Ryan Burnett is a former professional boxer who competed from 2013 to 2019. He was a unified bantamweight world champion, having held the WBA (Unified) and IBF titles between 2017 and 2018. At regional level he held the British bantamweight title from 2015 to 2017.

Ryan talks to Steven about life in and out of the ring, the sometimes challenging journey he took to become the world champion, and how he has taken the skills learned in the ring, and applied them to his life and business.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Boxing provides a set of life skills that can be carried on through life, such as overcoming adversity, the value of hard work, dedication and focus.
Reflecting on our legacies is always healthy, but we must never spend too much time in wishing we'd done things differently, or achieved more. The best of the best are grateful for their achievements, and don't spend time chasing shadows of what could have been.
When you have a mindset that wants to achieve more despite any odds, no obstacle can stand in your path. You can overcome anything.
Goal setting is crucial. We need to determine our vision and work relentlessly towards it. Without doing this, we become aimless.
BEST MOMENTS
'For every boxer turning professional, your dream is to become the world champion'
'I was very grateful for what I had, not what I could've had'
'When you have a strong mindset, and you're beyond relentless, then nothing matters'
'If I'm going for something, then nothing can stop me'

ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
