Hello again Fight Friends!
A few months ago, a Shout Out fan sent me a screen shot that the SHOUT OUT PODCAST was the #6 Muay Thai podcast in the entire universe!! so naturally, my next question was "well, who's #1?" well, that would be the Puu'u Muay Thai Podcast! by this point I was well aware of this podast AND I TOTALLY ADMIT - if you are doing something better than me, I take notice and see how I can improve myself and level up through their influence. In saying that, I absolutely noticed the Puu'u Muay Thai Podcast was definitely that podcast/content creator that I needed to take note! after a few comments and DM's - HERE WE ARE! a Muay Thai podcast on a Muay Thai podcast!!!
Seeing as Jonathan and myself hold similar "titles" (Muay Thai men, gym owners, podcasters, fight coach, etc) this was a super easy and flowing conversation. Usually it feels like an interview - which is awesome, but sometimes it's nice to let your hair down a bit (or what I have left..) and just talk shop.
We discuss how Jonathan found Muay Thai and did almost everything to keep the fighter lifestyle including ACTUALLY SELLING HIS BLOOD! NO JOKE! to teaching several locations at once, till it was time to open Puu'u Muay Thai. We also talk about the MANY things Jonathan does to not just be involved in Muay Thai, but to be a driving force in pushing and growing Muay Thai in the USA. We discuss the difficultly of running a gym and having to pivot daily during the cov!d era, the rise of the good and bad "content influencers" and of course - DOING A MUAY THAI PODCAST!
A great talk with a fella who walks the walk. This was such an easy conversation we didn't talk fights - GREAT!! - because the leaves us to do another pod chatting about my favourite topic - FIGHTS!!
SHOUT OUT TO YOU JONATHAN!
