Next Episode: #41 - Amir Kazemi

We revisit the white belt panel concept with Jeremy Oestrich and Ashwin Arab, two white belts from coach & host Gibran Maciel's academy East Sac BJJ. We talk balancing BJJ with other aspects of life like professional and social obligations, getting started at the age of 44, and next steps to improve.

Also just generally shooting the shit with two of my favorite people.
