Hey, this is Brett. We're taking a break today from a new episode, but we're going to

re-broadcast episode number 524, where I talked to legendary boxing trainer Teddy Atlas

on what it means to be a man. Hope you enjoy it. We'll be back Wednesday with a brand

new episode.

Brett, McKay here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness podcast. Teddy Atlas

was born to a well-respected doctor and a wealthy part of Stad Nilem. Most kids like

him end up going to an Ivy League school to become some sort of white collar professional.

Teddy dropped out of high school, went to jail, ended up becoming a trainer to 18-world champion

boxers, including heavyweight champion Michael Moore, who defeated Evander Holyfield for

the title in 1994. Today on the show I talked to Teddy about how and why he took the path

he did in life. Teddy explains how he ended up boxing their legendary trainer Kustemato

and how Kust guided Teddy towards becoming a trainer himself. Teddy then shares stories

of training kids in the cat skills, taking them to un-synxion amateur fights in the Bronx,

and the lessons he learned from boxing and his father about personal responsibility, managing

fear, overcoming resistance and what it means to be a man. After the show's over, check

Teddy joins me now via Skype.
