Ep.16 — The Real Hero Isn’t Who You Think | Richie Elliott

from Top Deck Muscle · host Ben Wortley and Kwame Duah

Our most powerful episode yet! In this episode we sit down with Richie Elliott, an ex-combat sports athlete who competed internationally as both a fighter and coach.He’s coached national and world champions across boxing, kickboxing, and MMA, served in the elite French Foreign Legion, and now works as both a boxing coach at Rikers Gym and a UFC cutman with some of the best fighters in the world.But this episode goes far beyond fighting.We dive into resilience, leadership, purpose, discipline, fatherhood, and what it really means to be a strong human being in today’s world.One of the most powerful takeaways from this conversation was Richie’s perspective on who the “real hero” actually is, and why it’s often not the person society celebrates most.This was one of the deepest and most meaningful conversations we’ve had on the podcast so far, and honestly, one we think every person can take something from!Please share this with someone who you think will benefit from this podcast, you never know know how much they may need to hear it Much love, Ben & Kwame
