In this episode, we ask: Have you tied on your belt? What is happening with the CPI? Where is worker confidence listed with ABRI? What is the median savings for people in the U.S.? What age bracket is buying whole life insurance in droves? What is the black belt? Are you leaking wealth? Is your...

This might be the best Jiu-Jitsu advice I've ever given.Because once you understand this Secret Concept, you'll know who's actually winning every position before the score ever changes.Today, I(@thejoshmckinney) will break down the idea of "Positional Pacing" and why it's important to base your game around the right positions. Most grapplers don't lose because they don't know enough techniques. They lose because they don't know when they're already in trouble. They think all guards are equal. They think close matches are close because the scoreboard says they are.They're wrong.In this episode, I'm going to show you the hidden way good grapplers measure every position: who has real offense, who controls the pace, who is closer to scoring, and who is slowly getting dragged into hell.I call it Positional Pacing and using the ideas you'll learn you will start to see Jiu Jitsu's Secret scoreboard!And once you see it, guard, passing, pressure, pacing, and match strategy will never look the same again.Somebody is always winning.Most people just don't know how to see it yet.Subscribe to the I Suck at Jiu Jitsu Show for weekly AJJ advice, mindset, training stories, and questionable life choices that help you suck just a little bit less at Jiu Jitsu.Get my free ebook The Competitor's Journey:simplifyingjiujitsu.comGet a free copy of jiu jitsu for imbeciles: bjjmentalmodels.com/isuckSponsored by Datsusara:Use code ISUCK at dsgear.comGet Champions Stay Present(mindset hacks for competition): https://www.simplifyingjiujitsu.com/csp0:00 Most Black Belts Don't Know This BJJ Hack4:23 Welcome to I Suck at Jiu-Jitsu5:05 The Secret Scoreboard in Every Sport7:28 Why Some Positions Are Worth More Than Points8:24 Closed Guard Isn't Neutral10:44 Smashed Half Guard Means You're Losing14:16 The Chicago Open Story That Changed My Game23:51 He's Tired… Go Now27:56 The Blitz: When to Attack and When to Wait47:34 The Black Belt Answer: “You Shouldn't Have Been There”50:57 How to Beat the Annoying Blue Belt1:03:00 How to Use Positional Pacing in Your Rounds1:07:22 The Dormammu Strategy for Jiu-Jitsu1:09:18 The Positions You Should Build Your Game Around

Is the UK legal system actually fair, or is “Two-Tier Justice” a documented reality? In this explosive interview, I sit down with the Black Belt Barrister to uncover a “shadowy cabal” that effectively creates our laws without being answerable to the public. SUPPORT MY GUEST: Follow @BlackBeltBarrister We dive deep into the most controversial cases of the year - from the shocking disparity between riot sentencing and sex offender leniency to the truth behind the Lucy Connolly case. Why do some offenders get 31 months for a social media post while others escape prison for heinous crimes? We also explore the “fear of getting it wrong” within the police force, the secret influence of the Sentencing Council, and why the Equality Act might need a complete “blank slate” reboot. This is the conversation about the British legal system that the mainstream media is too afraid to have.

In this episode, I discuss an important concept in Six Sigma:Y = f(x) or Y is a function of x.Y is your measured output, and X represents the inputs to your process, and the function represents the process and how the X factors relate or impact the Y.Another way to state it is Inputs (X), Processes (Function) and Outputs (Y) or IPO.I explain how this concept can be used when thinking through your own personal improvement journey. What are your inputs, processes and outputs.If you don't like how one of the outputs is performing (relationships, weight, health, income, etc), then what processes and inputs need to change.Listen to the episode to learn more.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe is joined by leadership strategist and Heartnomics founder Hannah Bauer for a powerful conversation on resilience, leadership, and system transformation. Drawing from her remarkable journey of surviving severe heart disease as a child and later pioneering a groundbreaking heart procedure, Hannah Bau shares how early lessons about rhythm and recovery in the human body shaped her enduring philosophy about organizational health, leadership, and purpose. Listeners are taken through Hannah Bauer's deeply personal story: from formative years spent battling tachycardia and living within the painful uncertainty of chronic illness, to emerging as an industry leader and innovator. She reflects on the parallels between physiological disruption and dysfunctional organizational systems. Just as the heart must maintain steady rhythms for the body to thrive, organizations require well-aligned processes and clear communication to avoid chaos, burnout, and constant rework. Hannah Bauer details her unconventional path to leadership, which began not in a boardroom, but from a hospital bed, where service and observation became her best teachers. Inspired by the volunteers that impacted her life, she gravitated toward service, eventually understanding—through firsthand experience and mentorship—that leadership is service. Her community work in Georgia, involvement in university organizations, and eventual rise to positions such as CEO, board chair, and executive director are woven together by a commitment to purposeful service and systemic clarity. A significant portion of the episode focuses on organizational dynamics: Why do well-intentioned teams still get stuck? Hannah Bauer unpacks the difference between people-related issues and system misalignments, warning of the dangers of over-reliance on charismatic leaders and the stagnation that results when authority is not fully delegated through clear, actionable processes. She stresses the importance of access, communication, and shared understanding, and warns about the silent dangers of silos, where departments become disconnected and critical information fails to flow. Listeners gain insight into Lean Six Sigma, as Hannah Bauer, a certified Black Belt, explains how the methodology can identify hidden wastes in organizations, particularly the often-overlooked "loss of human potential." She shares real-world examples of how businesses—especially during disruptions or market shifts—must scrutinize their processes, question their assumptions, and focus not just on the adoption of new systems but on their purposeful integration. Throughout the episode, practical strategies are offered for leaders wanting to move from a reactive, survival mentality to achieving sustainable success. Hannah Bauer advises on how to uncover the root causes behind persistent symptoms (like high turnover, low productivity, or missed opportunities), emphasizing continual inquiry: How do you know that your team knows what you expect of them? She encourages leaders to see pressure and disruption as opportunities to reveal underlying issues and recommends periodic reflection—comparing the stress tests of medical diagnostics to stress-testing one's organizational culture. Wize and Hannah Bauer also delve into the evolution of industries in the face of technological change, like the shift from print to digital publishing or the rise of AI, drawing lessons on adaptability and the dangers of losing organizational identity amid rapid change. Hannah Bau explains how clarity of purpose and a strong sense of mission help teams remain resilient when the external environment is volatile. The episode closes with inspiring, actionable advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed or burned out, whether at work or in life. Hannah Bauer urges listeners to breathe, reflect on what is actually within their control, and seek community—reminding us that excellence, not perfection, is the goal. She highlights the transformative power of coaching and supportive relationships, drawing from both her personal and professional experiences to remind leaders that pressure is not the enemy, but a catalyst for growth and innovation. Key Topics Discussed: How childhood illness shaped a holistic view of leadership and systems The journey from service to strategic leadership roles Differentiating between people problems and process problems The dangers of decision bottlenecks and organizational silos Importance of common language/culture in execution and delivery Lean Six Sigma and identifying the waste of human potential Navigating industry disruption and preserving organizational identity What to do when implementation of new systems falls flat The role of love, trust, and community in corporate culture Moving from survival mode to sustainable, purposeful growth Why excellence—not perfection—should be the target for innovative leadership Who Should Listen: This episode is a must-listen for business leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, non-profit directors, and anyone interested in leadership, organizational development, or personal resilience. Whether you're leading through disruption, trying to realign your systems, or simply seeking encouragement to move forward after setbacks, Hannah Bau's wisdom and Wise's insightful questions offer both robust frameworks and authentic inspiration.

The hosts return after a multi-week break to recap life updates: an Outer Banks trip, an upcoming family trip to France, and a hilarious Buc-ee's convenience store stop. Major personal milestones and mishaps take center stage — Breeze earns his third-degree black belt with a dramatic board break, they deal with car trouble after a deer collision and a skunk incident, and they improvise by installing window air conditioners.

One of the challenges of modern legal journalism is recalling that case law, doctrine, and Supreme Court decisions aren't a complete picture, without including the lived realities of the people whose lives and communities are often turned upside down by changes in the law.On Tuesday night, the Supreme Court's far-right flank vastly expanded its holding in Louisiana v. Callais to make it harder, if not impossible, to challenge racist voting maps designed to suppress Black votes. The shadow-docket decision misrepresented its own holding in Callais and discarded a case it had already decided. With the conservative supermajority tossing a lower-court panel's finding in Allen v. Milligan and further erasing voting rights for Black Americans across the country, Amicus revisits our 2022 conversation with Evan Milligan, the named plaintiff, at the time the case first came to the high court. Milligan explained what's at stake for the very real people living in gerrymandered districts in Alabama's Black Belt region; a gerrymander blessed this week that was forbidden just three years ago.Later, Dahlia Lithwick talks with Andrew Weissmann, an MS NOW legal analyst, NYU law professor, and veteran federal prosecutor who served as lead prosecutor under special counsel Robert S. Mueller and as chief of the DOJ's Fraud Section. Even with Opinionpalooza heating up at the high court, Weissmann pauses to analyze a busy week in democratic dismantling at the Justice Department and on Capitol Hill. And, Weissmann proposes something truly shocking— real accountability for public officials who lie, as laid out in his new bestselling book, Liar's Kingdom: How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.marcandangel.com/2008/06/23/9-black-belt-techniques-for-fighting-laziness-at-work/ Quotes to ponder: "Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction." "Once you stop, laziness kicks in and it's hard to get going again." "Success is just a game of inches. Every small inch of forward progress is a grand accomplishment, because at some point you will be able to add up all those inches."

Leor Weiss has been training jiu jitsu since 2007, when, at eighteen, he walked into a gym and began what would become a near two-decade education in controlled violence. He now holds a second-degree black belt under Daniel Gracie and teaches at the Renzo Gracie Academy in Brooklyn. What distinguishes Weiss from the more monastic practitioners of his discipline is the breadth of his curiosity. He has traveled to Japan not for tournaments but for forests. He is devoted to the films of David Lynch. He is drawn, above all, to people whose circumstances bear no resemblance to his own. In this wide-ranging podcast, we talked about Leor's arc from non-athletic gamer to black belt, his knack for teaching, and the crossover between jiu jitsu and surfing. I said it in the podcast and I'll say it again: Dude's got the gift of gab.If you dig this podcast, will you please leave a short review on Apple Podcasts?

This week's guest is a true BAD ASS. Not because he's BIG, he's also had 40 years of Martial Arts training. He earned Black Belts across multiple disciplines. But just like in Martial Arts, he didn't get his career starting at the top. He began his journey as a white belt, packing boxes at the warehouse in the early days of Billabong. Fast-forward 30 years, he climbed the ranks to a Black Belt level career, serving as a Global VP of Supply Chain at Volcom. He led the responsible production compliance, championing for fair labor practices, and played a key role in the groundbreaking sustainability initiative “Farm to Yarn”. This guy is incredible, he is also certified firearms instructor. He's a security and protection specialist who provides tactical and medical training for both professionals and civilians through his company Mana Group Training Solutions. We're fired up and welcome to show, our good friend, Tony “BIG TONY” Alvarez.

Last night, after dinner, I was having a conversation with Braxton about the mind.   For a ten year old, he is amazing in my eyes because he is so interested in learning about concepts like mindset and theater of the mind.   Anyways, I told him that the mind works much the same as the belt system in martial arts.  We all start out as white belts and then it's up to us, as individuals, to advance up the ranks.   Each day and each week, we are given experiences in the form of mental and spiritual resistance training that can add another stripe to our mental belt.   Unfortunately, most people shrink away from these types of resistance training sessions because they feel like a struggle.  And that's because they are a struggle, but struggling is a good thing!  That is where learning and growth comes from.   In today's episode, I discuss what each level of belt looks like in terms of learning, awareness, mindset and approach.  I close out with sharing some concepts with you that have worked for me and that will get you to begin to think differently.  As you advance up the ranks, you will be faced with more advanced 'opponents', and to eventually beat those opponents, you wll have to use a different line of thought.   Let me know any questions and don't forget to leave a review if you haven't already, it helps the show out a lot! Thanks in advance! Be Unconventional, Kyle Newell aka Panda Man P.S. - If you have never had a Coach but you've been curious, then shoot me a text.  I am happy to discuss how it works and what you would be looking to get out of the experience.  And I will be the first and fastest one to tell you if it's not a good fit at this point.   Coaching is invaluable if the student is ready.  Here's my cell, feel free to text me: 908-229-6666

In this episode, I share how competing against a two-time world champion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu shaped my understanding of leadership and personal growth. I highlight the significance of hard work and preparation, drawing parallels between competition and leadership challenges in business. I discuss overcoming fears, resilience, and the continuous journey of growth, likening the path to success to the pursuit of a black belt. I outline three key lessons: growth knows no limits, preparation is vital, and the most significant battles occur within our minds. I hope to inspire listeners to embrace their leadership journeys with courage and resilience.

This early "Wild West" era of YouTube saw him rise through the ranks to earn up to $150,000 in a single month while building lifelong connections with creators like Mr Beast and the FaZe Clan.PJ has since parlayed his digital influence into a diversified empire, most notably as a co-owner of Nutcase, a premium cashew milk brand launched alongside superstars Steve Aoki and Ninja. Beyond the beverage world, he is a first-degree Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt with over 20 years of training experience. He shares exclusive stories about training with UFC champions and his role in the meteoric rise of Happy Punch, a combat sports media powerhouse that now generates over a billion views monthly.In this deep dive, PJ breaks down the reality of influencer boxing, explaining why athletes like Jake Paul and Logan Paul are legitimate specimens while detailing his own ambitions to claim the Misfits MMA Championship from Dylan Danis.

ABOUT BLACK BELT STATUS I spent this past weekend digging into claims made by Victor Marx. One of the ones I found the most curious is his claim that he is a "7th degree black belt in Cajun Karate Keichu-do a mixture of Karate / Jui-jitsu/ boxing" and it is a martial arts style created by Victor's late father Karl Marx. I tried to find out how one moves from belt to belt and couldn't find anything, and since that is a mystery, I thought we'd do some digging into more traditional forms of martial arts to see how it compares to jiu jitsu in terms of becoming a black belt. Today I've got an actual black belt in jiu jitsu Seth Rodenbaugh on at 2:30 to talk martial arts for a minute. He also happens to be half of the broadcast team with Of the Day Rob for From the Ashes podcast, which is a veteran focused show, and you can find their Facebook page here and their podcast here. Seth is also the owner of Obsidian Martial Arts in Parker, which you can find here, and a longtime blackbelt under Robert Drysdale.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
