Intro


These are just some of the questions I was asked by listener & friend Blake Flow:


Give me a elevator pitch on your life 5 lines grew up, how you got here and what you do now?


Where did you go to college ? Major ? Why ?


What did you want to be when you grow up?


We got you into podcasting?


What drove your interest in combat sports?


What was the transition from San Diego to Sacramento like?


What can BJJ teach you out side of self defense and discipline? Are there any soft skills you think come from it ? Can’t you learn how to lose and get back up from anything not just sports?


Are you still afraid to screw up technique in front of your sensei? What is that like for your students?


What do you do for fun outside of Jitsu?


What can you tell about a person when you fight them?


You get any trolls on any of the podcasts pages or anything ? What kind of trolls ?


What would you do to make adults less intimidated to start BJJ?
