Big John has a lot to be proud of. Not only is his son, Johnny Fisher one of the leading lights in the boxing world, but "Big John" himself has also become a celebrity in his own right after going viral on Tiktok with his catchphrase "Bosh!" and his documented love for Chinese food.
Big John joins Steven today for a heartfelt chat about life in the limelight, the pride he has in his family, and how he's managing the fact that he himself is being mobbed on the streets by an all new generation of fans. He might even find time to squeeze in a cheeky takeaway...
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Taking yourself too seriously is never the answer to a happy life. You need to be able to step outside the serious side of life and laugh at yourself in order to be happy.
Everyone makes mistakes, but with the rise of social media as a way of life, the wrong words can lead to a banishment from which it's difficult to return. Finding a balance between free speech and offence is tricky and hasn't been solved yet.
People underestimate the value of authenticity when it comes to building a social presence. People are drawn to real people.
No one is invincible. We may think that we have plenty of time to make up for being absent, but life can be snatched away in an instant, so always let the people you love, know that you love them.
BEST MOMENTS
'Life's hard. We've all had ups and downs, but if you can't have a laugh along the way, then what's the point?'
'You should be able to express who you are'
'I know what I like!'
'Nothing comes to my head, because as quick as it comes, it's going to go. Just enjoy it'

ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
