Episode Combat Sports Taught Me To Never Fear the Loudest Person in the Room | Armz Korleone 187
Armz is a British-Ghanaian bodybuilder, combat sports athlete and social media personality who rose to prominence through his fitness content and motivational message. Known for his imposing physique and unapologetic honesty, he’s built a career spanning bodybuilding, influencer boxing, music, and online content while openly discussing the triumphs, setbacks, and controversies that have shaped his life.
Armz spent some time in Saudi Arabia, where he worked with the local fitness community, coaching aspiring bodybuilders and immersing himself in the Kingdom’s rapidly growing health and fitness scene.
On this episode, we explore what it was really like growing up on the streets of London, the discipline it took to avoid the traps that surrounded him, and the mindset that helped him forge a different path. We also discuss his rise to fame, the highs and lows of living life in the public eye, the lessons he’s learned from failure and adversity, and why resilience has become the defining characteristic of his journey.
This is a conversation about hardship, accountability, reinvention, and what it truly takes to build yourself both physically and mentally.
