Podcasts about Muhammad Ali

Caitlin Clark has taken on the legacy of LeBron James, the old king, and has become the new "Woman King." This is a story about our values — traditional values. There is a strong desire for the "girl next door." The same desire exists for the "boy next door," but people seem hesitant to embrace it. Whitlock will explain why hip-hop is dead and the Morgan Wallen concert walkout is being hailed as one of the highest honors in culture. Popular figures like Drake, Roger Clemens, and Brett Favre joined him in this walkout, along with Mahomes and Kelce in Kansas City. We are witnessing a cultural shift that is evident in both sports and music. A recent New York Times piece by John Kosner compares Caitlin to legends like Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods. In other news, Caitlin Clark led the WNBA All-Star voting with 1.2 million votes and sold out her Kobe shoes in seconds. Rich Paul is pushing for a potential trade for LeBron James, but the Lakers are not paying attention. Has he lost his relevance? Jay Skapinac discusses whether Kobe Bryant is overrated and the decline of LeBron James. Lastly, Steve Kim joins to talk about the Jalen Ramsey trade — was it a good idea for the Steelers to give up Minkah for Ramsey and a tight end?  ​​Today's Sponsors: Flying Ace Whether you're winding down after a long day or raising a glass with good company, Flying Ace delivers every time.

Join us for an engaging episode as we explore the vibrant essence of Italian American culture and the powerful world of adaptive sports. We begin our journey where Dolores and John reflect on Italian American heritage and the camaraderie that defines our community. With humor and warmth, we recount Dolores's wedding anniversary, where the fusion of Italian and Irish traditions came alive on the dance floor, painting a vivid picture of cultural celebration. Our exploration continues with the inspiring story of Action Boxability, a program co-founded by Dino Spencer and Brian Broman during the pandemic. Brian shares how this initiative brings boxing to individuals with physical and cognitive challenges, offering them a unique opportunity to gain confidence and control. We share touching anecdotes about the impact on families, highlighting the transformative power of physical activity and the bonds it can create. From personal connections to philanthropic efforts, we celebrate the inclusivity and empowerment that adaptive boxing offers to people worldwide, despite the logistical hurdles it presents. In a nostalgic look at the world of boxing, we reflect on the legacies of iconic athletes like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, exploring the thrill and raw satisfaction that sports bring. We discuss the courage it takes to step into the ring, whether in professional boxing or high school wrestling, and how it tests one's character and vulnerability. The episode concludes with a celebration of Italian American culinary traditions, sharing stories of travels, memorable meals, and the bittersweet closure of beloved local eateries. Through these rich narratives, we embrace the passion, community, and transformative power of sport and culture.   THEIR WEBSITE: boxabilityinternational.org THEIR YOUTUBE:  @boxabilityinternationalinc3563    BOXABILITY SOCIALS: Instagram: @boxabilityinternational  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Boxability/100090294784796/#   THEIR SOCIALS: Dino Spencer's Insta: @dino5thstgym  Youtube:  @dino5thstgym    Brian Roman Insta: @brian_b_roman

Longtime “Hoarders” host Matt Paxton joins the boys to talk about how he turned personal tragedy into a career, some of the coolest finds from his new show “Filthy Fortunes”, unearthing a stockpile of authentic Muhammad Ali boxing gloves, stumbling upon a John Wilkes Booth “rookie” card, the obvious reason his employee uniforms don't have pockets and…is there really a market out there for historical hair?

Today we're going back to a time when the greatest show on earth came to Ireland. It was July 1972, and against all odds — and with the help of a strongman named Butty Sugrue — Muhammad Ali touched down in Dublin to fight Al ‘Blue' Lewis at Croke Park.It was a week like no other: Ali jogging through Wicklow, dropping into pubs, charming street cleaners, even getting a crash course in Irish history outside the GPO. Ireland was spellbound.Journalist and author Dave Hannigan joins me today to talk about his newly updated and re-released book The Big Fight, which tells the inside story of that glorious mayhem — and how one of the most famous athletes in history left a mark on the Irish psyche that's never faded. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Rafi Kohan, author, cultural observer, and the mind behind Trash Talk: The Only Book About Destroying Your Rivals That Isn't Total Garbage.   What started as a casual Zoom between new friends quickly turned into a lively deep dive into the world of competitive banter, all captured here in real time. Together, Rafi and I explore the fascinating, untold science and history of trash talk. He breaks down why trash talk is more than just gamesmanship on the field, it's a fundamental part of human behavior, threaded through ancient stories from the Bible to the Homeric poems, and alive in everything from politics to playgrounds. We get into how trash talk manipulates attention, anxiety, motivation, and even performance, and why some of the world's greatest athletes and public figures use it to their advantage.   Rafi shares wild stories, including some next-level antics from a soccer goalie who turned mental distraction into an art form, reveals why even the most positive folks can't resist a little friendly ribbing (looking at you, Ken Blanchard), and reflects on how the lessons of trash talking stretch far beyond sports, touching on politics, performance, resilience, and even moral character. We also riff on modern-day masters of the craft (think Muhammad Ali to Donald Trump) and the fine line between competition that lifts us up versus rivalry that tears us down. If you've ever wondered why we talk smack, how to handle it when it happens, or what it really says about us, you'll find insight and plenty of laughs in this episode.   Whether you're a serious competitor, a sports fan, or someone who's just curious about why people do what they do, this conversation brings fresh perspective, energy, and practical takeaways on embracing pressure, building grit, and becoming the kind of rival that makes everyone better. And yes, there's a little trash talk between us too. If you want to rethink the way you handle challenges, on the court, at work, or in life, this episode is for you.   Rafi Kohan is an award-winning sports journalist and dynamic keynote speaker. He is the author, most recently, of Trash Talk: The Only Book About Destroying Your Rivals That Isn't Total Garbage, which explores the phenomenon of verbal gamesmanship in sports, and everywhere, and what it reveals about our ability to perform under pressure.    About Rafi,   Kohan's first book, The Arena, is a wide-ranging examination of the modern American sports stadium and was a finalist for the 2018 PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing. Previously, Kohan has served as deputy editor at the New York Observer and as executive editorial director for the Atlantic's creative marketing studio. His writing has appeared in numerous publications, including GQ, the New York Times, Men's Journal, Rolling Stone, and the Wall Street Journal, among many others, and his thought leadership on the surprising benefits of trash talk has been featured on Fast Company, Scientific American, NPR's Science Friday, BBC's Unexpected Elements, and Re:Thinking with Adam Grant.   Here's a few additional resources for you… Follow me on Instagram: @JonGordon11 Order my new book 'The 7 Commitments of a Great Team' today!

Undefeated boxing champion and entrepreneur Laila Ali takes us ringside, then into the heart of what it means to belong. In this episode of Essential Habits, we uncover the deceptively simple practice her father, Muhammad Ali, modeled again and again: looking after the person no one else notices.Through Laila's stories, from waiting in queues of adoring fans to earning her father's reluctant blessing to box, we learn how true leadership is less about spotlight and more about presence. By tuning into the quiet moments and the people at the back of the line, we tap into a habit that transforms culture, boosts trust, and fuels high performance.In this episode, we explore:-  Why 'the last person in line' matters more than the loudest voice-  The neurobiology of inclusion and how exclusion literally hurts-  Three simple shifts to build social awareness every day-  How Laila earned her father's respect and claimed her own greatness-  What high-performing teams gain when everyone feels seenWhether you lead a team, a family, or just want to notice people more fully, this episode shows why the smallest acts of attention can have the biggest impact.Listen to the full episode with Laila Ali: https://pod.fo/e/265de7Here is a link to more information on the studies referenced: 1.

Sent us text! We would love to hear from you! Returning from his latest adventure on the high seas, CDR Drew details the high points of his travels. The immortal phrase that begins with the words, “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”, would never been famous if not for the world-wide attention given to the competitiveness between combatants Muhammad Ali and his one time nemesis Joe Frazier. Those words coined by Drew “Bundini” Brown described the aura of combat psychology that surrounded their fight trilogy that captured the attention of the world. The wingmen found themselves in the fortunate position of having one of the best jobs in the world when they were hired as pilots by a one-time fledgling company that eventually became a global juggernaut in the cargo industry, FedEx. The life of an airline pilot has many advantages as well as unique challenges. The required time away from home can complicate many aspects of family life. The fact that FedEx initially flew entirely at night caused pattern changes in circadian rhythm that placed physical and mental challenges on crew members. It was essential that this disruption in sleep pattern had to be properly managed in order to maintain good mental and physical health The relative seniority of each pilot is the overall determinant of schedule, salary, vacation as well other intangible benefits. Dr. Paul had the good fortune of being quite senior during his entire tenure at the company. CDR Drew maintained a relatively high seniority position by forgoing advancement to the position of Captain in order maintain control of his work schedule so that he could give his children his undivided attention during formative events in their lives. Now retired, both wingmen remain on the quest to pass on a little of what they know, gain new knowledge and embark on new adventures. Perhaps one of their greatest escapades is doing the Wingmen Show podcast.

Chaz and AJ welcomed Donnell Rawlings in studio this morning, for some clarification about a circulating picture he took with Mr. Combs, his "Muhammad Ali moment" with Dave Chappelle, and the moment he walked off a Kill Tony show.

A couple of weeks ago Dave Hannigan joined me to share the fascinating story of how a Kerry man called Butty Sugrue managed to convince the one and only Muhammad Ali to come to Ireland and fight Alvin Lewis in Croke Park. It's a fantastic yarn and if you didn't hear it, I'd strongly recommend doing so.But Dave has lived in the US for over 25 years and so I couldn't let him go without getting his thoughts on what its like to be an Irish man living in Long Island, which is true Trump territory, and all that comes with it. Dave and I go deep on politics, media, the 'flooding of the zone', and even the fall of the Roman empire!The Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand

Send us a textWords create worlds. From Genesis where God speaks creation into being, to Jesus asking a paralyzed man, "Do you want to be made well?", speech carries the power to transform reality. But what happens when certain topics become unspeakable?In this episode, Melissa and Bishop Wright have a conversation that explores how modern society increasingly avoids difficult conversations. Using Jesus' healing story, Bishop Wright reveals how bringing things into speech opens pathways to healing and resurrection. They also discuss more recent examples including the evolution of Malcolm X's speech as his heart expanded, the way Muhammad Ali voiced what many thought but dared not say about Vietnam, and how Pope Francis's humble question "Who am I to judge?" transformed Catholic discourse. At its core lies a powerful truth: authentic speech flows from the heart's abundance.

In this engaging episode of Shark Theory, host Baylor Barbee draws inspiration from a powerful quote by boxing legend Muhammad Ali — "I'm the greatest. I said that before I knew I was." Baylor shares his personal experience and reflections on self-belief and the journey towards greatness, challenging listeners to cultivate confidence despite external negativity. This episode is packed with motivational wisdom that encourages listeners to redefine their self-perception and to embrace the journey to becoming their best selves. Baylor explores how having unshakeable self-confidence, much like Muhammad Ali, is pivotal in personal success. He elaborates on why confidence isn't a limited commodity and addresses the misunderstandings often associated with overt self-assuredness, particularly in the face of criticism. Key themes in the episode touch on overcoming negativity from others, understanding the relationship between self-belief and how others perceive us, and tips for proving one's worth in various aspects of life. Baylor emphasizes the importance of consistent self-belief, encouraging listeners to act as their most confident selves — even before reaching their goals. Key Takeaways: Unleashing Unlimited Confidence: Self-belief is not dependent on external validation; it is an unlimited resource that should come from within. Handling Criticism Gracefully: External negativity often reflects others' insecurities rather than your limitations. Ignore the detractors to stay focused. The Ripple Effect of Self-Belief: Confidence in oneself inspires confidence from others; how you perceive your potential influences others' perceptions. The Importance of Self-Reflection: Regularly auditing your actions and body language can help ensure they align with the image of confidence you strive for. Perseverance Through Criticism: Continue growing your confidence, understanding that increased ridicule might accompany your journey to success. Silence critics by showing rather than telling your worth. Notable Quotes: "Life. And the quote by Muhammad Ali said, I'm the greatest. I said that before I knew I was." "There's an unlimited supply of confidence in the world. All of us can get as much of it as we want." "When you believe in yourself, it only offends people who don't believe in themselves." "Nobody is going to believe in you first, right? Not to the level that you want them to." "The best way that I know to handle people that are negative to you is the exact same way I handled the people that DM me. Say nothing."

In 'Meanwhile', Jacqueline Woodson and Catherine Gund weave together the words of literary legends to explore the intersection of art, grief, and social justice.Description: James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Muhammad Ali and Nina Simone are some of the artists featured in the moving new film “Meanwhile”, from National Book Award-winner Jacqueline Woodson and Emmy-nominated producer & director Catherine Gund. Their meditations on grief, art, breath and more are beautifully woven together as the film poses the question, how do you keep breathing amidst the chaos? Catalyzed by the Covid-19 pandemic and the police killing of George Floyd, Gund and Woodson tap into our shared existence. The artists featured in the docu-poem, with a haunting soundtrack by Meshell Ndegeocello, work through questions of race, political violence, resistance and identity — so much of what shapes our lives and relationships. “This is not a love letter to this country but to us inside this country,” says Woodson in the film. “We see us. We love us. We make eye contact and nod to us”. In this conversation with Laura Flanders, the trio of longtime friends discuss the film from Aubin Pictures, the losses they experienced in the 80s, and how the arts and poetry can compel us to enact change. Can we reclaim the “meanwhile”? All that, plus a commentary from Laura on hers.Guests:•  Catherine Gund: Producer & Director, Meanwhile; Filmmaker & Founder, Aubin Pictures•  Jacqueline Woodson: Writer & Performer, Meanwhile; Author, Brown Girl Dreaming; Founder, Baldwin for the Arts;  The Elders Project, ColumbiaWatch the special report released on YouTube May 16th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel May 18th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Larry is joined by writer and media executive Mark Whitaker to discuss his newest book ‘The Afterlife of Malcolm X: An Outcast Turned Icon's Enduring Impact on America'. They begin their conversation by talking about what inspired Mark to write the book and detailing Malcolm X's Shakespearean life journey from harrowing childhood to celebrated civil rights icon. This leads to a conversation about why both progressives and the modern black conservative movement have championed Malcolm's teachings, and a breakdown of X's relationship with Muhammad Ali (14:47). After the break, Larry and Mark discuss how Alex Haley's posthumous autobiography of Malcolm X came together and examine the role its played in preserving Malcolm's historical significance (32:06). Finally, they end the pod by taking a hard look at the events surrounding Malcolm X's assassination and shining a light on the strength of his cultural legacy against Martin Luther King's (45:02).

In 'Meanwhile', Jacqueline Woodson and Catherine Gund weave together the words of literary legends to explore the intersection of art, grief, and social justice.Description:  James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Muhammad Ali and Nina Simone are some of the artists featured in the moving new film “Meanwhile”, from National Book Award-winner Jacqueline Woodson and Emmy-nominated producer & director Catherine Gund. Their meditations on grief, art, breath and more are beautifully woven together as the film poses the question, how do you keep breathing amidst the chaos? Catalyzed by the Covid-19 pandemic and the police killing of George Floyd, Gund and Woodson tap into our shared existence. The artists featured in the docu-poem, with a haunting soundtrack by Meshell Ndegeocello, work through questions of race, political violence, resistance and identity — so much of what shapes our lives and relationships. “This is not a love letter to this country but to us inside this country,” says Woodson in the film. “We see us. We love us. We make eye contact and nod to us”. In this conversation with Laura Flanders, the trio of longtime friends discuss the film from Aubin Pictures, the losses they experienced in the 80s, and how the arts and poetry can compel us to enact change. Can we reclaim the “meanwhile”? All that, plus a commentary from Laura on hers.“. . . Having lost people so early and in such quick succession and under such an awful oppressive situation [of AIDS in the 80s], . . . each one of those hit so hard. We wrote and we made movies, and we had these elaborate memorials, and we did things to process and grieve. I am really holding on to that approach to death and dying as we get older, because I don't wanna ever not care.” - Catherine GundGuests:•  Catherine Gund: Producer & Director, Meanwhile; Filmmaker & Founder, Aubin Pictures•  Jacqueline Woodson: Writer & Performer, Meanwhile; Author, Brown Girl Dreaming; Founder, Baldwin for the Arts;  The Elders Project, Columbia Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

Sometimes in life, we must stop and ask ourselves, “Where am I you going next?” Other times, it's more fun to do a podcast takeover.No one has ever interviewed me quite like Cal Fussman. Cal has a gift – he pulls things out of you that you didn't even know were there. A prolific Writer At Large for Esquire, Cal has interviewed legends like Muhammad Ali and Mikhail Gorbachev, and he's the host of the podcast Big Questions. So, to mark 15 years since writing Start With Why, I invited Cal to take over my podcast and ask me the questions I don't usually get asked.Cal did get me to open up in this conversation, but not in the way you might expect. We talk about where I've been, where I'm going, the infinite game, creativity in AI…and why I've become so obsessed with friendship lately.This…is A Bit of OptimismFor more on Cal and his work, check out:Big Questions with Cal Fussman
