"20:30 Moving in With His Coach At 16"
I think you mean "moving in with her coach."
Please, please, please, copy edit your good stuff!
When did this channel go from educational to entertainment? 😅
The thumbs are up
Inspired 👏👏
TY so much for your story! Wrestler in high school, became bulimic, lead to anorexic, lead to alcoholic, lead to liver failure...now sober 3 years, healthy other then fighting cancer-diagnosed this January. :(
Your strength is inspiring!
God is with you! Blessings
Damm. Catch a break woman! 🤞🏼
Hang in there my friend.
Proud of your 3 years, that is not an easy feat. You’ve conquered so much and will conquer this as well.
GOD saves his HARDEST BATTLES for his STRONGEST of WARRIORS ❤
When she started getting emotional the way you put the attention on yourself instead of it being awkward allowing her to regain herself and get right back into the conversation was something like a art!

Explain yourself @@JesusFollower596
@@JesusFollower596 😂😂😅 do you know what I mean. She’s a classic narcissist

Lmfaoooo
I don’t feel bad for her at all I find her to be immensely fortunate she had a life millions of people dreamed of all the money set for life financially many books out royaltied good health good eye sight and out of the sport in good health top of the UFC she had a full ride . She’s always been prone to depression she seems physically fine to me she also is a pitty seeker . Never owned up to her lossses sore loser
His closing comments to Ronda were so beautiful! And to see the appreciation on her face said it all. Thanks for this awesome video!
Subscribed! Just discovered you with this interview and I'm excited to see your other interviews! Love the "leave a question for the next person" thing. That's great. Ronda has a great story and thank you for interviewing her and giving her the respect she deserves!
I think a lot of the problem around 2014-2015 was that the media hyped Ronda up so much that it made it impossible for her to take a normal loss. Much respect to her 😊
She hyped herself. To this day she says she’s the greatest fighter who ever lived. You can both respect her time in the sun, and honestly critique the delusion.
I think a lot of it can be explained by the concussions and the fear of that. She was totally respectful in the interview. People change when not under pressure.
Also it’s the fight game. Conor McGregor has done worse.
In my opinion it’s because she’s a woman that she gets more flack for that. Women Must behave in a certain way but if Conor does it well okay.
@@caveman726 but that attitude was fueled by the media hype and people around her blowing up her ego. It’s only natural
@@tonyj801 just because it blew up her ego doesnt make it not her fault. she still has responsibility to take.
This exact same thing is happening with Catilin Clark!
Love how vulnerable and honest she is. Pray for her success and happiness because life can hurt at times.
She seems to just continue to use excuses to me. I had concussions, I saw stars after being hit…. Blah blah. I want you to show me a person who does combat as a profession that has not had MULTIPLE CONCUSSIONS. They all are dealing with the same stuff.
What were you listening to? She was neither of those two things.
She sucks
She wasn't so nice to her opponents like Miesha and holly holm.
On one hand I admire her for being a pioneer in MMA and olympic judoka, has made boat loads of money but on the other hand, her being a MMA bully to other women, her opponents, her absolute cockiness, her bad loser losses.. she deserves alot of it coming her way.
Why Connor McGregor was initially great was he would be a bully, but respectful when it was over or when he lost. (He's lost the plot these days).
@xaniiu and some of them go crazy, some commit suicide, some end up complete vegetables. It affects everyone differently but it IS real. So many of our young rugby players suffer CTE that ruins their lives.
Love your channel bro. Unfortunately, there is so much info and such little time. Sending you love and light. Keep doing what you are doing
Thank you for being so vulnerable and human 🙏
It is so beautiful to see this level of authenticity and honesty, which we need more of in this world. I love that you completely own the choices you made and are willing to show us the raw emotions that came with them. Thank you Ronda and thank you Steven for facilitating this interview, so grateful for your work 🌻
That interview was spectacular. You promised us that if we subscribed you would keep raising the bar and you were right. Bravo. This interview reminds me, once again - no matter what something looks like on the outside, everyone is going through things. Be compassionate because you can't know the private struggles.
He interviewed a washed up MMA fighter who is no longer relevant.
@@MendyJanelle He interviewed a young woman becoming an adult. I guess the saddest thing from reading some of these comments is how many of us fail to make that transition or even have a clue of what it means to become.
@@MendyJanellethat's fine. You're over the hill and you were never relevant.
@@joesmith1142 a young women becoming an adult ?! SHE'S ALMOST 40 BRUV. 🤣🤣🤣
@@JohnnyCarterMusicOfficial she's a Westside girl. Thats the equivalent of about a 20 year old anywhere else. It takes us a decade or so longer to catch up to the rest of you boring folks.
This is the best representation of Rhonda I've seen. I wasn't keen on her in wrestling at all because of the persona they promoted for her. I loved seeing her as just a person 😊👍🏻
Dude. Think about it: She HAD TO be better. Most of the time it's the mentality, not the physicality, that decides it.
@@c.d.yeaman2400 It's an overly sympathetic bogus portrayal of an awful human being.
She was a terrible performer and has always had an awful attitude.
Ronda, not Rhonda😂😂😂😂
@@nicksstuff603 exactly, Ronda has always been a shit human being. Ain’t nobody feeling bad for her
This interview really helps me. I have those negative thoughts about myself too. I thought I was the only one. Everyone looks so confident. I wish I had confidence enough to become something in my life. Thank you for being transparent. You're so beautiful. God bless you and your family.
Who would have thought Rhonda has been through so much and is so sensitive and real and inspirational. What a great interview 🎉
Love how she acknowledges and spreads apraxia awareness now after that encounter with me and daughter! Wr love you Ronda!
Love how she blames everyone else for why she wasn’t successful. Always has an excuse and never takes responsibility….what a role model
@@nathanmarsden6864You're taking the accountability/responsibility/victim thing too far. We all have circumstances in our lives, including DNA and environment. Also, she is a very successful person. She's just explaining her story as it seems to her. Everyone does this. Acting tough doesn't make you tough.
@@brushstroke3733 not really? Having an excuse for every loss is taking accountability at all. When she lost she just wasn’t good enough simple as that. It’s always something or someone else fault. She was amazing in UFC for awhile then she fell off. She was never a good wrestler in wwe. That’s on her, yet she made excuses every step of the way
@@nathanmarsden6864 WWE is real athleticism, but the outcomes are pre-determined. It doesn't take a genius to see that the wrestlers are performing, not fighting. We all seek to explain life in cause and effect terms. She's not different from anyone else in this regard. To assign success to our own doings and failures to outside events is one of the most ubiquitous of human behaviors. Did you take an active role in constructing your heart and lungs or did those things just happen? What does ypur response hint about everything else in life?
@@brushstroke3733 thanks for explaining to me what WWE is…didn’t know before you just said. You’re doing too much tbh, professional fighters know what they’re getting into. Not many of them make the excuses she does 🤷🏻♂️ relax
interviews with PhD's, business tycoons, scientists, teachers, et al..... AIN'T got NOTHIN on this interview. a master at work. i don't care two figs about judo or wrestling but this was FASCINATING!
Great interview and puts everything in a much more realistic perspective with all the background info. Much respect and thank you !
This episode made me subscribe. Both the guest and interviewer are both so incredibly relatable and “in depth” about many different topics that I think most every person can benefit and relate to. Thank you so much!
Hate to say it but if you played any combat sport or physical sport Concussions are part of the game ! People can act like now they care more about a persons health but thats far from the truth! Its all about MONEY and Most sports are unsafe Today!!! Even the athletes playing it , Like the CEO said they all in the darkness and paying the prices of the next MAN and sacrifices !!! RIP KOBE!
I’m surprised at how grounded Ronda comes across ….. and humble too.
One of my favourite conversations on this channel so far.
Only took like half a decade to humble herself enough to talk about shit
The image you are selling in the UFC / WWE is definitely different from what the person is privately.
@@allybaapp1053 Did you not listen to the conversation?
@@allybaapp1053 How long did it take you to become humble?
she got humbled. twice. infront of millions of people
Ronda is intelligent and articulate, and despite her emotional tears she has a ready smile and laugh. I can't comprehend how she could suffer so many concussions and still be who she is in this interview. She is beautiful and her husband is a lucky man to have such a jewel.
She just learned to spell concussion recently when she was googling better excuses.
I don’t feel bad for her at all I find her to be immensely fortunate she had a life millions of people dreamed of all the money set for life financially many books out royaltied good health good eye sight and out of the sport in good health top of the UFC she had a full ride . She’s always been prone to depression she seems physically fine to me she also is a pitty seeker . Never owned up to her lossses sore loser . I also don’t believe the concussions another strategy to gain sympathy
@@KS-iy5xrand here comes the negativity… 🥴
@@KS-iy5xrwhat part of Brain injury is confusing to you?
@@purplegirl8036 The part that is made up.
I just wanted to say that I subscribed because I like the way you phrase the questions,it really seems to get the responses flowing.good job
Wow this was awesome I felt every emotion with her and you this was a classy and amazing interview very down to earth and open hearted. We as fan should aways remember the humanity in those who pretty much give their lives to our entertainment, their struggles are real just like ours
Thank you for interviewing Ronda! My 9 year old daughter loves her and jui jitsu! There is a meet and greet here in Vegas my daughter can’t wait to meet her! Thank you for being you, Ronda Rousey! Everyone has a story and thank you for sharing!
Toll 😊
Meine Tochter ist 8 Jahre alt und liebt Karate und mehr. Sie trainiert und ist eine Kämpferin.
I love how she came to the realization mountain climbing wasn’t what was going to make me happy and that the idea of accumulating all these achievements would ultimately make me happy forever. I completely relate to this and I’m sure so many out there do.
What would make her happy? Painting 🖼 🎨
Bob Ross is awesome. Most relaxing guy, ever!
Love this channel. Every episode is mind blowing…I’m glad I subscribed to it. Keep it coming
Love a pud cast this was definitely up with the best of thanks so much both of you so much resonated and and lots of similar struggles, which is always great to no some else relates. Thanks again ❤️🙏🏾
I never knew much about her, but my have I been converted into a Rousey fan!! Maybe some years too late, but she is an unbelievable example of strength, adversity, and heart. Thank you DoC and Thank You RR for sharing so much of yourself! ❤
She’s definitely different behind the scenes. I enjoyed this conversation. Thank you Steven I love your channel

Your videos are so much appreciated.
This might be the best interview with Ronda that I have ever seen. This humble version of her is what so many people have been missing.
Ronda Rousey in the UFC which is all she should be known for was already a dinosaur in the sport. She specialized in literally just the ground game and only the arm-bar submission. Once she got exposed with that kick to the head by Holly Holm it was all over and everyone saw her for what she was. As far as the WWE although not a pro-wrestling fan from what I hear she's stiff as a board with zero interest in learning the business. Throughout this interview she comes off as simultaneously a narcissist and whiny and very unlikable.
Cap
@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews her first year wasn't bad...she took off to have a kid an when she came back they stopped protecting her as much. The promos and matches got longer and much like ufc she was exposed.
This is the best interview I’ve watched on DOAC, and I wasn’t even a Ronda fan. Now I am. Huge thank you 🙏
Same.
Yes! I'd never heard of her before and have never been a spectator sports fan, but she's absolutely brilliant!
Read my detailed review below. If you are still a Rousey fan afterwards .... then you suck.
U cringe af lil bro…
She is the best female fighter ever watch her fights
Glad I watched this interview. She is so much more engaging, vulnerable and real than I thought. Wasn’t aware of her early loss of her beloved father. Wish only the best for her and her family.
You believe her? You think Steph slaps that damn hard?
@@Ishbikes You're either being facetious or you are ignorant to the facts about concussion.
@@yomo1690 I’m a biker. I’ve had several concussions while practicing stunts & ppl who can’t drive crashing into me. So I have a dog in this race.
@@Ishbikes so you should know that repeated concussions makes it more easy to get concussed i.e CTE. Not to mention she was born with a brain trauma (lack of oxygen). I don't actually know what your point is. She has been competing since she was a kid. Anecdotally have you never seen a boxer who for years has a reputation for an iron chin, gets KO'd and then seemingly can no longer take a punch?
@@Ishbikes As someone who worked in neurosurgical trauma, I’d say her story is very credible. It’s not just one “ damn hard slap” , it’s many over time. Classic example is Muhammad Ali. And these “ sheer lines” that are typical in the brains of fighters like this end up disrupting motor function to the point you have Parkinson’s-like symptoms.
Glad I found this channel about two weeks ago & yes i'm one of the 41% subscribed.
This was awesome, thanks for sharing Champ
Steven I love your sensible and thoughtful questions for her, I really appreciate the way of you interviewing your guests it is neutral, engaging and thoughtful "in the flow" and there is always this special room you create so they can show themselves in a very intimate way, without getting interrupted by the interviewer. I just have to leave you this comment, it always comes to my mind if I am listening to your appreciated Podcasts ❤
We can learn a lot from Stevens empathic way of interview
I completely agree with your comment here. Steve is a great host not overbearing in any way and very perceptive. He is also well prepared for his interviews
Agreed 👍. Steven is a incredible interviewer.
Amazingly I watched the whole episode without forwarding through any of the questions, that’s how good this is and how much I enjoyed it
This was one of my favorite episodes. Ronda Rousey is so inspirational and I love how the host carried out this interview.
This was such an excellent interview. So much so that I have to subscribe to the channel so that I can see more interviews like this. I’m not sure why you aren’t at a major network, but you should be! The “it” factor is very present.
Every time I hear Ronda talk I fall more in love with her spirit. Her honesty and pain regarding IVF is so real and her bravery for sharing this pain helps so many heal. Thank you for interviewing her and sharing this gem of a human with all of us. Love you both!!!!❤❤❤
Everyone has pain with IVF
The BEST interview with Ronda ever ... by a looooong stretch ! You are such a class act, whoch makes you a great interviewer.
Also, I am so happy I got to see Ronda in a totally different light. So much respect for her, what a total unit. Happy she is finding peace with life, with self and the world around her. ❤
whoch lol how did your phone even let you type whoch
Loved the interview! We was very organic and allowed us to see a side of Ronda that is more human. And not just this superstar athlete that she is. Thank you for inspiring Ronda
Aw man....experiencing a family death at such a young age is, well...hard to explain. If I felt more comfortable divulging personal stuff here, I would, but I'll just say that it affects you in ways you can never foretell. I was very young and almost 40 years later things are still showing up, I assume because there's an awareness and understanding in adulthood that lacks in childhood; now it's almost like delayed pain, or sadness for the people who were adults back then. Things happen in life thay trigger those memories and sometimes they are incredibly hard to traverse through. It's unexpectedly complicated. I'm glad you interviewed Rhonda and glad she was comfortable enough to share so much. Thank you both.
This was an amazing interview. One of my favorites. I always wondered what happened to Rhonda. I enjoyed watching her fight as well.
Rhonda, when you can truly stop caring about what other people think about you, you will truly be free. I pray you learn to do this so you can experience and truly freebto live your life and enjoy who you are and all that you have been blessed with and have peace.🙏
Thanks Rhonda for this interview, and your definition of suicidal feelings and why you didn't want to leave that pain to your loved ones. That was the best and most compassionate I've heard.
This comments section is so nice without toxic wrestling fans in it. The fans help exacerbate many issues that wrestlers might have about their self-image and performances, and they get extremely personal with things they might say about these irl people.
They won't say anything in this comments scenario because they rely on their peers to back them up on any horrible thing they have to say about any wrestler.
Never watched a fight in my whole life, but I loved this interview!
Our bodies (especially the brain) WILL dictate how much is too much even when we continue to push. 😢 Ronda will forever be the absolute champion! ❤
Holly disagrees with that assessment. She was once great, but there weren't many females in the sport to begin with
I love the person of RONDA ROUSEY but I hated her actions when she was angry I felt like she was holding in so much trauma that she would just be angry and I felt so bad for the way she handled her career in the UFC and the way people turn on her because the person as we see here is great to see open up. I do feel she should have a documentary of her life and career because of what she has done no other woman could of had the chance to do. She broke into the UFC when people weren't into seeing women fighters and RONDA ROUSEY she should be very proud of herself for being the first to ever do it she brought great women fighters into the UFC she's truly a legend.
facts. you a fan of the sport like me. she was insufferable. its easy for people not in the know to gravitate towards a wonderful winner but i was there for the do nothing bitch phase and how immature she was.
I don’t feel bad for her at all I find her to be immensely fortunate she had a life millions of people dreamed of all the money set for life financially many books out royaltied good health good eye sight and out of the sport in good health top of the UFC she had a full ride . She’s always been prone to depression she seems physically fine to me she also is a pitty seeker . Never owned up to her lossses sore loser . What did she expect she did judo mma boxing and now she’s complaint of concussions and infertility !!! Some women can’t even afford ivf treatments
Ronda's honesty is so beautiful. I've always found her to be so inspiring ❤
Wow, this interview was fantastic! Thanks to Ronda for being so courageous and transparent. This was such a "real" interview.
Excellent interview! Thank you 🙏🏼 She’s a badass, allowing herself to be vulnerable and sharing personal experiences. ❤

Rhonda is proof that physical toughness adds very little to resilience and mental strength.
ehhh, being a woman has more to do with it.
@@DanRustle women ☕
if you don't think it takes a lot of mental toughness to accomplish what she has, you're insane. yes, she has mental flaws that limit her potential to an extent. without a doubt. but you cannot accomplish what she has and not have a lot of mental strength. there are various ways to measure mental strength. she is high in some and lower in others.
What are you talking about? I don’t know if physical toughness adds to resilience and mental strength … on the other hand… How do you train every day for hours month after month year after year without having resilience and mental strength ..how do you go through 3 or 10 rounds in the ring or octagon, without resilience and mental strength, ?
@@DanRustle WTF ?
Terrific interview - much new love and respect for Ronda. Liked & subbed.
I have nothing but respect for you! Thank you for all the good memories, champ. Your story is really inspirational.
Thanks for this and huge shoutout to Ronda for being so open ❤🙏
This interview really humanized her for me. I just love her even more now! Such a beautiful story! Cheers to you both on a great interview! ♥️
How do you get bullied for being muscular? Aren't people usually less likely to bully you if they know you can beat them up?
what an amazing insight this young lady gives us regular people into what it takes to be a world class athlete. it is riveting to witness that even the strongest experiences of pain and suffering did not bring tears to this lovely woman, but deep feelings of gratitude, love and deep human connection does actually bring tears to her eyes.
goodness, kindness and love moves humanity more than cruelty and suffering.
It's so easy to speculate about what's going on in someone's life. Rhonda I appreciate you telling your story. It's great to hear you are happy with where you are right now most importantly. Great interview and I wish you the best in the future.
Yeah well millions of dollars 💸 💵 💲 🤑 💰 makes life easier so I don't really care
Great interview she is so endearing and transparent. The funny thing is my special needs niece has a Ronda doll
That she sleeps with and always calls for Ronda. I really had no idea Ronda in this interview is this legendary women. I sent this podcast to my sister and was so excited to share.
Thank you Rhonda for your openness and honesty. You are the definition of a champion and you have many great things ahead of you.
honesty? still claiming to be the GOAT? and making excuses
This interview is amazing. The persona media has given her made it hard to relate and this episode and hearing this side from her. Its like ahhhh there she is thats the connection, now im even more of a fan!
I've been a fight fan for decades. This was the Ronda Rousey interview I needed. She was super-human, but only because she is so human. Thank you for the big picture. A lot more makes sense now. Plus I'm very happy to hear how wonderful Travis has been. This was great. Wishing you the best in life :)
Love Rhonda and this was such a great interview. Such good questions and how she answers without hesitation and with such honesty prove how amazing she is!
Rhonda Rousey, an absolute gem. May you always find happiness and May happiness always find you. God Bless.
I loved this lady, who I never heard of before. I loved how she honestly and transparently speaks of her vulnerabilities. This is her greatness, one that nobody can take from her, ever
So glad this episode resonated with you! Thank you for sharing ❤️
Shes one of the best female MMA fighters of all time
You must live in a basement if you never heard of her
Some people are just not into watching sports. I never watch any sports. I had heard of her name before, but I didn't know exactly what she was doing or who she was. It has nothing to do about living in a basement though 🤨
@jes6427 She is very very overrated and got outclassed quickly when Women's MMA become much more popular
so good to see the human behind one of the greatest fighters in the octagon... wishing her much love, books and a child of her own...
Great interview! Thank you for sharing Rhonda's story.
Beautiful Interview!! Thank U❤🙏
Ronda never puts on makeup like other women and she’s naturally beautiful
Yes she is
This was beautiful 💖 the raw emotions and realness are something to be admired
I tried judo. first day in at 11, I broke my TOE 😂😂😂. I gave up and went into doing music instead
I met ronda around the time of this interview so date and she was just amazing. So nice, and a kind hearted person.
I am so excited to listen to her experience. ❤
I am literally 3 minutes in and l know I will enjoy the next hour and a half. I’m eager to hear her stpry. And I must say that I LOVE your interview questions and the way you fully connect with your guest. (You do your research and I simply love it). You draw out the real person. And you naturally ask deep questions. It seems effortless and I think it might actually be simply because it is one of your unique gifts and you are truly in your element asking questions and getting info most other interviewers will never get. They never connect the dots far enough to get to the questions that invoke a natural, ask/answer banter where we all get a glimpse of the REAL Rhonda Rousey.
Yahoo!!! ❤
I had no idea how much I didn't know about her respect. Very beautiful, very real, very honest, great interview.
I just became a Rousey fan. Amazing interview, never thought about her personal struggles.
Just subscribed thank you for simply being and all you do for the collective.
Wow, Steven, your presence in this interview felt really good, better, like you are truly listening from a new place, a place within yourself that is more spacious. I really liked this interview. It is very touching, and I felt you allowing more space for her, which is brilliant! She is my hero; such clarity, such strength, such a sweet person. Well done, you two! Aloha, Claire, sending love and prayers for your joy, from The Outer Hebrides: Uig, Isle of Lewis, Scotland.
He's posing great questions.
She definitely did her thing as one of the legends in woman's UFC greats. I remember watching her reign then her getting down after losing her to Holmes and Nunez. Those two are also legends on the same list. She looks happy here and that's good to see. Respect to Rhonda and the great fights she gave us all.
Simp
What a fantastic interview. Thank you for being so brave to share hard parts of your life, Ronda. I have a new appreciation and respect for you. Take care of yourself.
That is a really amazing and insightful interview.
Huge respect for Ronda. Elite athletes need to have a strong internal voice, and I think a lot of her critics have mistaken this for arrogance. Wishing her well ❤️
Me too! It’s easy to judge. I was disappointed as well at the time, but none of us (social media commentators), have been standing into her shoes.
The criticism doesnt even sound genuine on any level. I can criticize her based on parts of this, with well meaning feedback,...but her critics have sounded more sociopathic and haters than well meaning. The core of her sounds like person trying her best at circumstances and that's all people can be whatever outcome.
Make no mistake, she acted overly arrogant in the UFC. No one said there wasnt reasons, but bad behaviour is bad behaviour.
Didn't really like the way she acted in the UFC, but glad she seems to be coming around.
She presented herself in a very likeable manner in this interview.
@@wadopotato33 She was a showman in ufc, and I did not personally enjoy her original ufc run, but that was her push to bring in audience, because they clearly felt she was interesting biography to market and she is. It's like hating Ric Flair for his in ring personality. Asinine to be offended at showmanship.
Even still to this very day she is sitting there saying she is better than all the other women by a long shot. It is sad she can’t show true humility. I was a huge fan of hers and wanted nothing but the best for her. How she handled her loss and her disappointment in seeing that others didn’t see her as the greatest female fighter of all time crush her.
What an amazing interview! Rhonda was so vulnerable and open. Stephen was so gentle and empathetic. He was also able to do more talking than normal to help fill in the gaps, as Rhonda wasn't very talkative in the first half of the interview. What a privilege to listen to this conversation. Thank you!
This podcast is everithing.We need more of this kind of convesations 🙏
Insightful and moving. Great to see her push through so much adversary. I was always a fan of her back when she fought. The fighting goes on I guess, just in a different form.
This woman is making me cry! It resonates with my soul. Blessings to her!
DAMN! I never knew all those things, a tough life to be honest and amazing what she was able to achieve! Happy for her to find her soulmate in a way... Thanks for that interview!
Thank you to the both of you to the wonderful interview!! I love Ronda Rousey and I’ve been a big fan of hers both professionally and personally! I’m happy she opened up in this interview and told us how she’s feeling! I appreciate Ronda’s story! I’m so sorry for your dad and grandads loss! I will pray for them and you Ronda! 💕✝️🥹🙏
And I will pray for you and your husband! May you have a successful marriage and a lot of happy and healthy kids in the future! ❤😊😊✝️💕💕🥹😊
Glad to hear her story, some topic quite tough to hear, but still i feel that's a relieve from her.
Hope you find happiness in your life.
Go Ronda! So inspiring 🌞☀️🌟 and GO Steven and DOAC Team! Amazing interview 💓🧬🪷
What I like about this Chanel is that the CEO allows his guests to be the star of the session.
And his questioning method is a textbook lesson for solving a problem without participating in the process: Simply ask open ended questions, let it rip and come back in with a different question laced as an analytical process of the answer to the last question.
This guy is brilliant. I subscribed today after watching his interview of Dr. Malik which was itself epic.
I want this channel to succeed. It's a blueprint for CZcams sessions for the future.
This and the last interview with Tim Dillon was amazing! Congrats on your channel sir
Just sobbing my way through this interview 💔 Sending love to Ronda ❤
This is by far, the best discussion I've ever heard. But of course, I've always admired Ronda. She is the best . I've always wanted to meet Ronda and hear her story. This was fantastic.
I feel so blessed to have not been burdened with ambition in my life. I met enough famous accomplished people to demystify them and convince me I did not want to live like them. Anonymity is like a superpower as long as you have the resources to pursue what you love. So many successful people seem broken to me and it has me asking which came first. Did success break them or were they successful because they were broken?
"Did success break them or were they successful because they were broken?" That is such a good question! I do think in our society a lot of people are successful because they were broken and trying to prove themselves to others and themselves gave them the motivation to push themselves so hard that they became successful.
Yet, ambition does not require going in the direction of fame
@@musicingflowing Yet, even if fame is not the goal doesn't a degree of recognition and conformation come from ambitious pursuits if one is successful in achieving them ?

Brings to mind a line from Cormac McCarthy’s ‘The Passenger’ -
‘If one has to be unhappy-and one does-then it's better to be admired than pitied. However loath we may be to so encloak ourselves in the first place.’
this interview was easily TOP TEN of all the other DCEO interviews. 🙌🙌
This was a phenomenal interview! WELL DONE!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Bro, do u know how much this channel makes from
us simply subscribing and watching? I hope they refund u ur cash
Holy shit, her transparency about her secret condition, and about being misunderstood when she lost to Holly, is so brave and badass. To be able to bare her soul like this is reinforcement that she is a living champion. Being able to pour her heart out like this is one more win in her record - champions win in and outside of the ring.
Not giving any credit to the fighters who beat her down, but excusing those losses because of mental exhaustion and being susceptible to concussions is the opposite
of being a champion. She even said no one could have ever beaten her if she'd been healthy. That is simply delusional.
@SnoopyReads exactly and this is how easy it is to manipulate ppl Ronda is a expert 😂😂
@@Dakingalbert2 imagine Mike Tyson coming on this show and crying about an addiction to ear lobes costing him his career
@Dakingalbert2 her glasses also...she needed to look smarter and more vulnerable so she got these non prescriptions on lmao the age old female trick ....she has manipulative chicken energy for sure, and any man who knows , knows. She got those vibes.
@@SnoopyReads Accurate
So many comfortable awkward silences in this - incredible
She will always be a star in my eyes and for someone to overcome all the negatives in her life and starting from such a young age, I have 100% respect for her. Great interview!! ❤❤👍👍👍👍
Rhonda is an angel ❤ I think she is an awesome mother & she is an example that nothing is impossible!! RESPECT ❤
Absolutely! 🙏
