68: The Most Dangerous Man You’ll Ever Meet... And The Most Disciplined
Share
Haze “The Huntsman” Hepi makes his living in a world where toughness is impossible to fake. A Māori bare-knuckle fighter, boxer, coach and father, Haze has built his life around discipline, but the experiences behind that discipline tell a much deeper story.
In this episode, Haze sits down with us for an honest conversation about his past, the influences that shaped him and the shadows he has had to confront along the way. He reflects on violence, identity, Māori culture and his evolution as a man and father, while explaining the difference between uncontrolled aggression and strength with direction.
We also explore the responsibility that comes with coaching young boys, what combat sport has taught him about purpose and why becoming stronger is about more than learning how to fight.
This is not simply a conversation about bare-knuckle boxing. It is a raw look at the man behind “The Huntsman” and what can happen when toughness is matched with honesty, self-awareness and a willingness to reflect.
