On episode 150 of the BJJ Balance Podcast, Mat and Kenny go deep on the algorithm rabbit holes we don't tell our friends about before breaking down why women's MMA has struggled to build the same rivalries and star power as the men's division, using Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, and Amanda Nunes as the exception, not the rule. From there it's a full GOAT-style MMA debate: Mat makes the case that a prime GSP would give Islam Makhachev fits, breaks down why title fights produce fewer finishes, and explains why Khabib's Dagestani camp (allegedly 102 wins, 2 losses) might be the greatest MMA camp in history compared to AKA, Jackson's, American Top Team, Team Quest, and Extreme Couture. They talk BJJ and MMA camp loyalty, GSP's unique path training everywhere from Tristar to Greg Jackson's, and UFC roster depth. Then it's tattoo talk: neck tattoos, back pieces, tramp stamps, Craig Jones' leg piece, Prince Albert piercings, and the "no-gi guy" tattoo stereotypes. Mat also tells a legendary UPS route story about blown-out socks, a busted shin, and Lieutenant Dan wisdom about keeping your feet dry. They get into a real breakdown of technique versus power in grappling, why smaller technical guys need longer rounds to win, and Mat's advice to stop being "too nice" when you roll. The episode closes with a hard look at attendance-based belt promotions at big-name BJJ gyms, why some professors care more about commas in their bank account than real practitioners, and Mat's own belt journey from starting jiu jitsu at 21 to getting his black belt at 32. Plus: Gordon Ryan's "Moneybagg" versus Craig Jones' Jonah Hill debate, tongue ring stories, and the usual chaos. If you're into BJJ podcast content, MMA GOAT debates, jiu jitsu culture, and grappling community talk, this episode has it all.This episode is brought to you by Optiva Wellness.

Send us Fan MailBates White let us inside a real economic consulting case interview.Annie Olecki, a senior consultant in Bates White's antitrust practice, ran a live case interview with a volunteer from the MC community. And economic consulting cases don't look like the strategy cases at McKinsey or Bain.The case: a phone manufacturer suing its battery suppliers for price-fixing. The candidate has to size the damages, then revise the number - twice - as new evidence shifts the picture.That's the instinct Bates White is testing for. Annie wanted to see if the candidate would revise the estimate once new information proved it wrong.After the case wraps, Annie and Bates White recruiter Julian Pritcher take audience questions - interview rounds, what stands out in a resume, and R vs. Python.Join Bates White:Bates White's summer consultant program is open for applications.

Greg Davis sits down with David Perry, Republican candidate for Alabama's 7th Congressional District, ahead of Tuesday's August 11 special Republican primary.Perry makes his case for change in a district stretching from Birmingham and Tuscaloosa deep into Alabama's Black Belt and southwest Alabama. He discusses his campaign's focus on economic development, infrastructure, education, healthcare, public safety and criminal justice reform.Perry also shares his personal connection to the district, including his roots in Selma and Perry County, and explains why he believes the district's persistent poverty, deteriorating infrastructure, hospital closures and lack of access to basic services require a different approach to congressional representation.The conversation also explores Perry's identity as an African American Republican running in a heavily Democratic district, his Christian convictions, and his appeal to Christian voters to become more engaged in the political process.With Tuesday's primary determining the Republican nominee who will face longtime Democratic incumbent Terri Sewell in November, Perry argues that District 7 is capable of political change—and asks voters to give him the opportunity to lead that effort.

Johnny Gannon grew up in Maroubra in the Bra Boys era, when you did not talk about your problems and showing any weakness put you at the bottom of the pile. He has spent the last 25 years on the jiu-jitsu mats, took nearly 20 years to earn his black belt, and now runs eight-week health challenges with chapters right across Australia. At 54 he still trains most days, teaches his three kids, and is as curious as he has ever been. We were stoked to get him in. In this episode, we discuss how training became his way of coping, why he reckons you have to look after number one before you can look after anyone else, and the mate who told him to respect himself. He explains his wheel of health, the eight-week challenge that has people quitting the drink for good, and learning to hold his breath for three and a half minutes on an empty lung by getting curious instead of scared. We also get into the Bra Boys years, the grit that came out of them, and what he wants for his own kids instead. This podcast is supported by Denza.

One Punch, Dare YouAn Arrogant Black Belt Provoked a Single Dad—The Ending Stunned Everyone

Dr. Mark Costes presents the 2026 Golden Rhino Award case studies, honoring two standout transformations: Dr. Blake Hamlin and Dr. Collin Myrick, both UT Houston grads who joined DSI feeling successful but stuck and isolated. He walks through their application letters and financial scorecards, showing how each more than tripled their practices in three years—Hamlin from $1.6M to $5.37M, and Myrick from $2.2M to nearly $10M—largely by clarifying their model and vision before scaling. The two then join Costes on stage to unpack how they did it. Hamlin credits a relentless focus on a few core KPIs (reappointment rate, answering every call) and a marketing breakthrough, scaling spend from $5,000 to $45,000-plus a month to multiply new patients while holding overhead steady. Myrick points to vision, mission, and core values as his foundation, plus finding his integrator, Darcy, which freed him to lead as a CEO and say yes to rapid multi-location expansion across his rural Florida hometown.

Send us Fan MailThose who first meet Simon Morrell are often very surprised at his history and background. You see, today, Simon, as one of Wales' singularly most qualified martial artists and fight coaches with a library of books to his name, comes across as a confident person, but his childhood and early adult years were an experience far from anything that may have provided this.​Simon was badly bullied, violently assaulted (at one time, an attempt on his life was made by a knife wielding thug) and eventually succumbed to terrifying panic attacks that threatened to ruin his life. He fell to agoraphobia, and for a long time was unable to leave his house.​However, he was quite remarkably able to turn his life around when he found his path in writing and Martial Arts. He is the author of the award-winning books and true stories, From Bullied to Black Belt and the sequel An Everyday Warrior, as well as three other books of his own and five books his has Ghostwritten.This episode it raw, emotive and brutal at times. But Simon is a kind hearted and extremely likable guy who has been to hell and come back fighting!https://www.simonmorrell.com/Support the show

SUMMARY In this episode of Whistlekick Martial Arts Radio, Jeremy and Andrew delve into the misconceptions surrounding the black belt in martial arts. They discuss how the public perception often equates black belt with mastery, leading to divisive opinions within the martial arts community. The hosts emphasize that black belt should be viewed as a beginning of a deeper journey in martial arts rather than an endpoint. They explore the influence of popular culture, the subjectivity of rank, and the psychological impact of rank on students, advocating for a shift in how black belts are perceived and discussed.   TAKEAWAYS Black belt is often misunderstood as a symbol of mastery. The public perception of black belts is influenced by popular culture. Different martial arts schools have varying definitions of black belts. Black belt should be seen as a beginning, not an end. Subjectivity plays a significant role in rank evaluations. The psychological impact of rank can affect student retention. Cobra Kai and similar shows contribute to misconceptions about martial arts. Martial arts training is about personal growth and education. We need to change the narrative around black belts in the community. Rank should not be treated as proof of skill outside one's school.   Join our EXCLUSIVE newsletter to get notified of each episode as it comes out! Subscribe — whistlekick Martial Arts Radio

Is process mining just Six Sigma with better software? Two former Lean Six Sigma consultants — now Product Managers at ServiceNow — answer that question. The answer is more interesting than you’d expect.

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.

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.

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. This is part of Opinionpalooza, Slate's coverage of the major decisions from the Supreme Court. The best way to support our work is by joining Slate Plus.

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.
