What does it take to build a career in combat sports while traveling the world and raising a family?

On this episode of The Travel Wins Podcast, I sit down with Greg Bloom, CEO of Red Owl Boxing, for a conversation about boxing, business, law, international travel, leadership and the family support required to make an unconventional career work.
Greg's journey through combat sports began while he was still in law school.
After helping a professional fighter navigate a contractual dispute, Greg began managing fighters and eventually built a sports agency representing athletes across boxing and MMA.
More than two decades later, he has experienced the fight business from almost every angle—as an attorney, manager, adviser, and executive.
Today, he's bringing that experience to Red Owl Boxing, where he's helping expand a growing boxing brand focused on developing the sport's next generation of fighters.
We discuss Red Owl's philosophy of building reputations instead of simply protecting undefeated records, expanding boxing into new markets, creating better opportunities for developing fighters and the company's ambitious plans for the future.
But this conversation goes beyond boxing.
Greg has spent years traveling throughout the United States and internationally for fights and business while also raising a family.
We talk about the reality of leaving home for another event, another meeting or another country—and how important it has been to have an understanding and supportive wife helping make that career possible.
