The Bat-Phone Podcast Nick Hughes

In this episode we bring in the Superfight crew of Daniel Muenchow, Jackie Hughes, Dylan Voncina and myself, Nick Hughes, and dive in to all of the recent matchups and events from the past few months and how we got to this point. From all the way back at Battleground, though Pan Pacific Championships, Samurai Fight Series, Fusion Fighting Championships Volume 5 and the Inagural Fusion Fighting Championships South Australia, we dive in to detail about the preparation, mindset, execution, process upgrades and each individual perspective on what it takes to step in to the superfight arena. We also give some big shout outs to the rising stars of the scene, give some advice regarding sponsorships and local competition, share some views on how to make exciting and constructive events come to life in the future and what the plans are for the rest of the year for all of us.

This is possibly the most important podcast episode I have ever recorded. In this episode, Shaun bravely recounts his story from early childhood, though to the sudden event that took his sight, and the epic journey he has been on ever since.
Shaun has stepped in to the world of combat sports in an effort to pave the way and live outside of his comfort zone. He recently competed in his first ever Grappling competition, being the first blind South Australian Athlete ever to do so. But more importantly that that outstanding achievemnt, the way that Shaun has re aligned his body and spirit and the every day process that he goes through will no doubt inspire you to upgrade your own existence for the better. Disclaimer; the themes in this episode are of a serious nature, dealing with severe trauma and mental health distress. With that being said, the insight, the story, and the lessons we can learn from this human being, are immeasurable in their importance. Shaun is living proof that we can all do anything we put our minds to, and we can all.make a difference.
