INTERVIEW 2017 CUBAN BOXING ACADEMY 2017


A raw interview back in 2017 with Tommy Kennedy IV on boxing, family, and staying real in a fake world. No polish, no PR. Listen to the exclusive audio here.

Listen to the Interview above on YouTube with a picture of the sea and a tree.



They say writing is a lonely game.
You sit in a room.
You stare at a wall.
You give the page a bit of blood and hope it gives something back.

Life does not work like that.
Life comes at you swinging.

This interview pulls me away from the desk and drops me back where things are physical and honest. No filters. No press fluff. No tidy angles. Just me talking about what shaped me.




Fathers and Sons
The weight of this conversation is not the boxing.

It is my son.

Fear changes shape when you become a parent. Pride does too. You watch them move through the world and you want to guide them without snapping something important inside them. You want them tough but kind. Alert but free.

This is the part I usually keep off the back cover. No brand. No biography. Just the truth of trying to raise a lad right in a noisy world.

Why You Should Listen
If you have read my work, you know I  write about working class pride. I write about resilience. I write about laughing when things turn ugly because sometimes that laugh is all you have left.

This interview carries the same weight. Straight talk. No shine. No act.

Press play.
Have a listen.
