Rising Stars: Meet Brian Minto of Pennsylvania

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brian Minto.

Hi Brian, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was a drop out at SRU because of my drinking. So I left school an got a job as a cable TV lineman. I was 250lbs fat an out of shape. So I started boxing to lose weight. Then I started amateur boxing. An I made it to the regional Golden glove final an lost. After the fight a few weeks later a promoter offered my a pro fight on his card. An I said yes because it was Xmas an we needed money for out gifts to out children. An God had a purpose for me!! An i became a world class fighter.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
No, every road i went down i had to have strong faith an perseverance

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I was a professional prize fighter, none for being a tough an rugged fighter. Iam now a personal trainer an boxing coach. I help people who are broken souls an I love to tell them my testimony.

What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
Be compassionate and build people up don’t beat them down with the most powerful weapon we have in our mouth is our tongue
