Greg "The Prodigy" Wootton, is the UK number one ranked super lightweight Muay Thai fighter, WMC MAD World Champion and has won 31 of his 35 fights. (That's a 90% accuracy in the ring btw.)
While training to become a world champion, Greg received a first-class honour degree in Sport and Exercise Science after having studied psychology in college. He's lived and competed internationally including Thailand. In the words of Vice Sport: "Wootton is not your average London lad.”
But today's biggest fight for Greg isn't in the ring. But rather outside of it. For he is taking on an epic challenge: debunking masculinity.
That's right, the extraordinary gift Greg Wootton brings to this episode is his ability to open up about so many realities that so many men face on a daily basis and yet are afraid to admit: body image issues, eating disorder, bottling up emotions, crisis of identity as a man, etc.
This is by far one of the most compelling episodes we've recorded so far. I strongly urge you to share it with your friends and with those around you who need to hear Greg's message.
Thank you!
