In this episode, we dive into the mind of Muay Thai fighter James Honey, who shares his journey of choosing Muay Thai over MMA and how it’s become a blueprint for life.
From the mental toughness it takes to deal with pain to learning how to handle both victory and defeat, James opens up about the power of visualisation, sobriety, and how staying calm in chaos is his edge in the ring.
He speaks on:
Mental prep > physical prep (80/20 split)
Using visualisation to stay calm under pressure
Why sobriety changed his life more than the 27 years before it
The importance of having the right circle
Training smart: knowing when to push vs. pull back
Fighting 2 opponents in one night with a broken nose
His ultimate goal: fight the best in the world
And how Muay Thai has helped him master his emotions, not fight with them
James isn’t just a fighter in the ring — he’s a fighter in life.
A must-listen for anyone chasing mastery, discipline, and purpose.
