And to take up the sport of boxing because it helped save my life. You know, I didn\u2019t know who I was, I didn\u2019t have purpose in LA, I felt lost, and boxing got me on the straight and narrow.\u201d Jake explained that he didn\u2019t have anyone \u201cknock on [his] door and inspire [him]\u201d to accomplish anything, so he wants to knock on doors and tell kids that there\u2019s more out there in the world than college and a 9 to 5 job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
