, and your people respect you differently as well 100% and the biggest thing that helped me with the business coaches things I was trying to figure out for three years.

Speaker 2:

they figured it out in eight seconds. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And it was a game change. I know.

Speaker 2:

I'm like crap, that's what that's. The biggest thing is like I've been trying to do you try to do things on your own. It's only so much you could do on your own when you reach out and your ads were helping. Then you invest in yourself. Pay the price because they're not cheap, no, but you'll get your return and do the work. Yeah, and if you do the work and you stay consistent doing the work, great things happen.

Speaker 1:

Yeah Well, I think two things I would say from that is that the willingness that you took to invest in yourself, to saying, hey, I'm worth it to do this, but also, I think the thing that keeps sticking with me is you're showing up, to talking about the showing up, right, because a lot of the people that I talked to about success and I think we talked about Cam, even he talks about that he said I just showed up, I did the things that nobody was willing to do, right, like I did the things people I would run to the gym or whatever it was the things that people are not willing to do every day 100%.

Speaker 1:

And that's what I tell people all the time when I'm working with them is that it's really just being committed to doing what other people are not willing to do.

Speaker 2:

Consistency, that's it. Be consistent Commitment and consistency, that's it.

Speaker 1:

This is good stuff. So I know you have a big event coming up. We wanna talk about that, as we're gonna wanna get that out. It's coming up very quickly, so let's talk about that. What do we have going on here at the end of the month?

Speaker 2:

September 30th is our third annual fight night. It's a black tie event. This is an event you do not. You want to overdress.

Speaker 1:

I want you to come I like to overdress, Overdress.

Speaker 2:

I need you to come suited and booted. I love it. It's the past two years we've done amateur boxing. It's at the Tower Club Dallas On the 48th floor. You get to see the entire city of Dallas. You can even see Fort Worth from there. Wow, that's awesome. This year we're doing professional fighting. We got Greg Hardy. He's a ex-professional Cowboys player. He's headlining versus Greg Corbin. He's a well-known Dallas fighter. It's gonna be awesome 15 to two.

Speaker 2:

And we got some up and coming future champions on the undercard. We're gonna have anywhere from about six to nine fights on the card. It's a VIP. You have your open bar in the VIP pre-fights. Then it's just a good night of fun and watching boxing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it sounds like we'll make sure too. When we get this out, we'll put a permit I got pictures and stuff, like when you can see everybody in the black tie and the black tie attire and it's just.

Speaker 2:

It's a fun night and I'm just blessed that it's a third year. Shout out to Tower Club for giving me opportunity to get out my dreams for being a boxing promoter. I always wanted to take us at a next level and now I get the opportunity to be a boxing promoter. Isn't that fun? It's a blessing. I'm excited.

Speaker 1:

So I had a guy on my show that was a professional motocross, so like Evil Can Evil, and it's funny because he kind of does the same thing. Now he's on ESPN and stuff and he actually does like the sports announcing and stuff, like you know, rating them and all that stuff afterwards, and so he used to be a rider and then he got injured and so now he doesn't get to do that anymore. But now he gets to do like the announcing and all that and I follow him in my you know, an Instagram. I see all his stuff. He's from Australia, so it's very cool. It was in Germany when I did his show, you know. I mean he travels all over and does this sports announcing and stuff, not something he had planned to do, but, like you, went into this area and then sort of gets to now be a part of it, but just in a different capacity. So you get to do it from the safe side. Now you get to, I don't have to get punched in the mouth, no more, exactly.

Speaker 1:

Exactly. I think it's so cool. I'm gonna ask you, before we tell everybody where to find you, maybe advice for somebody, let's say somebody who wants to. I don't know. Maybe they decide they want to go into boxing, maybe they want to open a gym, maybe whatever it is they're starting out. What is something we want to offer them as some advice? You've said a lot of really good things here, so maybe just a final punch for them.

Speaker 2:

Let me think. It's a lot. My brain is going everywhere when it comes to stuff like this I got to think of. Some of the stuff is very cliche, but it works basic wins. So never give up. Do not quit. Stay consistent. You have to be dedicated and once you become dedicated, you got to be disciplined and you have to continue to stay hungry.

Speaker 1:

That's a less brown. Yeah, you gotta be hungry, you gotta stay hungry, it's definitely less brown.

Speaker 2:

You have to be willing to run through a brick wall to be successful. Bad things are gonna happen, but if you just keep walking through the fire with a smile on your face, you will be successful. Remember if you want to get into business, just know the customer is the boss.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's true, you might be the business owner, you might own it, but the customers, they pay for everything. The customers keep your lights on. So they could be down and dirty, they could be the nicest people ever, right, but you still got to respect them because they are the ones that keep the lights on. I love it. So just remember that. Remember that Be professional at all times and enjoy what you do. If you never, you would not have fun, you would not be successful and you would not speak to the bad times if you do not enjoy what you do. So you have to stay consistent, keep a smile on your face and have fun. If you're not having fun, it's pointless.

Speaker 1:

I agree with you on that one. I agree with you on that one.

Speaker 2:

You're quick, quick. I agree, you're quick. That makes sense. No, it's cool.

Speaker 1:

I agree, I want to do some fun questions. I just thought I need to do this, since you're an athlete, because I think this can be fun. I got you Okay. So I want to know where is, like the coolest place you've traveled, like the most fun place that you've traveled to? Beijing, china, oh, very cool.

Speaker 2:

Was it for fighting or for UFC fight? Okay, I worked. One of my UFC fighters cornered Rashad Koltar. And the coolest thing about Beijing I went to go see the Great Wall of China. That was dope. Also, we went to the nightclub and no one spoke no English at all. It was very it was. It was language barrier was there. But when a rap song came on, they knew every word. They knew every single word. I was just you felt it.

Speaker 2:

It was the coolest stuff ever. They treated us like a celebrity, like when we just walk on the street. What I mean by that is that when they see, when African Americans or they see somebody with blonde hair, blue eyes yeah, we was walking the Great Wall of China. They was literally taking pictures of us. They had no idea what we were. Like somebody, like a new spanish I know we're famous just because they, I don't know. They were literally handing me their baby. They were taking a picture. They have no idea.

Speaker 1:

Did they know? I know right, it was just that was cool. Maybe they see, maybe secretly, secretly somebody knew.

Speaker 2:

I know right, that was hilarious.
