#040: Bruno | The Life-Changing Magic of Jiu-Jitsu, Habits, and Mewing (WHAT'S THAT?) 15.01.2023

Yup, the title says it all.  Bruno's the kind of person you want to keep around for a long time. Just the way he dealt with me totally missing our first meeting said a lot about him (you’ll hear it in the beginning). Anyway, we geeked out on all things Jiu-Jitsu, habits and self-improvement, and Bruno's secret obsession with your teeth and face structure. Okay, maybe not YOURS. But it could be.  B...

#037: Taylor | Doing things for their own sake 19.12.2022

Ya'll... I lost the first half of the audio. BUT this is still a fantastic conversation with Taylor!

Sorry about the audio quality. I promise the content is worth it :)  If you loved and want to support the podcast, I...
