Those Who Get It, Get It

A Lesson From Johnny Nelson ME, From Our Podcast With Him

If you haven’t already seen it on our Instagram…

Yesterday, we released our exclusive interview with none other than Johnny Nelson MBE!​

It was a pleasure to sit down with someone who is blessed with so much earned wisdom from his incredible career as a professional boxer.

There were so many gems that can be taken away from this episode, so go and check it out before reading this newsletter!

Johnny started training at the infamous Ingle gym when he was 16 years old.

No intention of boxing, didn’t even want to spar.

He just wanted to go down to a social club with his mates.

Despite getting bruised and battered more frequently than one would like, he still stuck around.

Why?

Brendan Ingle.

The man who produced 6 world champions in one small gym in Wincobank, Sheffield.

Although I didn’t know him personally, he mentored my mentor and I have heard many anecdotes from Lee & Johnny about Brendan.

Brendan taught people how to think, he saw things in young men and women that nobody else saw in them.

He made them believe in themselves, he brought the best out of his students and the results speak for themselves.

Why am I telling you this?

There was something Johnny said in the episode that got me thinking.

“You just needed to listen"

Brendan coached hundreds if not thousands of people but like Johnny said in the podcast, those who got it, got it.

There is no shortage or lack of information and value out there.

Books, podcasts, courses, webinars, seminars, mentors.

We have access to more information than ever before.

But those who actually listen, those who think for themselves and apply what they have been taught are the ones who become world-class.

Johnny calls himself a smart student.

Lee was a smart student.

You can be a smart student too.

Learn to listen and think.
