You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and the same goes for heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson. The New York-native’s troubled youth was full of tough times, loss, and years in and out of crime. But along the way, Mike’s natural talent as a fighter and truly unique human being was discovered and led to him winning the heavyweight boxing title at the unheard-of age of 20. He’d go on to become one of the most naturally talented athletes and fiercest competitors to ever live, earning numerous titles and hundreds of millions of dollars in winnings, a fortune he’d lose nearly just as fast while struggling with toxic media attention, drug abuse, and failed relationships. I sat down with Mike at his Tyson Ranch, home to his latest ventures and production company, to discuss the intimate moments of his journey, many of which you haven’t heard via the media. Prepare for an emotional and intense conversation about thriving on fear, searching for redemption, struggling with self-control, and learning from the past in search of a better future. This is the true story of Mike Tyson’s second act.

    I could listen to Mike talk all day. Its like he’s my spiritual father. He makes me want to cry by how passionate he is with his truth lol.

    "I'm insecure, so I read alot. I want ppl to think I'm intelligent. But I'm intelligent w/o the books” Sheesh. That was a mirror to my soul

    The interviewer is getting all sorts of criticism on here but this has been one of the best podcasts I've seen. He let Mike speak and asked the right questions to get Mike to open up. He did a good job.

    This interview was like taking a trip in Mike Tyson's mind.
  • @mirandam5746
    The way Mike talks about his childhood, it’s like you can imagine it. Definitely a movie needs to be made about him.
  • @gmr7494

    Small minds talk about people ... average minds talk about events ... great minds talk about ideas.

    Mike’s childhood story was horrific. When he’s being interviewed, I hate that they always want to take him there. It brings out the dark side of him. He’s in his fifties, his life is much more than his childhood. He has overcome so much hardship. Talk about his philanthropy. Talk about the light in his life. Mike was the last true, pure heavyweight.

    Mike considers himself uneducated, in reality he is so deep most of his thoughts are so way over our heads we can't fathom what he's trying to express.

    Nobody's going empty after watching This.. Such a Deep Talk!.. Tyson's evolution into a philosopher is Amazing
  • @boogersguy6233
    I like how Mike is constantly trying to connect with the interviewer. In a strange way, nobody can match his depth just as no one could match his boxing.

    Mike Tyson has went from one of the most dangerous people ever to one of the best philosophers that ever lived.

    When Mike doesn’t smoke weed, he gets super raw and intense. He’s a legend
