In today’s episode, I sit down with UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin to talk about the lessons he learned through fighting, retirement, and figuring out what comes next. Forrest shares the moment he decided to go all in on The Ultimate Fighter, why professional athletes need to prepare financially for life after competition, and how becoming a father changed his perspective on success. We also talk about finding purpose when your body can no longer do what it once could, learning from the people around you, and resisting the temptation to compare yourself to others. Forrest brings his signature humor to a thoughtful conversation about growth, responsibility, and reinvention.
