Grandmaster Chess

What's up guys!? In this podcast episode I go over, WCC4, the schedule/logic, A pretty good Chicago Open, and then how amazing my students are playing right now! To wrap it up, we talk about the NBA Finals, Magnus vs. Gukesh, and what really scares us? Why are we afraid, because we don't know.

I hope I didn't jinx it by posting this video with one day left as 27. Gotta be extra careful not to die today, cause boy do I believe in jinxes... In this episode me and Olu talk about getting older and growing up. Not necessarily good or bad, and honestly more good than bad. On top of that we breakdown UFC 275 in Singapore. Capped by Light Heavy Weight Champ Glover Texeira with the GWOAT Valentina as the co-main. Maybe not the best PPV but def some great fights. We end the episode with some interesting questions like how do pros get better, what I know I'm going to cut out once I'm 28, and one of my big problems in life.

A huge past weekend for UFC and Boxing! I didn't know Canelo could lose, I didn't know if a champion misses weight he gets stripped of their title, and I definitely didn't know Tony Ferguson could get knocked out! Overall a really fun card this past weekend. Me and Olu break it down as well as throw in some of our own conspiracy theories! On top of the UFC we talk about getting back into Jiu Jitsu and the mental side of becoming a champion.

Wassup guys?! This is my first episode doing solo dolo. Olu was busy this week, but I couldn't not talk about such a great fight card this weekend. On top of that, I go through Chess/JiuJitsu/Boxing/Stand Up the past two weeks. Big thing that I saw is after a good week I take my foot off the gas and I pay the price. After a bad week I hit it hard, and I see some results. Just like chess I gotta recognize these patterns, learn, and not make the same mistakes again. All things considered it was really fun talking to myself for an hour, going through all the good, bad, and lessons to be learned. If ya'll ever want to ask me any questions or anything DM me at Daaron.3 on Insta. All things considered a super super fun and interesting podcast, hope your entertained!!

A couple months ago me and one of my favorite homies Gunnar did a great podcast. I even thought I tested the audio. After the podcast, I realized there was no audio.... This is the remix of the lost episode! My big takeaway from this podcast is don't worry about the future, don't worry about the past, and don't worry about a loss. Do it for the love of the game and you'll get to where you're trying to go. Worry about where you're trying to go next once you get to where you were trying to go first.
