אודות פרק זה
What happens when the greatest of all time kneels to honor someone we’ve almost forgotten? In this powerful conversation, Roy Firestone takes us behind the scenes to a moment with Muhammad Ali that forever changed how he sees what a champion truly is.
Roy, the Emmy‑Award winning journalist and master interviewer, brings to life the story of an elderly fan in a nursing home in South Beach, how Ali listened, how he bowed, how he affirmed dignity—and in that moment revealed what victory really means. We follow Roy’s journey as a kid in Miami Beach, anchoring his first TV story with Ali, realizing right away that sports isn’t just about wins or losses—it’s about uplifting humanity. Through vivid sensory detail (the wheelchair turning, the room of silent elders, Ali’s voice steady), Roy invites us into the room, into the truth: champions don’t just win—they serve.
By the end of this episode you’ll feel invited to ask yourself: Who will I uplift today? How will I use what I have—my business, my influence, my presence—to affirm someone’s dignity? Tune in and let Roy’s story inspire your next act of service, your next bold move in business with a servant’s heart.
P.S. If you’re ready to step into your own role as a champion of others—your next bold move starts with a listen.
