In this episode, Gary brings an inspiring guest to the show: Artem Lobov. A former MMA fighter and boxer, Artem is taking the opportunity of early retirement to protect his health and explore who he is outside of the sport. This includes writing a book about his life, starting a clothing brand, and getting into the whiskey business - which he sees as a way of giving back to Ireland, his home since he was a teenager. Gary and Jay also talk with Artem about the misconceptions and extremes of fighting as a sport. The key takeaway lesson from Artem to our academics? Go all in!
