A tribute to George (Champion in the ring and in business)

Sad news that George Foreman has passed away at 76…

As I sat reflecting on his extraordinary life, I couldn't help but be struck by the magnitude of his impact…

Not just in boxing, but in entrepreneurship and personal reinvention.

Few people truly embody transformation like George Foreman did.

Think about his journey….

• Rising from poverty in the segregated South to Olympic gold medalist at just 19
  

• Becoming heavyweight champion of the world in 1973
  

• Finding faith and becoming a minister after his first retirement
  

• Returning to boxing at 38 and reclaiming the heavyweight title at 45 (making him the oldest heavyweight champion in history)
  

• Transforming himself into a beloved entrepreneur with the George Foreman Grill, which generated more wealth than his entire boxing career

What makes Foreman's story so remarkable wasn't just his physical power (though with 68 knockouts, that was undeniable).

It was his ability to completely reinvent himself multiple times throughout his life.

He went from a feared, intimidating fighter to a warm, charismatic minister and entrepreneur.

From someone defined by his aggression to someone known for his smile and gentle spirit.

His story reminds us that our identity isn't fixed...

We can evolve, grow, and transform ourselves at any age.

After losing to Muhammad Ali in the famous "Rumble in the Jungle" in 1974, many thought Foreman was finished.

But he later called that defeat "the best thing that ever happened to me" because it led him to find his purpose beyond boxing.

That's a powerful lesson for all of us...

Sometimes our greatest setbacks contain the seeds of our most meaningful transformations.

As entrepreneurs, we can learn so much from Foreman's ability to adapt, to leverage his name and reputation into new ventures, and to remain authentic even as he evolved.

The George Foreman Grill has sold over 100 million units worldwide…

A testament to his business acumen and the power of personal branding done right.

Today, I invite you to take a moment to honor George Foreman's legacy.

Perhaps ask yourself…

What transformation might be waiting for me?

What reinvention could take my life and business to places I haven't yet imagined?

Rest in peace, Big George.

Thank you for showing us that our greatest chapters can come at any age, and that it's never too late to become who we were meant to be.

With respect and gratitude,
