You Can Have Anything You Want, Just Not Everything You Want: Life Lessons from an Unlikely Champion - Ed Latimore
What happens when a physics graduate from the projects decides to return to professional boxing at age 40 after a nine-year hiatus? Ed Latimore's story defies every expectation you might have about both academic achievement and athletic excellence.In this candid conversation, Latimore shares the brutal realities behind his comeback fight, the hidden health issues that were sabotaging his performance for years, and the scientific approach he used to optimize his body at an age when most athletes have long retired. From discovering his thyroid was working against him to uncovering respiratory problems that mimicked COPD, his journey illustrates how even the healthiest among us can have invisible barriers to peak performance.But this isn't just a boxing story. Latimore articulates a philosophy that cuts straight to the heart of human limitation and choice. His insights about sacrifice, priority, and the mathematics of achievement apply whether you're trying to lose weight, build a business, or simply live with more intention.The conversation weaves through his upcoming memoir "Hard Lessons from the Hurt Business," his transition from fighter to writer, and the biomechanical insights he gained that revolutionized his understanding of athletic performance. Along the way, he demonstrates why sometimes the most efficient path isn't the best path for creation, and how constraints can become the foundation for extraordinary achievement.This is raw storytelling from someone who has lived at the intersection of intellectual rigor and physical combat, offering perspectives that challenge conventional wisdom about aging, health optimization, and what's actually possible when you refuse to accept limitations as permanent.BIG IDEAYou can have anything you want, you just can't have everything you want.Contact Info: Ed LatimoreTwitter:https://x.com/EdLatimoreInstagram: https://instagram.com/edlatimoreLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edlatimore/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EdLatimore1Website: https://edlatimore.comInvitee Email:
