In this episode of Smashing PBs, host Shyr sits down with Richie Hardcore, a former Muay Thai champion, community advocate, and sociology-trained thinker, for a conversation that goes well beyond the ring.

Richie shares his journey from a challenging upbringing to finding purpose through martial arts, and how discipline, movement, and stepping into discomfort helped shape his mental resilience. What begins as a conversation about fighting opens up into something deeper, touching on masculinity, violence prevention, and what it really means to be “tough” today.

They also dive into why modern life can is often too sedentary, how physical training can shift your mental health, and why growth often comes from being challenged rather than staying comfortable.
