Doctors Gave Him a 30% Chance… Now, He’s Rebuilding His Life in Thailand.

At 19 years old, Andrew Davies was diagnosed with pancreatitis in South Africa. And given just a 30% chance of survival. He made it through, but that was just the beginning.

Growing up in a turbulent home, Andrew learned to adapt quickly. He sold everything, moved across the world, and took huge risks. Some paid off, and others left him with nothing.

From coffee shops in Brisbane and bars in Lisbon to content production in Thailand. Andrew is not short of entrepreneurial spirit and resilience. Despite life’s huge setbacks, he’s routinely picked himself up.

Intro

From Brisbane to Phuket, from life support to fight night, today’s guest has lived a life that reads like a blockbuster script. After a rough start, he was raised by his grandparents and overcame adversity.

He’s gone from battling personal demons to building a life in Thailand, where he now runs a production company, leads Apollo Gym Thailand’s social media, and promotes some of the biggest fight nights in the region.

After nearly losing his life to pancreatitis at 19, Andrew Davies made resilience his trademark. He’s faced loss, setbacks, and brutal reality checks, but he’s come back swinging every time. From hustling his way into Muay Thai stadiums with nothing but a camera and a drive to prove himself to now being the matchmaker behind some of Thailand’s most exciting combat sports events, Andrew has built an empire in the making.

He’s here to talk about finding his fight, rebuilding from rock bottom, and what it takes to create a dream life on your own terms.
