Geoff Real has spent his life proving that strength isn’t defined by what you have — it’s built by what you refuse to give up.
Born with one hand, Geoff refused to let circumstance define him. Through years of dedication, discipline, and mindset work, he transformed what others saw as a limitation into his greatest strength — proving that the real fight is always within.
In this episode, Geoff and I discuss overcoming disadvantage, building confidence through challenges, and what it means to truly redefine possibility. His journey isn’t just about winning titles — it’s about mastering the art of resilience, self-belief, and purpose.
