Tiago is a seven time world champion Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, an absolute savage on the mat, but one of the most calm and sweet men I have ever met. He has dedicated his life to jiu-jitsu and after 24 years, he is beginning to really reap the benefits of pursuing his passion. He is a blessing for us to have when sharing his jiu-jitsu, but more importantly, a good role model for how to behave better as humans.

I'll list his recent championships below, but his jiu-jitsu does not define him. Felipe is a teammate of ours at Six Blades Jiu-Jitsu and an amazingly humble young man living his dream becoming one of the best jiu-jitsu athletes in the world! His passion for jiu-jitsu is evident throughout the conversation and his dedication to his team is obvious as he speaks about the recent success of one of his teammates and closest friends.

Chandler is a teammate of ours at Team Marra of Six Blades Jiu-Jitsu in Ft. Worth, TX who epitomizes our motto of having a "Light Vibe" and "Heavy Jiu-Jitsu!" He's a passionate father, husband, and businessman who makes us all better in every facet of our lives. We hope you enjoy the conversation! 

Bryan and I met as neighbors about five years ago. He eventually came to Six Blades Jiu-Jitsu in Ft. Worth and has been training with us full time since. He is a married male nurse, involved and contributing member of our community, and an all around good guy!

Aly & Casey Pearson are the first two students at Team Marra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and we chatted about that, parenthood, and just life in general.

Ford is a Father, First Degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt at Six Blades Fort Worth, American Hero, and all around Badass! We covered a bit on each of these topics and hope you enjoy the conversation.

Luciana is the co-owner of Six Blades Jiu-Jitsu Fort Worth where she is often referred to by her husband and Head Instructor as, "The Boss." Although her husband has been a jiu-jitsu black belt for their entire marriage, Luciana just began training in 2019 after the dynamic duo opened their first jiu-jitsu school in Fort Worth, TX. Her journey on and around the mat is quite interesting and it is only fitting for her to be our first guest of our "Follow The Plan" series.

We took quite the break, but we have not given up! We really enjoy doing this and are looking forward to getting back after it as we have a ton of guests lined up! We hope you still enjoy listening and if so, please share this with everyone you know!

I had the opportunity to sit down with four missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Of Latter-Day Saints and to ask them some of the questions many of us are curious about. The ladies were all extremely open to any questions and the conversation went very well. They were able to dispel a few stereotypes and share their beliefs and thoughts about religion from their perspective. 

No, we do not follow nor am I or Nicole members of the Church, but these are the types of conversations that we believe are important for people to hear from folks of all walks of life.

Aida is the first Latina to appear in two specials airing in one month on both HBO and Showtime. Her list of appearances and shows is already enormous and it has now recently been topped off with a good dose of Netflix where she does her thing on Tiffany Haddish's, "They Ready!"

Tom is the Co-Founder of Sweethearts and Heroes where he uses his superpowers as a motivational speaker to educate society about the impact bullying has on all of our schools, neighborhoods, and individuals. Tom is also a retired professional mixed martial artist, on top of being an entrepreneur, public leader, a fantastic father of four, and most importantly a husband to his beautiful wife. 

We finally get another chance to sit down together and chat a bit. We "Summit" all up about what Nicole does other than being a hardcore stay at home mom and how much she enjoys helping other women, especially when it comes to "Starting & Finishing." Please help us in spreading the podcast with everyone you know as our intentions are to truly help as many people as we can. Let us know what you think of the show so far and we hope you enjoy the listen!

Orlando has decided it's time for a good cleanse. The assumption is others have thought of this catchy name by now as well, but for us, the thought was original. He's cutting all that is "junk" from his diet for the entire month of July. Join him for the journey or just tag along for the ride to hear how it goes.
