In this episode, Eugene S. Robinson joins Ian and Nique to discuss his multifaceted career as a journalist, author, musician, editor of OZY Media, and MMA Connoisseur. As a child, Eugene was driven by the New York “hustle” culture to pave a path to a better life for himself and his family. From Brooklyn to Stanford University, Eugene’s intellect and zeal propelled him into a plethora of exciting jobs and opportunities. Eugene shares pivotal moments — from starting a snow shoveling business as a young boy to discovering his knack for music and writing at Stanford — that laid the groundwork for his career. Later, Eugene discusses how mastering martial arts prepared him to respond to adversity from a place of strength rather than fear. Watch the full episode to hear Eugene’s advice for “Darryl” and his unorthodox “speed round” answer, where he compares MMA Fighter Jon Jones to Abel in the Old Testament narrative of Cain and Abel.
