We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Robert McCullough a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Robert , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I started off as a student in a kickboxing bag class which turned into more training and conversations with other guys who trained. I was invited to another gym to train there the coach took me under his wing and I started as his assistant teacher. I ended up with my own classes at the new gym he was hired at and soon I was sparring with fighters and had my first fight. My teaching was the day job and the fighting was my passion that got me out of bed. I became a world Champion MMA fighter and International Master Trainer

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

During Quarantine I was laid off and my wife left me and took my kids. I went from an international businessman and family man to running a personal training business out of a garage and consulting for fitness companies. I sold my home fought in court for my kids and launched a martial arts Striking system all the while enjoying my sons growing up. Two years later I have two successful businesses and purchased a new home and got engaged to my dream girl.

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

I truly believe what opened opportunities of success in my fields of work was putting in the extra work when know one was looking. Early morning & late nights which I made the “fun” part of my day blessed me with worldly opportunities that I was prepared to conquer.
