Tyson was recently a guest on the IRL Podcast hosted by Angie Martinez. In conversation, Martinez mentioned that Tyson has been honest about being ‘flawed’. Tyson responded by mentioning that humans are a lot more transparent than they think they are.
Martinez then asked Tyson if, as a boxer, he became good at reading people. In response, Tyson said, “You don’t even have to be a fighter. You could be a 200-pound lawyer. He’s tough, sizing you up, looking at you, watching the way you talk. Listen, looking for you weaknesses and flaws.”
