[New podcast] What losing taught me about winning 🎙️


Did you catch my latest podcast episode?

In this deep dive, I’m sharing things I’ve never revealed before:

  • What my toughest losses taught me about becoming a champion
  • The mindset shift that turns training “losses” into valuable lessons
  • Why taking risks is essential for growth (and how to overcome your fear of failure)
  • My 48-hour rule for handling defeat and bouncing back stronger
  • How perseverance – not talent – is the true key to success in Jiu-Jitsu… And life!
  • The leadership lessons I’ve learned building Atos (and how to apply them in your academy)
  • Why Jiu-Jitsu is the most powerful tool for human development I've ever found

This isn’t just me chatting to myself.

I’m sharing real lessons from my decades on the mat.
