If you ask George Foreman III what it\u2019s like to grow up with a two-time heavyweight champion as a dad, he\u2019s pretty humble about it\u2014because that\u2019s all he\u2019s ever known. Graduating with a degree in business administration from Rice University, Foreman went on to preside over his dad\u2019s business, traveling the world meeting celebrities and managing contracts. Amidst all the glamour and chaos, he came face to face with his #hurdlemoment. Standing at 6\u20195\u2019\u2019 and weighing in at more than 280 pounds, he realized he wasn\u2019t happy in his corner of the world, going as far as to shut himself in a hotel room for three days. Then, he made the jump into boxing himself. After a year of training, Foreman stepped into the ring for his first fight weighing in at 231 pounds. He\u2019d go on to have an undefeated professional boxing career that ended in 2012, a year before he opened the first EverybodyFights in Boston. In episode 60, we chat about everything from depression and the scary side of entrepreneurship to his goals for expanding EverybodyFights dramatically by 2021.
