Do you have any questions, any comments about the episode? Jimanekia would love to hear from you!

Ever wondered how a passion for football and pro wrestling can shape a person’s life and career? In this episode, we sit down with Sean Ross Sapp, part-owner of Fightful and a die-hard Cincinnati Bengals season ticket holder. Sean reflects on his journey from humble beginnings in a trailer to becoming a prominent figure in wrestling journalism. We explore his deep-rooted love for Kentucky, the impact of loss and trauma, and how these experiences have molded his resilient character.
Navigating the tumultuous waters of online harassment, Sean and I share our battles with trolls and stalkers, revealing the emotional toll and the strategies we've employed to maintain our sanity. From receiving invaluable advice from the late Bray Wyatt to experiencing a bizarre turn of events with a persistent harasser, we delve into the significance of maintaining perspective amidst negativity. This chapter serves as a candid eye-opener to the harsh realities of living life in the public eye.
Our conversation takes a heartfelt turn as we discuss the profound impact of losing loved ones and the emotional rollercoaster that follows. Whether it's the grief of losing a grandparent or the absurdity of social media drama, we highlight the importance of resilience, community support, and finding solace in small connections. Join us as we wrap up with exciting future plans, travel anecdotes, and the joys and challenges of balancing a hectic career with personal aspirations, all while leading a thriving enterprise in the niche world of pro wrestling and MMA journalism.

Thank you all for listening. Set a boundary with yourself this week, set a boundary with someone else. If someone else does not respect that boundary. LET THEM LOOSE YOU! Stay hydrated internally and externally. We do not have an ashy family.
