From his roots in elite boxing to launching transformational charity events, Ric shares how the most meaningful breakthroughs often come from the most mundane, disciplined habits. They explore the concept of a “personal code,” how loose goals keep us stuck, and why putting in the work, especially when it's boring or inconvenient, is the key to unlocking your potential. You’ll also hear the moving story behind Charity Boxing Nights and how choosing discomfort can create lasting change, not just in your life, but in others’.

📌 Key Takeaways:

• “Do the work” isn't a cliché, it’s a mindset. Success is built in the monotony of showing up daily, not grand gestures.
• Create a personal code. Growth starts with clarity and commitment to who you want to be, not just what you want to achieve.
• Lofty goals mean nothing without concrete steps. Vague goals are a way to protect ourselves from doing the work.
• Growth is often boring. But embracing the boredom is where true progress lies.
• Balance is possible. You can be driven and disciplined and make space for joy, rest, and fulfillment.
• Give back, go further. Learn how Ric’s Charity Boxing Nights have helped participants transform themselves while raising over £700,000 for NICU units.
• Reset is powerful. Discover why carving space for reflection and recommitment can reignite your personal or professional journey.
