Show Notes
Dylan Turner is a Professional Boxer from Las Vegas, Nevada. Dylan and his videographer Angelo set out on a 50 state roadtrip with the objective of fighting one boxer in each state. Inspired by a viral video of a YouTuber skateboarding across America, Dylan decided to take his skillset in boxing and set out on a similar journey to inspire people to go all-in on their dreams. While many people might see his journey as a glamorous one from the outside, Dylan and Angelo embarked on their journey with a total of about $5k combined, and have been sleeping out of their car and eating at Costco food courts for the majority of their trip. Dylan discussed the things he's learned about people throughout his journey on the road, and the ups and downs of living in his car for months at a time while traveling the country. Faith was a common theme that carried throughout this entire conversation, and Dylan talks about how his faith has led him to chasing his passion with this project, has put him in a position to lead young men in youth group, and how his faith serves as a guide for him throughout his life. Key Moments & Takeaways: Why he left comfort behind to chase a dream Living out of a car while traveling the country How faith and prayer gave him the green light to do something out of the ordinary Making meaning through service, not recognition Finding joy during the hard parts of the journey instead of after them The responsibility of being seen and leading with purpose This serendipitous episode came about after I had sparred with Dylan when he dropped in at the Grindhouse, and his story inspires me to take more risk and trust in the calling that lights my soul on fire. Hope it does the same for you.
