Tyson launched a podcast named <em>Hotboxin\u2019 with Mike Tyson <\/em>in 2019 where he sits down with guest celebrities to smoke and the about life. The podcast has featured a wide range of guests from Wiz Khalifa to Jimmy Kimmel. Recently, the famed boxer sat down with Saquon Barkley, the running back for the New York Giants.<\/p>\n<p>Amidst their conversations focusing on football and careers in sports, the athletes landed on the topic of enlightenment. While Tyson appears to be pretty tough on the outside, he reveals that he is somewhat in touch with his spiritual side, he states \u201cI pretty much die when I meditate.

Saquon Barkley explains that while he hasn\u2019t practiced meditation in the traditional sense, he knows of teammates that do it and would be open to trying it. He explains, \u201cI\u2019m always trying to find any way to gain an advantage on opponents\u201d. Meditation certainly seems to be an unexpected but effective way for overworked athletes to completely rid their minds of daily stresses. Mike\u2019s cohost, Jeremy Piven chimes in explaining that meditation doesn\u2019t have to be a hard-to-approach topic of discussion. Piven says, \u201cIt\u2019s just taking 15 minutes every morning and quieting your thought and focusing on your breath. And you can do all those things, because the discipline you\u2019ve had to have to get to the point where you\u2019re at, just to sit and be present with yourself, and then you\u2019re working on a higher vibration.\u201d This approach to meditation definitely makes the practice seem more approachable.<\/p>\n<p>Tyson, who has seen a lot throughout his boxing career also offers Barkley some advice on forgiveness that has been circulating the internet. \u201cYou think you\u2019re great now? Watch how great you\u2019re gonna be when you learn compassion and empathy. When I was you, I wanted to be a savage, I was a savage, no doubt about it. \u00a0I wanted everyone to be afraid of me, now I want everybody to love me\u2026 there\u2019s nothing in the world someone can do to you that you can\u2019t forgive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The peaceful chat went on for about an hour, offering a lot of insight into Tyson\u2019s laidback approach to life. If you want to learn more about the professional boxer and his long roster of enticing podcast guests, you can stream or listen to his podcast on YouTube and Spotify.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Tyson may be pretty tough on the outside, his podcast reveals a softer and more forgiving side, &#8220;Iron Mike.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":238,"featured_media":650967,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1401,947],"tags":[15480,1705,2585,15479,2579,15476,14313,5389,15481,15478,10520,15477],"class_list":["post-650965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity","category-news","tag-boxer","tag-boxing","tag-enlightenment","tag-giants","tag-meditation","tag-mike-tyson","tag-nfl","tag-podcast","tag-podcaster","tag-saquon-barkley","tag-spirituality","tag-tyson","market-los-angeles","market-newyork"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
