From the French Foreign Legion to Hypnotherapy & What He Learned About the Human Mind with Nick Hughes
I’m very excited to introduce you to my friend, one of my teachers, and an incredibly inspiring human, Nick Hughes . Nick has spent most of his adult life dealing with real-world violence, not the theoretical kind. He served in the French Foreign Legion’s parachute regiment , worked worldwide as a professional bodyguard for Saudi royalty, VIPs, and rock stars , and has taught self-defense and Krav Maga for over 40 years . He’s also a professional boxer, author of How To Be Your Own Bodyguard , and holds black belts in basically every martial art. I actually met Nick when I was 15, when he would come spar us teenagers for our belt tests. At 6’8” and 270 lbs, he was just a little intimidating. Those sessions were about finding the courage to stand toe-to-toe with someone who could absolutely wreck you…not about winning haha. But Nick’s work goes far beyond fighting. In recent years, he has become a hypnotherapist and coach , helping people get “under the hood” of their minds, update the programming they’ve been carrying since childhood, and break through beliefs that may be holding them back. In this conversation, we go deep into the psychology of violence, self-defense, fear, the subconscious mind, personal transformation, and why training the mind and body matters, especially for women. I hope you enjoy this conversation. If you do, liking, commenting, subscribing, and sharing helps more people find the podcast.
