From World Champion Kickboxer to Prison to Business Icon: Ted Pryor’s Unbelievable Journey of Redemption

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Ted Pryor. Ted has had one heck of a Misfit Entrepreneur journey. From 1982 to 1987, Ted was the middleweight kickboxing champion of the world. But behind the scenes, he was a key player in the biggest marijuana trafficking operation in American history. After a stint in prison, he re-emerged and became wildly successful in business, eventually founding Children of America, a company dedicated to providing high-quality childcare and education with more than 60 locations across 15 states. In addition to that, Ted is an actor, producer, and just released his latest books, Three-Time World Champ: The Death-Defying True Story of a Kickboxer Turned Drug Smuggler . . . Turned Business Icon. I excited for Ted to share his story and lessons learned from his entrepreneur journey. tedpryor.com/ Show Sponsors: Entrepreneurs, what if there was a way to know you were hiring the best salespeople to drive your business?
