This week Adam talks with Doug “The Thug” Smith, the real-life inspiration behind the movie Goon. Doug shares his incredible journey from never skating as a kid to becoming a professional hockey enforcer, thanks to grit, boxing skills, and a supportive friend who helped tell his story in the book Goon. The conversation dives into Doug’s late start in hockey, his balancing act between law enforcement and pro fighting, and how Hollywood came knocking. It’s a raw, honest look at chasing unlikely dreams—and punching through every obstacle.
