Podcasts about Black Belt

r/BJJ is basically the Mean Girls of Jiu-Jitsu. It's petty. It's chaotic. It's ruled by digital “mean girls” with four stripes and zero rolls. But today, I(@thejoshmckinney) am Lindsay Lohan — and I'm infiltrating the plastics. Let's see what happens when a friendly black belt infiltrates Jiu-Jitsu's Meanest Community.In this episode, I go toe-to-toe with posts from r/BJJ — some thoughtful, some ridiculous, and some that made me question if the mats are giving people brain damage. From “Do I really have to learn guard?” to “I faked being unconscious to escape a guillotine,” we're breaking down the internet's hottest takes, dumbest questions, and most overconfident white belt energy.It's Black Belt vs. Reddit BJJ.There is only ONE RULE — No Facts or Logic Allowed.Jiu-Jitsu for Imbeciles (FREE)  BJJ Mental Models Kicksite FREE 30 Day TrialDatsusara 10% OFF with Promo Code “ISUCK”Master ANY Position in 6 WeeksJoin ⁠ISAJJ PRO (ALL of Josh's Courses in One Place)Join the Gi GazetteFollow the show on⁠ Instagram⁠⁠Check out the ISAJJ Youtube Channel⁠

Could the same discipline that earns you a black belt also transform how you lead yourself and others? In this episode of It's a Mindset, I'm joined by Karen Gately, best-selling author, Sensei, and Founder of the Corporate Dojo, to explore what it means to become a Black Belt Leader of yourself and others. Drawing on her martial arts training, Karen shares how discipline has shaped her leadership style and approach to business. She opens up about overcoming childhood trauma, why it's never your shame to carry, and how setting strong boundaries helped her recover from people pleasing. We also discuss her mission to lift the collective emotional intelligence — and why this is the foundation of great leadership. I loved how Karen blends discipline, compassion, and life experience into practical wisdom you can apply today. This episode is full of insights that will stay with you long after listening. Key Episode Takeaways: How martial arts has influenced Karen's way of doing business from a discipline perspective. Why trauma experienced during childhood is not your shame. How Karen recovered from people pleasing by developing strong boundaries. Karen's mission to lift the collective emotional intelligence.

In this podcast, I share the first two sections of a course I'm creating for Lean Six Sigma Ecosystem called "Nonparametric Statistics"Nonparametrics are an alternative way of analyzing data, but instead of using means and standard deviations traditionally taught in Green Belt and Black Belt classes, it uses median and quartiles or percentiles. The calculations are simpler, and there are often less assumptions required (like requiring data to fit a normal distribution).If you sign up for a free account on Lean Six Sigma Ecosystem⁠, you'll be notified when the full course is ready.Learn more about BPI7 Continuous Improvement Best Practices: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mail.biz-pi.com/lss-best-practices-funnel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need help in your organization, or want to discuss your current work situation?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Let's talk!

201: Riley Stearns Doesn't Hate DogsRiley Stearns is an American Filmmaker based in Los Angeles. His film balance on the edge of real and surreal, often focusing upon darker characteristics of the teacher – student relationship. Riley has written and directed Faults (2014), Dual (2022) and his most noted feature The Art of Self Defense (2019) starring Jesse Eisenberg. Riley is a long-time martial artist himself who holds a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Our interview with Riley begins with a pivotal fight from The Art of Self Defense and continues to explore why artists might gravitate to martial arts, work life balance and similarities between directing and training martial arts.Riley's IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2720681/?ref_=ext_shr_lnkRiley's Instagram: http://instagram.com/rileystearnsMENTIONSArt of Self Defense Official Trailer: https://youtu.be/7Bms6Hba-3A?si=kLHDP7rwory_g7LkArt of Self Defense Anna's Fight: https://youtu.be/R5agksmV0sQ?si=mYmN7Tfy0fSR3ZWI Art of Self Defense Elbow Break Scene: https://youtu.be/7Bms6Hba-3A?si=kLHDP7rwory_g7LkArt of Self Defense Final Fight Scene: https://youtu.be/Syj6a0Qp420?si=aMgAGKg6jUW0EKs0Faults Trailer: https://youtu.be/pnnbhJSX75U?si=3ewa2Rghy4dM2S6I Dual Trailer: https://youtu.be/CpZkNQ0E4YI?si=lhphD_yRbwJMi2u3The Vince Staples Show: https://www.netflix.com/title/81264943 Bobby Joe Blythe assault on homeless man: https://youtu.be/UDk963JkVkE?si=J8wbLIOoX0b-odcITAMMFF Film Freeway: https://filmfreeway.com/TAMMFFLimited Edition Collectables: https://instagram.com/limited_edition_collectablesTrain with Hector Santana in Los Angeles: https://www.taojiujitsu.com/ FILM FIGHTS WITH FRIENDSDo you listen to our show as an audio podcast?

Are modern men slowly losing their grip on what it means to truly lead?You're working hard. You're showing up. You're providing. But still—your marriage feels off. You're getting blindsided by disconnection, resentment, or even divorce. You're trying to be a good man, yet nothing seems to be enough. Why is it that despite doing “everything right,” so many men are silently failing in the one place that matters most—at home?In this powerful conversation, we dive deep with Quentin Hafner, therapist, author of Black Belt Husband, and coach to high-performing men. What makes Quentin different? He's not your typical therapist—he's a former corporate climber who hit rock bottom after a divorce, did the inner work, and made it his life's mission to help other men heal, lead, and thrive. And he's brutally honest about what's wrong with traditional therapy and how it can actually keep men stuck.Quotes:"My mission field is to really serve men in that capacity, help men heal so they can be highly effective in their families."- Quentin Hafner"There's a time to sit in that pain, not to wallow in it and be miserable, but to be self-reflective and contemplative. - Quentin Hafner"When you trust yourself, other people trust you more too." - Matt BeaudreauKey Takeaways:Most “marriage problems” are personal problems in disguise.According to Quentin, couples often don't have relationship issues—they have individual wounds and unresolved trauma showing up in the marriage.70% of divorces are initiated by women.The most common reason? A deep emotional pain: “I didn't feel like I mattered.” Men often don't realize their wives are emotionally disconnecting until it's too late.Men underestimate the power of emotional safety.Many men believe being a good provider and father is enough. But their wives are craving emotional connection—not just physical security.Passivity is killing modern marriages.High-performing men often become passive or conflict-avoidant in their relationships, fearing they'll come off as controlling. Quentin calls this “fear-based passivity,” and it erodes trust and respect.Conclusion:This episode is a powerful wake-up call for any man who wants to lead—not just at work, but where it matters most: at home. Quentin Hafner doesn't sugarcoat the truth—he reveals how being a passive, well-intentioned husband can still lead to emotional disconnection and even divorce.But there's hope.Leadership in marriage isn't about being dominant or controlling—it's about creating emotional safety, setting the tone, and becoming the kind of man your wife and children naturally trust and follow. Quentin reminds us that real strength isn't found in aggression or avoidance—it's found in presence, purpose, and self-awareness.If you're ready to stop reacting and start leading—with clarity, confidence, and connection—this conversation is your blueprint.Because becoming a Black Belt Husband isn't about perfection. It's about transformation.And it starts with you.Call to Action:Ready to step into your role as a strong, emotionally safe, and purpose-driven leader in your home?

What if the edge you're searching for isn't outside of you—but already within? I sit down with Gina Tucci-Karnisovas—mental strength coach and former competitive athlete—to explore the often-overlooked drivers of sustainable performance: breath, presence, visualization, and grounded confidence. Gina shares how embracing both “white belt curiosity” and “black belt strength” helped her navigate intense performance anxiety and how that mindset now shapes her work with elite athletes and high performers. We get into what real confidence looks like, how to stay calm under pressure, and why mental fitness is just as essential as physical training—if not more.   Show Notes 00:00 – The “white belt” mindset: humility, curiosity, and reverence 03:00 – Martial arts, Stoicism, and her evolution into sports psychology 06:00 – Her mom's legacy: breath, Pac-Man visualization, and mental resilience 10:00 – From performance anxiety to mental strength coaching 12:00 – Discovering breathwork and yoga as transformation tools 18:00 – Why elite athletes still struggle with confidence 20:00 – Breaking down grounded vs. naive confidence 24:00 – How to build confidence through evidence and habit stacking 28:00 – Why mental fitness in sports must come from the top down 32:00 – The stigma around vulnerability in pro sports 36:00 – Gina's AM/PM bookend routines for mental clarity 40:00 – Mental nutrition: What's feeding your mind? 45:00 – Reframing negative self-talk and the reps of daily life   **** Release details for the NEW BOOK.   Get your copy of Personal Socrates: Better Questions, Better Life   Connect with Marc >>>  Website | LinkedIn | Instagram |   Drop a review and let me know what resonates with you about the show!

On this episode, guest host Torrie O'neil-Strong sits down with 2 stripe black belt, Caitlin Murdock. She earned her black belt under Eduardo de Lima, direct student under Carlos Gracie Jr. and started training under de Lima with my dad when I was 12. 25 years later, “I'm an active competitor in the adult division under Pedigo Submission Fighting. My husband and I moved to the PSF HQ over three years ago. Since then, I've placed third in adult no-gi worlds in 2023 and second in 2024. I have achieved my second championship at Pans under master one, once in 2019 and another in 2023. I would describe my grappling style as classic and very pressure-oriented. My future goals include winning gold at no-gi worlds this year, as well as winning trials in the years to come. The ultimate goal though---bringing more little girls and women into the sport and providing a female mentor to upcoming athletes.”Learn more about Girls in Gis:Homepage: https://www.girls-in-gis.comEvents: https://www.girls-in-gis.com/events/Shop: http://www.girls-in-gis.com/shop/Donate: http://www.girls-in-gis.com/donate/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/GirlsinGisFacebook Official: https://www.facebook.com/GirlsinGisTwitter: @_girls_in_gis_Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsingis/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/girlsingis

Send us a textIn this candid and energizing conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with Ryan Ettridge, co-founder and CEO of CyberCert, for a deep dive into martial arts, cybersecurity, and the power of self-awareness. Recorded live at Pax8 Beyond 2025, the episode kicks off with a discussion on Ryan's lifelong relationship with martial arts, including earning multiple black belts, a serious neck injury, and how jiu-jitsu taught him humility, confidence, and long-term mindset.The conversation transitions to business as Ryan shares his vision for CyberCert and the global launch of the SMB 1001 certification standard. Tailored specifically for small and medium-sized businesses, this standard is designed to be MSP-led, making the managed service provider an essential part of the certification process. Cyber insurers recognize it, reducing friction and increasing trust for SMB clients.Ryan also opens up about his personal journey through burnout, executive coaching, and the realization that every leader must confront their internal fears. He's now building an AI executive coaching app to help others do the same.Whether you're an MSP, a cybersecurity pro, or someone chasing alignment in life and business — this episode is packed with strategy, storytelling, and substance. 

“Success is a gift for the committed, not the convenient. It's going to require commitment… but if you do, you're going to be walking and soaring in areas that very few people do.”  The difference between struggling entrepreneurs and seven-figure earners isn't luck—it's beliefs, traits, and relentless execution. Hitting that Black Belt level means mastering your mindset, developing skill stacks with precision, and surrounding yourself with a peer group that demands your greatness. This episode dives deep into the psychology of high performers and why “just doing the work” isn't enough if you're stuck with the wrong internal code.  Marc shares powerful insights from working alongside Tony Robbins and high-level performers. From dissecting belief systems to analyzing how incongruence kills sales, he unpacks how small shifts in identity and behaviour produce massive leaps in income. And yes, he calls out the “yeah, but” crowd.  Marc Von Musser is a peak performance coach and sales expert who has worked with elite entrepreneurs and helped create thousands of success stories through Clients on Demand. Obsessed with hacking the human condition, he specializes in rewiring beliefs to accelerate business growth and personal transformation.  https://www.marcvonmusser.com/  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about embracing uncertainty as a leader. What does it really mean to lead with humanity—especially in an age of AI, change fatigue, and constant uncertainty? My guest this week is Jim Bouchard, author, speaker, and founder of The Human Centric Leader. In this powerful conversation, Jim shares how his personal journey from addiction to leadership taught him what transformation really takes—and why the best leaders don't have all the answers.We explore what it means to lead through uncertainty, the importance of sharing power and time, and how AI may actually amplify our humanity rather than replace it—if we use it well. We also dig into why resistance is a powerful compass, and how impostor syndrome can get in the way of becoming the leader you were meant to be.About My GuestBy his own admission, Jim Bouchard should have been dead or in jail many times over. Martial arts helped him overcome a life of crippling self-doubt and self-destruction. In his programs, Jim shares his inspiring transformation from dropout and drug addict to Black Belt and Sensei -- and how that experience made him a genuine leader.  He went on to open 5 martial arts schools, helping hundreds of people achieve their Black Belt rank, and thousands more discover their best selves.Today, Jim helps leaders around the world connect on a deeply human level to attract, engage, and lead people to their highest levels of performance and productivity.~Connect with Jim:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimbouchard/Website: https://www.thehumancentricleader.org/Join the Community: https://keep-it-human.mn.co/landing?space_id=17243140~Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files:Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge:https://www.kimmeninger.com/challengeLearn more about the Leading Humans discussion group:https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroupJoin the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6Join the Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumansSchedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-sessionConnect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/Website:https://kimmeninger.com
