Hey Now Podcast Season 2 with Steven Galeano @borichapin
On this episode of the Hey Now Podcast we had the chance to sit down with the number one 141 pound amateur boxer out of New York City Steven Galeano. Before we got into Steve’s journey we had conversations on a few things. We started off the conversation by discussing Mac Millers passing. Now Mac was a true artist who inspired many, so his death certainly came as shocking news with him being so young. Addiction and overdose are real things and it’s occurring more and more. Imagine the people that we don’t hear about? We discuss the importance of reaching out to one another because we simply don’t know what someone may be going through and helping them try not to lead into self-medication and getting the proper help that they made need.
After that we discuss the Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter fight. We spoke about how we viewed the fight and to no surprise we agreed that Danny Garcia beat Shawn Porter lol. We also talked a little bit about Adrien Broner and his stunts and is he really a good boxer at all? It was an extremely interesting conversation to say the least.
On the 21:59 mark we get a chance we get into the Steven Galeano journey. We touched on when he first decided to pick up some boxing gloves. How his older brother and his father really motivate him to be the person he is today but of course that also came with some bumps and bruises down the road. But if you ask Steven he would tell you that those bumps and bruises were needed. If he would have never gone through the fire, felt the floor, who knows which Steven Galeano would be here. From not listening to his trainer and wanting to do things his way, to him going through injuries and some tough loses those were experience that he had to go through, it was those experiences that shape him to be the person he is today. He is able to balance boxing and school, something that I truly admire. Steven also discuss with us competing in local tournaments, winning the Ringmaster tournament after many people doubted him and his experience fighting in Nationals as well as the preparations to get ready for the fights as well as what sparked him to really take the sport seriously.
Steven Galeano journey’s is one that I feel that many people can learn from. Life is a constant fight. Some days you win and some days you lose but what’s important is that you live to learn another day. That’s something we can learn from Steven, we can dwell and we can be sad but we don’t ever give up no matter what. We fight because that’s what fighters do. #HeyNow
