How To Say No Without Losing Your Mission | John Cantrell

We sit down with John “The Ironman” Cantrell and talk about what it costs to always be available, and why he is choosing a new season that puts God and family first. We also dig into mentors, mindset, and endurance, from prison habits to an 18 and 0 boxing career and what it takes to build Topeka without burning out.

• shifting from saying yes to setting family centered boundaries
• the “only be good at two things” idea and choosing priorities
• getting opportunities through humility, hunger, and mentors
• building habits in prison and applying AA wisdom to growth
• creating a personal board of directors and inviting accountability
• understanding strengths with Working Genius and avoiding the weeds
• Open Skies and the power of shared worship to fight division
• using free boxing events to bring the whole city together
• endurance as a strategy in fighting, business, and life
• revitalizing downtown and neighborhoods instead of chasing sprawl
