In this episode of The Recognized Authority, Alastair speaks with Cam F. Awesome, a professional speaker and one of the most successful boxers in US boxing history. They discuss how Cam's background in boxing has helped him develop a unique perspective on overcoming adversity, using humour to engage audiences, and the overlap between performing in the ring and at the speaking podium.
Cam's story highlights the power of a winning mindset, the importance of mental toughness, and the value of embracing failure as part of the journey to success.
Cam's philosophy is based on a simple equation: 1+2=3. He shares how this equation helped him become a National Champion in boxing within two years of taking it up. Cam believes any anyone can use it to achieve their goals.
The key is believing in yourself (1), setting a clear goal (3), and doing the hard work (2) required to achieve it.
During the conversation, Cam shares his experiences with failure and how he used it to succeed in his boxing career. He talks about the importance of mental toughness, gratitude, and developing a winning mindset. He also discusses how he didn't make it to the Olympics despite qualifying three times, but he used the experience to become a better boxer and to keep pushing himself to succeed.
This was a fascinating conversation that reminds us that with hard work, a winning mindset, and the courage to embrace failure, we can achieve incredible results.
“If you can fail without being discouraged, success becomes inevitable.” -- Cam F. Awesome on The Recognized Authority podcast
“One plus two equals three. I'm one. Three is the goal. One plus two equals three. What is two in this equation? Two is what I have to do to win. The reason why I call two number two is because it is the way it sounds is the actual shitty part of the job! It's the actual hard work.” -- Cam F. Awesome on The Recognized Authority podcast

Meet the Host
I created the The Recognized Authority podcast to help independent consultants and experts to get more clients without being dependent on referrals.
I'm a former software engineer who has converted to "The Dark Side" becoming a business and marketing consultant. I built my first website on GeoCities in the before-time of 1996, and I've been hooked on websites ever since.
I left a safe corporate job in early 2007 to start and grow my digital marketing business during the worst recession in modern history - that was a wild ride!
Along the way I co-founded several start-ups, some of which were mildly successful, and I wrote a book called "Running a Website with WordPress: A Quick Guide for Business Owners".
