Discipline, Sacrifice & The Fighter Mindset ft. Josesito López | Ep. 79
From a low-income neighborhood in Riverside, California.. to fighting on the biggest stages in boxing — Josesito Lopez is living proof that discipline and heart can shape destiny.
In this raw, inspiring conversation, I sit with “The Riverside Rocky” to talk life, legacy, faith, and the fighter mindset. Josesito opens up about growing up in gang-heavy neighborhoods, finding boxing at eight, overcoming loss and doubt, training alone for months, and building the discipline to stay in the game for decades.
He reminds us that success isn’t about talent — it’s about consistency, humility, and faith when nobody is watching
