#228- Stuart Warren Dansby- Talking the Fight | Overcoming Obstacles and Becoming a Champion

  1. #228- Stuart Warren Dansby- Talking the Fight | Overcoming Obstacles and Becoming a Champion Jackson Huff 1:10:17

This week, I had a powerful conversation with Stuart Warren Dansby. He is a 56-year-old kickboxer who defied expectations and proved that age is no barrier to pursuing your dreams. Stuart’s journey is the subject of a documentary that chronicles his preparation for an actual fight, not just training and sparring, but stepping into the ring to compete with some of the best.

Here’s what we have talked about:

  • His decision to start kickboxing at a later age and why he chose to take on the challenge of an actual fight.
  • The mental and physical hurdles he faced, from his body’s natural limitations to the doubts and skepticism from others.
  • How the documentary came to be and the nine-year journey it took to create.
  • The powerful mindset that kept him going, even when faced with external pressures and self-doubt.
  • Life lessons Stuart learned throughout this journey that go beyond kickboxing, touching on perseverance, strength, and the importance of silencing the negative voices around you.
  • The unwavering support from his wife and the balance between pushing limits and taking care of yourself.

Stuart’s story is a true testament to the fact that it’s never too late to take on challenges, face fears, and redefine what’s possible, no matter your age.

Make sure to listen to the whole podcast to hear how he overcame obstacles and proved what’s possible with the right mindset.

I am in admissions and advising by profession where I speak with students every day about their future and goals. I have spent a decade learning peoples life stories and what makes them tick. So, a few years ago I decided to take that passion for people and make a podcast. Through this I have been able to speak with a lot of amazing people. People like Bob Eubanks (The Newlywed Game), Daphne Maxwell Reid (Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), Maddie Musselman (2x Olympic Gold Medalist), Francois Clemmons (Mister Rogers' Neighborhood), and countless others.
