EP 141 Chatri Sityodtong | ONE Championship CEO

Welcome to episode 141, today, we are excited to have Chatri
Sityodtong, the founder, chairman, and CEO of ONE Championship,
Asia's largest sports media property. 


ONE ranked #2 overall in 2021 digital viewership with
over 13.8 billion video views across Facebook, Instagram,
YouTube, and TikTok. It sits just behind the #1-ranked NBA, which
boasts over 14.5 billion for 2021. The UFC is #5, with 6.6
billion.


Chatri has over 35 years of martial arts experience as a student,
fighter, teacher, and coach. He is a certified senior Muay Thai
instructor under Kru Yodtong Senanan. I apologize if I'm not
pronouncing it correctly. He also holds a brown belt in Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu under Master Renzo Gracie.


For Chatri, the biggest misconception about martial arts is that
it's about fighting. He believes that the true essence of martial
arts is the journey of continuous self-improvement mentally,
physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Through martial arts,
Chatri inherited integrity, humility, honor, respect, courage,
discipline, and more. Above all, it empowered him with an
unbreakable warrior spirit to conquer adversity in life.


Born in Thailand, his rags-to-riches life story has inspired
millions worldwide on BBC, CNN, Financial Times, Bloomberg, and
other media. At his lowest point, he survived on $4 per day in
the United States. His only suitcase contained everything he
owned, and he lived on one meal daily. Yet, he didn't grow up in
poverty as a child in Thailand. Instead, Chatri grew up in a
loving, well-to-do home. Life only changed when his parents lost
everything in the Asian Financial Crisis. Poverty ripped his
family apart. And his father abandoned the family, leaving Chatri
to pick up the pieces as the oldest son.


Chatri is a philanthropist, a motivational speaker, and a serial
entrepreneur who has founded, invested in, or served as CEO of
several successful companies, including ONE Championship and
Evolve MMA. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA
from Tufts University.


In this episode, Chatri will share his insights on martial arts,
entrepreneurship, philanthropy, the challenges and rewards of
building a global sports media brand, and much more.


So, get ready to learn from one of the most influential and
inspiring figures in martial arts and business right after
jiu-jitsu tribe's message. OSS!
