In this unforgettable episode of the Forged in the Fires Podcast with Fireman Rob, we welcome Cam F. Awesome—keynote speaker, stand-up comic, 3x Olympic Trials champ, entrepreneur, and one of the most decorated amateur boxers in U.S. history. Cam’s journey from a bullied, anxious kid with a $30 MP3 player to Team USA captain is as hilarious as it is inspiring.

Cam dives into the highs and lows of his career—from being kicked off the 2012 Olympic team due to a paperwork issue, to coming back stronger and winning Nationals three years in a row. With raw honesty and humor, he shares how that setback helped him rewire his mindset, redefine his identity, and ultimately choose a new path that goes far beyond the ring.

Now a full-time speaker and founder of Comics in the Courtyard, Cam uses storytelling and laughter to challenge the way we think about self-talk, resilience, and bouncing back. This episode is real, unfiltered, and packed with energy—and just like Cam, it’s unapologetically awesome.
