Then versus Now

Old School vs Modern Workers: A Comparative Analysis

In this episode, we dive deep into a thought-provoking comparison between past and present icons in sports and various industries.

We explore how Muhammad Ali, Bobby Moore, Jesse Owens, and Mark Spitz would fare against today's giants like Lennox Lewis, Cristiano Ronaldo, Usain Bolt, and Michael Phelps.

The discussion then turns to a vivid comparison between 1970s construction workers and their 2025 counterparts, examining their work practices, physical demands, nutrition, and the impact of modern safety regulations.

It's a reflection on whether we have gained more in efficiency and safety at the cost of raw strength and self-reliance.
