  • Men constantly swing for the fence, trying to get the results without putting in the work.

My guest today is none other than Rickson Gracie, the son of Helio Gracie (the man who developed Brazilin Jiu-Jitsu). Rickson is a 9th degree red belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a mixed martial artist.

 

He was widely considered to be the best fighter of the Gracie clan and one of the toughest individuals in the world. He’s been training since he was six, received his black belt by 18, and subsequently went on to be undefeated in his professional fight career.

 

He is also the author of his upcoming book, Breathe: A Life in Flow, the subject of the documentary, Choke, and the upcoming Netflix Documentary called Dead or Alive.

 

Needless to say, this man knows as much about Jiu-Jitsu (if not more than) as any other as any other man on the planet and I’m honored to have him here today.

If you turn on the news or any social media apps, you’re likely to be met with a myriad of fantastic headlines, the latest political scandal, racial tensions, violence, or any number of issues these outlets use to get our attention. Of course, most of this is exaggerated to get us worked up without providing any real solutions to some of the issues that actually exist.

My guest today, Suresh Madhaven, and I begin to break down some of these issues and work towards unpacking and discussing solutions rather than focus on the outrage that is used against us. We talk about the importance of men’s rites of passages, breaking down the concept of systemic racism, crying wolf on the real issues, movements against masculinity, and the role of men in a fatherless society.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

  • A boy’s coming-of-age
  • Defining systemic racism
  • The term “white privilege”
  • The real victims of racism
  • The greatest lie being told
  • The lack of police training
  • Steps to avoid the police
  • Framework to live your life
