In this Episode of Abundant behavior, I had the amazing opportunity to sit down with armature muay thai figher, Ramier Freeman. In this episode we discussed some struggles he dealt with in his child hood, his time being incarcerated, and how muay thai saved his life. Ramier says the birth of his son gave him the motivation he needed, to be the man he is today. The main reason his aggression turned is because God gave him a second chance. We discussed childhood traumas, and how being exposed to the wrong things at an early age will have long lasting effects.
