Send us a text Ricky "The Savage" Seymour's life reads like a Hollywood redemption story, except it's painfully real. From the depths of addiction, homelessness, and prison to becoming a professional boxer and devoted father of seven, his journey exemplifies the raw power of human resilience. When Seymour describes growing up on a reservation in Escanaba, Michigan, being emancipated at 15, and eventually finding himself "sleeping in a stolen car behind a broken down hotel," he doesn't romanticize his struggles. Instead, he offers them as stark waypoints on a path that ultimately led to four years of sobriety and a renewed purpose through boxing. His first professional fight ended in a dramatic first-round knockout—made even more memorable when he proposed to his amazing girlfriend, Amanda, in the ring immediately afterward. The most profound moments in our conversation come when Seymour speaks about reconnecting with his children after years of absence. His voice cracks with emotion recalling his daughter's Thanksgiving declaration that she was thankful for "her dad getting sober and being back in their lives." This validation means more to him than any victory in the ring. Even when describing his current living situation—six bunkbeds in the living room for his children while they prepare to move into a larger home—his perspective remains refreshingly grounded: "I'm coming up out of the gutters." Boxing represents more than a career for Seymour; it's the vehicle through which he hopes to impact the next generation. His plans to open a gym for troubled youth reflect his desire to become what he needed as a child. His advice to listeners comes from hard-earned wisdom: "Don't take life for granted...sometimes you blink and you miss it." Watch for Seymour's upcoming heavyweight bout on March 29th in Green Bay, Wisconsin—another chapter in a comeback story still being written. Support the show https://bamboolab3.com/…

Don't Quit Edgar Albert Guest When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit - rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a fellow turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow - you may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup; and he learned too late when the night came down, how close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - the silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and when you never can tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems afar; so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - it's when things seem worst, you must not quit.
