Joe Buckner

Hello everyone and welcome back to the show. Special thanks to all the brave men and women who work in the criminal justice field. Thank you all for your service and dedication.

In this episode, Patrick welcomes Joe Buckner.

Joe is the Founder and Visionary of Fort Collins’ only boutique boxing studio, Beautifully Savage: The Art of Pugilism.

Born and raised in Fort Collins, Colorado, Joe has a passion for the community and helping others to reach their goals and dreams. Joe spent his youth as a multi-sport athlete and later went on to play college football. After a series of unfortunate events though, life took an unexpected turn for Joe and led to a season of homelessness.

Determined to fight for a better life, he became more motivated than ever to salvage his dreams and overcome even when defeat seemed imminent.

Over time and with a lot of hard work, he paved his way to becoming a successful businessman and now entrepreneur. The many obstacles Joe had to overcome and his persistence in the face of failure birthed a deeply rooted passion to help others fight for their own dream – specifically through boxing.

Now, with twenty-four years of sales experience, Joe is on a mission to teach others how to fight their own internal battles through self-reflection, dedication, and persistence. Joe has founded Beautifully Savage boxing gym.

By teaching other’s the art of boxing and motivating the community through fitness, Joe is creating a space for others to fight for their lives and overcome barriers. Declaring that “Fighting Solves Everything,” Joe believes each person only needs to unleash their inner fighter to attain the life they have always dreamed of. Joe has dedicated his life to helping people reach their full potential through the sport of boxing as well as in his motivational speaking career. Joe was a featured speaker at TedX Arena Circle in September 2016.
