Hi. I'm Davis Miller, host of the new podcast The Tao of Muhammad Ali. Ali has saved my life time and time again. I first met Ali almost by chance on Easter weekend nineteen eighty eight. I knocked on the door to his RV, which was parked in front of his mom's house in Louisville, Kentucky. To my great surprise, he didn't just answer the door, he invited me in. It was the beginning of a decade long friendship, and over the years his influence profoundly changed my perspective on family, spirituality, and on the purpose of life itself. I'll tell you that story, and we'll hear the stories of other people touched by the champ will speak to people such as Reverend Al Sharpton.
