How Mike Tyson shared fight for veterans at MGM Grand

Prior to retiring from the U.S. Navy in 2016, I witnessed Iron Mike Tyson perform his life story “Undisputed Truth” front row live at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. He shared his brother also served in the Navy during our brief talk. Three years later he founded Tyson Holistic, which is comprised mainly of veterans.

A Mastermind Boxing Mentality

During the spring of 2016 prior to retiring from the Navy I sat in the front row and listened to Mike Tyson share his Undisputed Truth. First-hand emotional testimony from the boxer once considered the baddest man on the planet.

After his show, I was fortunate to chat briefly with this mental health gladiator. After sharing why I was there he shared that his brother also served in the Navy. Reinforcing why Tyson Holistic is comprised mainly of veterans.

At age 54 Tyson nicknamed “Kid Dynamite” early in his career, faces another boxer who also mingles among veterans. Roy Jones, a Pensacola, FL native whom I had the pleasure of watching and playing basketball first hand with on Naval Air Station Pensacola during 2011.

Three years later after our chat, Iron Mike’s experienced footwork lead him to the cannabis industry. Tyson Ranch is all about going the extra step to offer truly great cannabis. Did I mention it's comprised mainly of veterans?

Tyson Ranch is a licensing & branding company founded by Mike Tyson. Consistency and quality are at the core of our company with the mission to make cannabis universally understood.

Something About Planet 13

Back in June, I shared with you my first-hand Vlog of Planet 13. The largest medical cannabis dispensary in the world. While there I noticed a Tyson Ranch strain called Miami Heat.

One thing for sure is both of our beards grew grayer and longer since we initially met at the MGM Grand that night. A moment I will cherish forever. Primarily because of his first-hand testimony. A haymaker to the mental health stigma that men can’t ask for help. Which also hampers veterans.

I'm proud to have met both The Baddest Man on the Planet and his competitor Captain Hook who both enter the ring to defy the odds and their haters this weekend. Both over the age of 50, and it’s clear age ain't nothing but a number.

During June 2020 I take you on a pandemic N95 first-hand vlog of Planet 13 where I noticed Tyson Ranch’s strain Miami Heat. In addition, both Tyson and I love Tupac Shakur. This also led me to produce this short video called “Tupac Back” during my stay at MGM Grand.
