Welcome to Impact Theory.

Everybody, welcome to Impact Theory.

You're here, my friends, because you believe, as I do, that human potential is nearly limitless.

But you know that having potential is not the same as actually doing something with it.

So our goal with this show and company is to introduce you to the people and ideas that will help you actually execute on your dreams.

Alright, today's guest is one of the most successful female athletes of all time, but her road to Super Stardom was a rocky one.

Being born to a very famous father and having a very difficult childhood turned her into a self-proclaimed rebel without a cause who lived like she was actively looking for trouble and surprise surprise, she ultimately found it.

But in this case, thank God because it wasn't until she was sent to juvenile hall for shoplifting and spent months behind bars that she finally realized that if she was going to make her dreams a reality, she was going to have to get herself together and get herself together she did.

After seeing her first female boxing match, she realized in an instant that that was exactly what she wanted to do.

And despite all the naysayers in the world, she decided to throw herself into boxing full time, a decision that led to one of the most astonishing careers in professional boxing regardless of gender.

By the time she retired, she had racked up 24 wins and zero losses.

She didn't just win, she dominated the sport, getting 21 of her victories by knockout and holding four world championship titles.

She has so captured people's imaginations that post boxing she has arguably been even more successful.

She's been tapped to host or appear on numerous shows including American Gladiators, Dancing With The Stars, Celebrity Apprentice, Everyday Health and Late Night Chef Fight.

She won Celebrity Chop twice, impressing my wife, and now she set her sights on becoming the Queen of Healthy Living.

She has an upcoming cookbook due outfall of 2017 and she's launched her own Lifestyle brand and podcast which is blowing up thanks to a roughly 4 million strong social following.

So please, help me in welcoming the former president of the Women's Sports Foundation, the daughter of the greatest boxer of all time, the host of Leila Ali Lifestyle, none other than Leila Ali.

Thank you so much for having me here. Thank you so much.

Oh man, truly a pleasure.

Thank you. That was a great introduction, thank you.
