## Resource

O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit step outside the football world and into the ring with comedy writer Josh Corey , who took on one of the most unlikely challenges imaginable — becoming a boxer with zero experience. Josh shares the story behind his podcast From Writer to Fighter , documenting his journey from Hollywood writer to stepping into a real fight. What started as a personal challenge quickly turned into something much deeper — a test of discipline, identity, and resilience. In this episode, the guys dive into: Why Josh decided to train for a real boxing match at 37 Learning he could actually take a punch (and keep going) Breaking his nose in three places — and still fighting The emotional impact on his family, especially during his mom’s battle with cancer How boxing and storytelling surprisingly mirror each other The challenge of turning real-life pain into a compelling podcast They also mix in some NFL talk, Josh’s love for football, and his all-time favorite Miami Dolphin. Edited by Sevach Melton. Theme song created and performed by The Honorable SoLo D. The Fish Tank is presented by: Van Horn Law Group https://www.vanhornlawgroup.com/ CasaBella Design Group https://casabelladg.com/
