In this episode of Yin and Yancy, Yancy reflects on a powerful moment during his last fight, when an interviewer asked him, "Why do you do what you do?" This question sparked a deeper appreciation for the incredible support system he has—his family, friends, and loved ones—who allow him to pursue his passion for fighting. Despite not winning his last fight, Yancy focuses on the lessons he can take from the experience rather than dwelling on the loss. He emphasizes how important it is to not take losses home but to bring the lessons learned into his daily life, using them to fuel growth and improvement.
Throughout the conversation, Yancy shares how his perspective has evolved, especially in times of adversity. He reminds himself to be grateful for what he has achieved and to stay humble, always remembering the moments when he first wanted what he now has. Both Yancy and Andrew dive into the concept of choosing to learn from hard times, avoiding a victim mentality, and holding themselves accountable for their actions. This episode offers valuable insights on using challenges as opportunities for growth, staying grateful, and trusting the process as we continue to push forward in life and training. Tune in for this inspiring conversation on resilience and the power of perspective. Enjoy the episode!
