Boxing, Faith, and Life’s Journey: Mark Connor Shares His Story
On the next episode of The ToosDay Crue with Jake and Stephen, we welcome the multifaceted Mark Connor. A Boxing Trainer, Writer, and lifelong seeker of meaning, Mark’s journey is a compelling narrative of resilience, faith, and purpose.
Mark grew up in Saint Paul, Minnesota, shaping his worldview through boxing, faith, and cultural exploration. A former Upper Midwest Golden Gloves Champion, he boxed in national tournaments and trained alongside world-class athletes before pivoting to writing and mentoring. His debut book, It’s About Time (Millions of Copies Sold for Dad), weaves poetry, autobiography, and spirituality into an inspiring tale of love, loss, and Legacy.
In this episode, Mark shares his journey, from his boxing days to his immersion in Lakota traditions, and his ultimate embrace of his Catholic faith. Through personal trials, including the loss of both parents, he found purpose in writing, culminating in his award-winning book.
Tune in as Mark discusses faith, family, and the lessons boxing has taught him about life, discipline, and perseverance.
