In this episode of Auxano Lounge, we sit down with Ognjen Topic, a three-time world champion and Omnoy stadium champion in Muay Thai, to discuss his journey from escaping the Bosnian War as a child to achieving his ultimate goal of winning a title in Thailand. Topic shares the challenges he faced adjusting to life in America, discovering his passion for fighting despite his father's initial objections, and the relentless dedication and mindset that propelled him to success in the fiercely competitive world of Muay Thai. From training and fighting with a strategy of focusing on the present to overcoming injuries and setbacks, Topic's story is an inspirational example of how focus, discipline, and resilience can help achieve one's dreams.
