Thriving on Fear and the Journey Towards Redemption with Mike Tyson
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 фев 2020
- You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and the same goes for heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson. The New York-native’s troubled youth was full of tough times, loss, and years in and out of crime. But along the way, Mike’s natural talent as a fighter and truly unique human being was discovered and led to him winning the heavyweight boxing title at the unheard-of age of 20. He’d go on to become one of the most naturally talented athletes and fiercest competitors to ever live, earning numerous titles and hundreds of millions of dollars in winnings, a fortune he’d lose nearly just as fast while struggling with toxic media attention, drug abuse, and failed relationships. I sat down with Mike at his Tyson Ranch, home to his latest ventures and production company, to discuss the intimate moments of his journey, many of which you haven’t heard via the media. Prepare for an emotional and intense conversation about thriving on fear, searching for redemption, struggling with self-control, and learning from the past in search of a better future. This is the true story of Mike Tyson’s second act.

“A person who are friends with everyone is a enemy to themselves “ - Iron Mike Tyson
This is something I realized and changed. I came to the conclusion that "Most people are $hit."
Can you please explain..
cortezforever he means if you go through life trying to please and have everyone like you you will become an enemy to yourself.👍🏻
Daynz Dozenz he means if you go through life trying to please and have everyone like you you will become an enemy to yourself.👍🏻
@@daynzdozenz9988 If you are a friend to everyone, this means you bend to please people, sometimes putting aside your values. Therefore you are in danger losing your true self.
"I don't have self-control. I have experience."
damn....
that was a gold nugget for real
Who is the one who is thinking having a choice or control is that one you or are you the witness of that idea ? And who is witnessing ‘ your ‘ choices would love to talk with mike listen to him and ask him those questions
When he was a teen or even in his early 20s the reverse was true for him.
He has both but makes it seem like he's only ever had the latter 😂
I could listen to Mike talk all day. Its like he’s my spiritual father. He makes me want to cry by how passionate he is with his truth lol.
Kamunu Odomankoma very passionate of you. Appreciate that .. I understand you
I feel exactly the same way. Such a good guy.
Mike Tyson the youngest heavyweight champion in history of boxing said a very wise thing which is pain Makes us enlightened... Bruce Lee the legend said do not wish for an easy life wish for a hard life Which will make you stronger...2 extra ordinary individuals... Mike is always reading learning discovering more about himself he is brutally honest and is a very deep thinker....
Facts, therapy for the soul.
I love you
Mike’s lowkey too deep for Tony
Isaac Dutes respectfully disagree
Glad u peeped that too
I just think tony tries to detour upsetting and emotional topics to save the difficulty of getting too deep especially with mike, it would be really hard to get in the shoes on mike fucking Tyson
Isaac Dutes u hit it on the head with that one
Facts...a lot of what Mike said went WAY OVER Tony's head!
This interview was like taking a trip in Mike Tyson's mind.
🤣 so true
This man is becoming a philosopher.
Its the DMT 😊
Watch old videos of Mike Tyson, he's been always like that. He's just getting wiser now.
He was a student
Now he is a teacher.
@Iben T. Rollin new age? lol have you ever done DMT?
@@soulsuccess Mike's always been like this, but I think his toad experience took him to the next level. Close minded individuals dont get it. They think psychedelics are just some bullshit that burnouts take to convince themselves that they're "enlightened". They dont see the true function of psychedelics. DMT and other psychedelics are nothing more than tools.
"I'm insecure, so I read alot. I want ppl to think I'm intelligent. But I'm intelligent w/o the books”
Sheesh. That was a mirror to my soul
honest question
what "But I'm intelligent w/o the books" means ?
@kaleel clark Thank you bro, I think that's the real education not what we get on the school
yahyawi AB Mike is a master in common skills we take for granted, the stuff you can’t learn from books
@@leedave9314 yes, this is so true, I mean real knowldge came from life, and to adjust this learning and become more deep is by Reading books in the matter that you interest you the most
It’s true perception only true can see. Some people can’t understand because they don’t have it so they judge intelligence different ( main stream). But here’s the trip, it’s not but it is because it’s true.
Mike’s childhood story was horrific. When he’s being interviewed, I hate that they always want to take him there. It brings out the dark side of him. He’s in his fifties, his life is much more than his childhood. He has overcome so much hardship. Talk about his philanthropy. Talk about the light in his life. Mike was the last true, pure heavyweight.
100% everyone should already know that, every podcast he gets asked the same shit
Nice, you guys speak from LOVE. We love him too. I love to heard his stories, is helping me with my own internal tragedy😐
I love it that’s real shit Mike is the only one who tells us our own darkest secrets
Small minds talk about people ... average minds talk about events ... great minds talk about ideas.
Absolutely brother
Symari Alexander you said it sister
Thanks for telling the people
I've always loved this quote.
Lol!! Tony Gonzalez doesn't have a clue what Mike was talking about a lot of it went over his head lol! Ritenow Mike Tyson is one of the greatest minds period. His perspective on life is spot on with everything!
I like how Mike is constantly trying to connect with the interviewer. In a strange way, nobody can match his depth just as no one could match his boxing.
Facts
Mike has an innate ability to know who he is, in a world built on images, he's thrown all that away and embraced truth. I think he is even stronger now than he was at his peak of being the baddest man on the planet.
Agreed mike is the best since Bruce lee
Yeah its very borderline psychotic/hypnotisizing.
Cliff Black As an Asian .IMO,Bruce Lee isn’t as deep as Tyson.Bruce is smart but he didn’t go through shits like Mike,he’s more of an poetic guy.Mike Tyson has been through real wars(mentally and physically)
The interviewer is getting all sorts of criticism on here but this has been one of the best podcasts I've seen. He let Mike speak and asked the right questions to get Mike to open up. He did a good job.
Exactly friend. The interview is about Mike, not the interviewer. He did a good job
They're used to Joe Rogan interjecting after every sentence
Note! Listening is...
U think this interview is good? go watch mikes interview about his book at the NY public library it will change ur life & perspective on life if you just listen & pay attention to everything he says!!!!! mike to me is the wisest person alive hes experienced both sides of the spectrum so deeply that hes got all the answers on how to live ones life hes got more intellect & genius quotes than anyone ive ever seen!!!!!!! He really is the baddest man on earth!!!!! in a negative way as a younger man but on a positive level as a older man hes one of the most beautiful human beings ever created!!!!! His lisp n soft voice is even beautiful its so gentle and heart warming that u could never believe that he ever made a bad mistake in his entire life if u didn't know anything about him or his past!!!!!! Such a amazing person!!!!! Its unreal!!!!
Word. He did a great job
The way Mike talks about his childhood, it’s like you can imagine it. Definitely a movie needs to be made about him.
His pain is his beauty.
Mike is so true and real and that’s what makes his pain beautiful power
art is pain
Clarificatuon, it is his triumph over his pain that is beautiful. Pain is not beautiful in itself.
Your name lol
Yes so honest
Nobody's going empty after watching This.. Such a Deep Talk!.. Tyson's evolution into a philosopher is Amazing
The toad will do that.
Kendra Anton lol 100%
I agree with you, he is absolutely fearless when talking about any subject
Mike considers himself uneducated, in reality he is so deep most of his thoughts are so way over our heads we can't fathom what he's trying to express.
Because he isn’t speaking from his head, he is speaking from his heart
There is a difference between educated and intelligent.
Mikes literally been this intellectual since he was first interviewed under Cus. Amazes me all the time how well he listens, absorbs. Thinks before he speaks. A lot of good personal traits we can all learn from Mike. I really admire him as a listner. My dad always told me growing up " Everyone respects a listener.
Free Safety Big play maker your dads a real one
I come to find that most people who can not write well, etc are great at talking and expressing themselves with their voice. He is so good to listen to
@@abrahamromero9398 Hey Thank you Abraham. Really appreciate that man. He's a good man definately. I'm a fortunate guy
RISE & UNITE same man, Dad’s are the Greatest. Too many males without them, mines may have not been the richest but definitely the toughest and richest spiritually and mentally. Dads build our character and virtues and mothers build our emotions. Too many emotional males now a days sadly. Kudos Brother!!
"My rock bottom is when I won the Championship."
gosh.
The Nation of Israel look at what happened very soon after that win. He was 20, wealthy, & had no direction. Cus created a monster, but didn’t live long enough to teach him how to be the kind of man he is now.
Tyson Fury said the same. The day after he beat Klitschko he looked at the belt and thought to himself 'is this it'?
Cus wasn't around to finish the job. Mike's words ring true because the creepy irony of the events that followed after him accomplishing the 'objective'. With winning came loss as his entire support system crumbled around him as Cus was gone, Jim Jacobs died and everything began to wither and fade until the darkness took over. I believe that Tyson was never truly able to taste success again in boxing without his family around him at that crucial moment in time. He had to tear it down completely and rebuild to where he is today. The real blessing is that he didn't succumb to his destructive tendencies and become a casualty.
Shawn Moore you hit the nail on the head.
They day you win is also the day you lose because the dream is over.
Mike Tyson just like Mohammad Ali is bigger than boxing. More than a World Champion. Mike I love you bro ❤🤴
Mike get emotions when he talk about ali
For real. I remember going to my cousins house to watch Mike fight on HBO. We didnt have satelite until @'92 so we had to go elsewhere to watch him fight. Mike is one of a kind and I love him for it. He doesnt sugarcoat anything for anyone. He is the epitome of being real
@Gordon Payne I did not compare them mate, I just said they were both bigger than boxing in they're own right. Muhammad Ali will remain the King nobody will ever come close. Mike Tyson himself is not a fan of his mindset back then but we all are human beings and are in error from time to time.
@Gordon Payne yeah ali was more into saying stuff like mixed couples should die and shit.
@Gordon Payne I find your comment disrespectful and disregarding of this Mike tyson. He speaks truth, raw and straight to the point. He's as legendary as Ali any time due to his huge struggle through times that would destroy many a man. I speak from experience, understanding and total respect of who Mike is today. You don't need to be highlighting comments he made decades ago that he probably hates himself for. Give him the credence he deserves because he is having a bigger positive impact to the human race than me and you could together. The man is a born again legend and deserves complete respect for laying himself bare in front of the planet. He denies nothing he's done. He's trying to show people that we can mess up in life but it doesn't have to destroy us forever and that we can break through self hatred to be free and happy.
Mike Tyson has went from one of the most dangerous people ever to one of the best philosophers that ever lived.
Ah he can still knock u out lol, so I be careful
Experience will change a man ✨. He has so much wisdom bottled up it’s crazy 🔥.
mike possesses elite level introspection. tony wasn't prepared for this.
I was not
Me neither
"We were all hiding in our filth with beauty."
Geez..
Such an enlightening interview
Not me, I have risen above fictional ways of being..
Tyler Woodard so true
You in CO?
@@lonecreations1740 TN
Mike is so honest and transparent about his past I feel like the interviews that he's in is like a therapy session lol.
Mike: Who Created God?
Tony: So Mike, what's your favorite Color ?
Yessss 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
😂😂😂😂
😂
God was always there,simple answer,better question is,why is the rib bone the only bone in the human body that can grow back, is it Gods way of reminding us of eve,a holiday celebration?
@@dantelane2020 tf r u talking about
18:03 we hide our filth with beautiful clothes and jewelry.
I've seen loads of Tyson sit downs but this is the best one
34:29 - "People that are humble never say the word 'humble'."
That sh!t hit me.
Mike is very aware
Exist N Nature Media consciousness
"Be motivated by your future, not your past" Damn....
I think the difference between Tony and Mike is that Mike's not afraid to talk about his dirt and his pain and go into detail and Tony has a politician type conversation one or two sentences about a subject and then change the question Mike's not afraid to give you his feelings the intellect and experience with lots of words and sentences
Tyson's the second coming of Yoda. Oozing of wisdom.
Lol
Mike Iron Tyson is sweating when talking. The memories, he is feeling whatever he is saying.
When Mike doesn’t smoke weed, he gets super raw and intense. He’s a legend
Pabzino Bree Probably why he’s always blazing ha
Weed opens up the mind to the third eye, he's deep whether he smokes or not.
Lol!!!!!!!
Jesus Christ. Mike Tyson's relentless positivity towards others is inspirational. Truly a living legend
This is the most honest, transparent and fascinating interviewed I have ever heard, THE PERSON THAT LOVES EVERYBODY IS AN ENEMY OF THEM SELF'S SO TRUE
So what Christ was a liar?
Bob Amazon do you love everybody; that you willing to die for everybody like Christ did? I care about people but I don’t have Agape love for everybody. This is why we have to denied ourselves everyday. I believe we use the word LOVE to often when in reality we don’t really know the meaning. Even Jesus Battle to die for this world, that’s why he said father passed this cup; not only that he only, selected 12 disciples. That was the teaching of Paul brotherly love; be at peace with every Man.........I believe in The most high obedience is better than sacrifice; God called me to obey not to be part of the world and love everybody but to be at peace ; he destroyed the world twice and his coming again, if he loves everybody why he destroyed Sodoma and Gomorrah and the people of Noah 🤔 read Génesis 6:6-7
hit me hard
Tyson employs tactics he learned from cus, using your social niceties to manipulate your mind. He'll break you down mentality whilst picking you up so you feel an affinity to him. If your lost make sure there lost along with you as long as they're following!
dejavudu 666 there’s something good in here..all you can do is grab the good he is speaking, it will help you and hopefully you can help someone else and then you will be fulfilled...
I was addicted to chaos. - Mike Tyson
Tony, I appreciate how you don’t interrupt Mike and let him find the words he’s looking for on his own. Sometimes less is more, especially with interviewing, and you get that. Solid interview. Well done. Easy sub.
The only thing Mike is afraid of is himself... that’s very deep. To understand what will happen if you lose control and let your inner monster out.... I understand that level of fear
Mike is highly intelligent!
It's the most humbling experience when you realize that you are no more important than the next person.
Richard Watts love that one
Mike Tyson has transformed into one of the most authentic humans on the planet. I love him. Tony really had to ride that wave of unpredictability in this interview and did a great job.
Lol , that last sentence lol!
No he didn't. Barely indulged. Didn't offer anything back. Even Tyson mentioned how closed off he was. But at least he listens and let's ppl talk
This interview just sucks you in. It's like watching a movie...wow
How true!!!!
Exact fucking ly
Mike is a genius man, he's really a Philosopher
Your not wrong
George Houston facts
Even though I’ve probably watched every Mike interview there is, he still always drops philosophical gems 💎 on life
A Butler same bro
Cus give him many
I know man mike is the best speaker,thinker on youtube maybe in the world!!
Tony Gonzalez was completely clueless this entire interview. Mike was speaking on things way over Tony's head. Mike is too deep. Been through so much. He is very in depth and reflective. Very introverted. Tony is a little too surface level in this talk.
I don't disagree but I believe that it was more about the teacher teaching the student it was Tony's interview but he asked more questions than Mike did Tony definitely learned more than Mike did in the podcast
I said the same thing. He actually ruined the whole interview
Eff Yu
@@jaietaylor2279 He didnt ruin the interview ,( albeit he obviously isnt on the same level as Mike) he let Mike speak. One of the most introspective interviews with Mike.
I don't like the interviewer at all and when I saw your comment and gravitated towards it.
This guy would say uh huh to very deep introspective thoughtful comments by Mike Tyson.
Doesn't matter we got to listen to Greatness while the interviewer was just uh huh uh huh I like it was nothing.
Like trying to downplay like it's no big deal what Mike was saying what a fukn tool!
Wow , I’m honestly blown away . Mikes mind is amazing , interesting , mesmerizing, intriguing, unorthodox, unpredictable and philosophically deep . His sentences are literally quotable the whole interview . I don’t care if he is /was on DMT or any anything ... this here ladies and gentlemen, is a phenomenal brain exercise.
This is the most funny interview
The way Mike talks sometimes on different platforms with different people , you can understand where he is from and what he has been through . He is that guy in the neighborhood that seems cool as can be but intimidating and will change up and go in your pockets in a minute . Tyson is a true street dude that became an animal in that enviroment. Scary . But to see how he has evolved is beautiful . A beautiful man born out of a horrible situation. Everyone can involve/
This is one of the most incredible podcasts you've made so far. This is going to go viral
Yeah, this is a classic
I think Mike Tyson made this podcast.
How can people on here talk about how basic Gonzalez is? Do you think the stuff Tyson is talking about is easy to understand? Tyson is a deep thinker, intense, and blunt. To the average audience, his thinking is mind blowing.
Omg i want to meet mike tyson before i die
Ikr
"Balance will find you. You are not going to find it. It will find you." - Mike Tyson.
MIKE IS SUCH A BRUTALLY HONEST MAN!
Best Tyson interview ever. He gets really deep. Full of wisdom.
“I wanna get to the good stuff”
Tony is way out of his league, and is clueless in this one . Good thing Tyson was on his own wave .
Exactly
yeah it just got to the best stuff, y put a stop on that
Puro Richard same thing I thought. Then carried on to ask some basic ass questions lol
I did a full on facepalm at that. Mike is over here spilling his guts about death and the idea of God and Tony wants to talk about the ranch lol. It was just too lucid and probably stumped him completely so he had to move onto some 'normal' shit.
i took that as a put-down. that WAS the good stuff, and he was basically dismissing it. Tyson clearly outclassed him
"GOD WILLING " much love iron mike .
Interviewer: How do you want to be remembered.
Mike: I just want to be remembered. That Mike Tyson existed.
Mike Singh fucking ell 😫😫😫
If all the ants died, the world would perish.
If all the bees died, " "
If all the birds died, " "
If all the humans died, the world would flourish.
Damn, Champ. Blew my cap back with dat one
Profound wisdom in that segment 27:06
Save a few good men ☺️
When mike tyson talks you listen period.
you kow shit is getting real when mike looks to the side and starts the sentence with LISTEN.. love your podcast.. glad that i found it
This is true "philosophy" right here. Mike's been through lowest low and highest high in his life and that is why he can spit out the truth about life cuz he experienced them. Truly beautiful
"you can love the world by Loving yourself because the worlds too big to hug"
Mike sounds like he has spent his whole life in a room thinking❤️
The reason these two don't mix well together is that Tony is fixated on positivity, while Mike uses the whole spectrum of human emotions to think and communicate his ideas. Tony wants to exclude half of life, and Mike embraces all of it.
Brutal & articulate. He might be THE force.
Life.
HE IS.............................................
“All of our enlightenment comes from pain.” SHEESH MIKE
I can't speak for anyone else,but me being a Recovering Alcoholic &Drug Addict got a lot out of this interview. Thanks for sharing Champ.
This is the best Mike interview ever... Ever!
Far from it
Yes it is
Tony you did a great job interviewing, Mike... You allowed him to speak, you can tell he felt comfortable, so the energy was genuine,, amazing interview
I think this is Mike Tyson's greatest interview
I was feeling very down and needed to sleep to get that depression feeling off me, couldn't, and then I stumbled upon this podcast; it really feels therapeutic...Thank you guys, you have no idea how inspiring and maybe how many lives you have saved just by sharing your personal life experiences.
Mike: "I hit rock bottom when i won the championship".
In other words: when we're high up we're usually more arrogant, egotistical, and foolish.
Kinda like needing to go through ego death or else ego will be the death of you.
@@itaintnuttinbutsomelove8685 prime example : King Von ?
Somehow Mike touched so many of us of a certain age, & thanks to RUclips he’s still creating new fans b/c there’s no comparison to him in his prime. We all cheered for him even though we knew he was a shot fighter post-prison. We all saw him fall and he could’ve become a joke & just OD’d but he had already carved out a place in us. We loved and still love you Mike. Thanks for being such a great champion, & for finding yourself. You’re still moving us, entertaining us, & you’ve created a second life from which we all get to continue cheering. ❤️ you Mike
Imagine bullying Tyson in the late 70 's and then seeing him become the most scary human being of the 80's and 90s
I think what's understated is the amount of pain Mike has 1) been through and 2) still going through. As someone who can relate with living through fear, pain, inner turmoil - whatever term you'd like - he has learned to live with the waves of pain and suffering but no doubt he still feels it deeply. I'm thankful he has and that I get to witness him at this stage of his life, it's a gift!
Tyson is talking to his future self. 100’s of years in the future
I LOVE HOW "CUS D'AMATO" WAS CREATING MIKE LIKE GOD EACH OF US!
Never before have I seen anyone who has the ability to be so introspective as Mike. He could genuinely be a top level therapist if he chose. Don't let his speech impediment fool you.
Mike Tyson will eat refried beans as his last meal. The greatest CHAMP of all time.
COLD GAME EXPOSED I’ve eaten the same shit over and over and drink from a pepper bottle
Mike dropping some gems 💎
The Word of God says "A Man of too many friends come to ruin; how can one recognize his enemies?" God bless everyone!
He's talking about psychology narcissism the narcissist that has something to prove he wears a mask as if he's confident and fearless but he's insecure and afraid. It's beautiful the way he speaks about it he knows his psychology thumbs up Mike
Every time I hear Mike I love him more because he shows us how to love ourselves and or journey to Self.
IRON MIKE an absolute LEGEND
Listening to Mike Express himself on this extended, relaxed, free flowing interview, I've come to understand that he is a deep thinking, wise Man. Much respect. Blessings.
Mike Tyson has always been an Icon, Idol and a larger then life figure. He doesn't know it but he's a Gus to all of us now. Thank you Mike
Mike Tyson is a teddy bear. A gentle and deep soul. Very inspiring individual!
True
I love to see here in comments that how much people love Mike and respect him now, There´s peace in you if there´s peace around you..
I think just like this man, always have and it's the reason I've never had many friends. I, too, was bullied just like Tyson when I was younger. I became a boxer for that reason and fell off when life got tough. Tyson is my idol, and the more I listen to him the more strength I develop to conquer my own world. With that being said, "A person who is friends with everyone is an enemy to themselves" is 100% right, and in my case, I was too real and outspoken for anyone to want to be my friend because they lived their lives running from who they really were while I was willing to face my own demons/fears alone and that's scary as fuck to a lot of people but I'm ok with that.
If you can't come to terms with yourself, you can't come to terms with life and if you can't come to terms with life then you're simply just a nobody. If you can come to terms with yourself, you can come to terms with your life, and if you can come to terms with your life then you're winning. It all starts with you not with your friends/people.
Facts of life.
Mike is a pure genius. “When I won the championship, that was my rock bottom” wow man, WOW! Then follows thru with so many jewels. I must shake this mans hand before I die or he dies.
Mike is genius he led the whole interview to his side completely and made the host just flow with wave instead of make confrontal questions
“True legend his hands was 2 weapons understand his mind is a true blessing” Nas
There isn't a single second of any day past, present or future that I couldn't sit here and listen to the goat talk.
Sooooo many gems in this. Its a video worth a re-watch or two. God bless them both.
This is "GOLD"
Yea that's me
Man what a great interview. So deep and inspiring!
Mike is a natural entertainer and storyteller, and warrior. Incredible life story.
Being around Cus and reading books in prison and daily life.Is one of many reasons Iron Mike is far more intelligent than your average person.
If all the birds died the world would perish, if all the humans died the world would flourish.
Sooooo deep. My mind has just been blown.
St Zenith I said damn 😳
I get chills every time Mike tells a story
This is the most open I’ve seen Mike. His story & words are quite inspirational. Well done Tony,
Love listening to these kind of talks ,its humbling man ..
At each stage of his life, Tyson is ever full of it.
I love Mike man...could listen to him talk all day
