A candid Tyson reflects on vulnerability, money, fame, being misunderstood and why losing everything taught him more than having it all

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 18, 2025 / Mike Tyson, world heavyweight champion and one of the most iconic figures in professional sports, met up with renowned speaker and entrepreneur Sean Callagy for a raw and brutally honest conversation that goes far beyond boxing and explores Tyson's past, present and future as well as his views on greatness, success, fear and leadership. The interview can be heard on Callagy's "Unblinded" podcast, available on Apple Podcasts at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unblinded-with-sean-callagy/id1844970260.

"Unblinded" ranks as the #1 business podcast in the world and the #9 podcast overall, reaching audiences seeking personal and professional growth and mastery of process, influence and oneself.

In this powerful episode of "Unblinded," Tyson reflects on his childhood in a world shaped by violence, crime and survival. He recalls the life-altering moment that changed everything: meeting Cus D'Amato, the mentor who didn't just teach him how to fight but saved his life by instilling in him relentless discipline, mental conditioning and an unshakable understanding of fear. Callagy and Tyson explore the power of mentorship, the devastation of losing the right guide and how discipline creates greatness.

Tyson speaks candidly about fear as a weapon, the fine line between confidence and arrogance, the psychological warfare of fighting and the lessons learned from money, fame, loss and legacy. This is not a redemption story, but a raw, philosophical and deeply human exploration for anyone who knows they're capable of more and is searching for the direction, structure and internal fire required to become the champion of their own world, even when the odds are stacked against them.

"Mike Tyson is a multi-layered and frequently misjudged champion whose excellence reaches well beyond boxing," said Callagy. "He has an uncommon capacity to shape others through unwavering discipline and a profound grasp of fear. Tyson understands where self-belief ends and ego begins, and he knows how to direct his intensity with intention to reach the highest levels of performance. Through mastery of both body and mind, he represents true resilience, turns adversity into momentum and inspires those determined to pursue their own path to greatness."
