"You were lucky.” The profound story about luck that will change your mind.
This week we get in the ring with Olympic boxing medalist Tony Jefferies who went undefeated in his professional career and has gone on to create his gym brand Box 'N Burn. His gym is the number one gym in California and the number two gym in the United States. In and out of the ring, Tony has had to keep the fighter's mindset. We go toe to toe with a terrific guy who is winning the fight of life.
