If someone were to cross a physical boundary with you, do you feel prepared and capable of protecting your boundaries?Safety is a primary concern when you are human, and it is even more of a concern when society isn't doing the best job making you feel safe or capable of keeping yourself safe. Don't dress that way and attract unwanted attention they say. Don't walk alone late at night or early evenings they say. Often women are left feeling like the victim long before a crime or a siituation has occurred.Eve Torres Gracie is a Self Defense expert and instructor at Gracie University of Gracie Jiu Jitsue. She's opening the conversation with how the core lof self defense for women is to feel confident and to be able to enforce boundaries. Defending your boundaries and giving yourself permission to know that you are worth defending is key. At this Rad Con Live event Lisa is joined by Celebrity Makeup Artist, Molly Roncal, Co-Founder of Bossbabes, Danielle Canty, Holistic Psychologist, Nicole LePera, and Self Defense Expert, Eve Torres Gracie. The conversation gets open and extremely vulnerable. Discussing aging and insecurities around beauty, scars, and self-worth isn't easy to do openly, but as women we need to be able to have these conversations.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction Eve Torres Gracie0:37 | Confidence to Set Boundaries6:12 | Confidence to Save Yourself11:23 | Get Tough As Hell29:04 | Take Back Your PowerQUOTES:“People will not set boundaries that they do not feel capable of enforcing.” Eve Torres Gracie [1:43]“Radical confidence really is not about feeling amazing, [...] It's knowing that you can get started without the confidence, that you can keep moving forward…” Lisa Bilyeu [5:34]“When it comes to the moment we have to practice, start using our voice, or telling somebody no… that can be the challenge.” Eve Torres Garcie [8:35]“Part of what it is is reestablishng that relationship with our intuition and with those moments of reprioritizing our safety over other people's feelings.” Eve Torres Gracie [10:23]“If we don't feel safe, how can we feel confident.” Eve Torres Gracie [36:03]Follow Eve Torres Gracie:Website: https://evetorresgracie.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/evetorresgracie Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EveTorresGracieOfficial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/evetorresgracie/

In this bonus hour-long episode we welcome special guest, Lydia Alabach. Lydia is a Gracie University instructor for Women Empowered and currently an instructor-in-training for their Combatives program.We discuss many of the mental aspects of self-defense that are taught in the programs that she teaches and how they can relate into our world of sports. As a society, we often hold an unrealistic expectation for our athletes to be turned on all the time and carry a persona 24/7. This episode is meant to connect that strain to the strain of another very important conversation in our society today. Athletes are human too and deserve to have that time where they can be themselves and enjoy being human.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/MindFullSports)

In this episode of the podcast, Sam Harris speaks with Rener Gracie about police procedure and about the special relevance of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for safely controlling resisting suspects. Rener Gracie is a third-generation member of the legendary Gracie Family credited with creating the self-defense system known as Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. He started learning the family craft at two years old, and he was 10 years old when his father created the UFC. Today, Rener is the co-owner and chief instructor at the Gracie University of Jiu-Jitsu, the global jiu-jitsu organization headquartered in Southern California. With over 180 brick-and-mortar locations worldwide, and over 300,000 students learning via the interactive online jiu-jitsu portal (GracieUniversity.com), Rener has dedicated his life to sharing jiu-jitsu with the world. In recent years, Rener has become a central figure in the discussion surrounding police use of force in the United States. With over 20 years of experience teaching law enforcement professionals, he presents compelling data that substantiates the need for more training for police officers at a time when many are fighting to “defund the police,” which would accomplish the exact opposite.

As many of you know, several years ago, I immersed myself in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and, frankly, it’s been one of the best things I’ve done for myself in my entire life. And, today, I am joined by a man who has done a tremendous job in getting the art to the masses by codifying a system of learning Jiu-Jitsu that has trained and developed tens of thousands of martial artists. His name is @renergracie, a 4th-degree black belt, the grandson of Helio Gracie, and the founder and chief instructor of Gracie University. We talk about the system he and his brother created, the differences between sport BJJ and combat BJJ, building legacies, training our police force to handle themselves, and how to develop a level of comfort in chaos. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The starting point of Jiu-Jitsu Becoming the exception  Knowing when to strike Doing things the right way The only fight that matters A product of savagery  Cracking the code The art of violence The Police Disappointment Gap Spreading the word The Bully-Proof program Enforcing boundaries Expressing dissatisfaction  Understanding the consequences RENER GRACIE My guest today is Rener Gracie. He is the grandson of the man who brought Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to America, Helio Gracie. He is a 4th-degree black belt and is the founder and lead instructor of Gracie University where he has instructed thousands of men, women, and children in the art of BJJ. He’s also extremely innovative and forward-thinking and has created programs specifically designed for law enforcement, women, and children (through their Gracie Bullyproof program). In addition, he trains many top-level fighters including UFC’s Brian Ortega. Needless to say, the man knows what he’s doing and he comes from a long line of very capable and proficient tacticians.  ACCOUNTABILITY Most of the men who join our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council, do so to gain some level of accountability. In fact, that is one of the main reasons I started the organization. But with as many men who are looking for some level of accountability from the programs, masterminds, and brotherhoods, they participate in, few offer as much accountability as we have built into the Iron Council. When you band with us, not only will you get access to the 820+ men who belong to the Iron Council but you’ll also have the opportunity to join a Battle Team of 15 men who will hold your feet to the fire.

Law enforcement officers are often put into difficult situations where they need to make immediate decisions on levels of force needed to stop an attack, to defend others or themselves, or possibly to use to effect an arrest of a resisting offender. In this episode, host Jim Dudley speaks with Rener Gracie, world-renowned Jiu-Jitsu expert, practitioner and chief instructor at the Gracie University about the current deficits in law enforcement defensive tactics training and how use of force “reform” could endanger both cops and civilians.

Rener Gracie is a JiuJitsu BlackBelt, an Entrepreneur, Inventor, and Chief Instructor at Gracie University- my jiujitsu academy. :) Rener is a third-generation Gracie, son of Rorian Gracie who is responsible for bringing the Self Defense Martial Art of JiuJitsu from Brasil to the states JiuJitsu is now one of the most popular martial arts disciplines being trained worldwide Rener is unarguably one of the greatest JiuJitsu Black Belts walking the planet and he is equally one of the greatest teachers of the martial art discipline. His love and passion for JiuJitsu are absolutely infectious as is his desire for the masses to learn JiuJitsu.  It was from his passion that Rener created the world's largest online platforms for learning Gracie JiuJitsu.  I believe Rener is truly an engineer at heart. His ingenuity is remarkable- he has a SOLUTION based mindset.  Not only is this easily seen through his incredible jiujitsu skills and all that he has created within his business, but it’s also what led him to create Quick Flip, a high-quality hoodie that shifts into a light wearing backpack. This invention took him on to Shark Week where he gave one of the greatest pitches (if not the best) the show has ever seen.  It actually went viral- it was THAT good.   One of the most notable aspects of Rener’s characters is his  “RENERGY.”  He is robust, potent, and effective in his creations + his communication skills as you will CLEARLY absorb from this epic talk.  On a personal note, I have to say Rener is one of the greatest guys I’ve ever met in my life. He is a loving husband to my girl, Eve Torres Gracie, and father to their two boys Raeven + Renson. He is my one of my brothers,  Mike Saffaie’s, very of best friends for great reasons- he is caring, genuine, and loyal. My family and Rener’s family have been very close for decades- they are those incredible + consistent friends who become family.  In this elevating conversation Rener and I get down on all things JiuJitsu:  How JJ affects your confidence How JJ came into my life When + Why Rener created Gracie University online  How Rener and GU family have pivoted through Covid to maintain business What Solo JJ is and why this is taking JJ skills + Rener’s problem-solving skills to an entirely new level  How + WHY JJ is more than a martial art but also an approach to life We also get down on talks on why Rener created Quick Flip and I promise you will not only be learning but also laughing with enjoyment as you take in his RENERGY. :) Honestly you guys, I cannot say enough great things about Rener, he’s the real thing and I’m so proud to share his incredible mindset and powerful frameworks with you all. It’s not even a question of if you will love this episode, the question is when are YOU starting JJ if you don’t already--it’s one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life because of how it has impacts me on and off the mat.  I would love to ask for some support by sharing this EP on your IG stories and tag both Rener + I on it. Additionally, it would be AMAZING support to give us a 5-star rating and review this podcast via Itunes so we can keep it growing and bring you more EPIC guests like Rener.  Enjoy! xRx STAY CONNECTED WITH RENER: INSTAGRAM  TWITTER FACEBOOK  GRACIE UNIVERSITY QUICK FLIP

Mike Saffaie is an elite + highly revered Strength & Conditioning coach to high performing athletes with some names under his resume such as UFC fighters Cara Esparza, Anderson Silva, Ferbricio Werdum, + Brain ”T-City” Ortega to name a few. In addition to training pro atheltes, he’s been an award winning private trainer for over two decades now. His unique approach to training stems from the mental landscape of an engineer. He designs all of his training methods from a methodical and intelligent strategies that advance body mechanics, strength and speed- all of which have been proven to be effective. Fitness in many facets has been a life long passion of Mike Saffaie. It’s in his DNA and when you look at the physique of this life time athlete who is an ALL natural, IFBB PRO + PNBA competitor, it’s hard to disagree. Like his training skills, his abs have legitimately won their own awards too. No joke. He’s been training Brasilian JiuJitsu for over 13 years and officially received his Black Belt under Ryron + Rener Gracie out of Gracie University in Torrance California. Above all of those amazing accomplishments and high honors, what I am MOST proud of is that fact that I get to call Mike Saffaie MY brother. Most know my brother for his passion for fitness + movement, his physical talents, competitive wins and his career status but the deeper you get to know Mike, you quickly learn he equally loves using his mind through philosophy, intellectual arguments/debates, critical thinking and logical reasoning. He completely CRUSHES the usual perception of the “gym guy with muscles” who would prefer to listen to an intellectual argument on Free Will vs watch Sunday night football. Aside from his love for body + mind, Mike is known as one of the realist + kindest guys around. As his sister, one year apart in age (he’s my baby brother hehe) I can honestly say, he’s one of the most curious humans I’ve ever met, what you see is what you get with my brother: i.e. he’s as real as it gets and he has the biggest heart that is fiercely loyal that which he loves. In this very special episode you will learn: His competition mindset What drives him to compete The challenges in learning how to “get better and better” Seeking challenges to discover more of himself and his capabilities to beat them How he utilizes aggression for progress and why he believes leaning into it can support wins Why he feels resiliency is essential to survival and how he tests his own levels of resiliency Why he prefers short term goals over resolutions His self-talk when training an being challenged How his early childhood exposed his mind to it’s reaction ability His views on” Life moving towards us” vs “Life happening for us” Being hyper vigilant, growing up with ADHAD and dealing with anxiety How his specific style of Jiu-Jitsu led him to create his patented grip strengthening device, The Grapple Grip™ What makes fighters and MMA unique to other athletes and his approach to training them How he creates future videos taking to himself and why The power of motivating yourself by speaking out loud as a performance tool The bravest thing he’s done in his life to date Why he does not carry negative emotional weight from his childhood adversities The one constant in his life that gives him confidence HIs “ALL IN” mentality + approach to his work What’s inspiring him currently and projects he currently working on What he loves especially about training women + how his upbringing influenced his relationship to empowered women This episode will definitely pull you into deep thought and get your inner champion fired up at the same time.

In the 1980s, when people signed up for a martial art, they probably joined a karate or taekwondo school. Today? They’re probably signing up for a roll on the mat in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu class. And the Gracie family has played a central role in this martial art's precipitous rise. My guest today is a member of the Gracie family, the head instructor of the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy, and the co-creator of Gracie University, an online jiu-jitsu program. His name is Rener Gracie, and you may have seen the videos we made with him on our YouTube Channel a few years ago. Today, Rener walks us through the origins of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, beginning with his grandfather Helio, and how a martial art born in Japan ended up being reshaped in Brazil. He then shares how his father helped develop the UFC as a way to promote the efficacy of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, but why there's a big difference between sport BJJ and self-defense BJJ, and why BJJ is such an effective real world martial art. We end by talking about the mindset shift that occurs when you learn how to defend yourself, and how the confidence you gain from learning jiu-jitsu carries over into other aspects of life.

020 | The Entry Level Middle Class Lifestyle is a tool that you can use to supercharge your path to FI. Jonathan and Brad go through their expenses one line item at a time. Then they start the conversation about a FI approach to insurance, with an emphasis on life insurance In Today’s Podcast we cover: What Jonathan and Brad’s lifestyle and budget look like. We go in-depth into our actual spending and budget line items What have we talked about previously? How to crush your food budget, how to get fit while being frugal, basics of investing, how to save 75% of your income, tax loss and tax gain harvesting, travel rewards and the unfair advantage for teachers. Housing prices and mortgages for Brad and Jonathan Jonathan was looking for an older neighborhood with a generational shift going on with kids coming in Brad’s net cost per month is under $800 per month on his house in a great school district in the Richmond-metro area How to maximize insurance: be sure to shop around and get quotes and don’t be complacent. Also determine realistically how much coverage you need and don’t just follow the advice of your agent.  Increase your deductible as much as possible to save money. Life insurance: Get term life insurance until you don’t need the insurance any longer (when you’re at Financial Independence). The insurance agent will always attempt you to buy whole life insurance; in the vast majority of cases term life is the best possible option. Once you’re at FI, you can self-insure since you don’t need the lump sum Car expenses: Jonathan mentioned the forthcoming ‘true cost of car ownership’ article Jonathan does currently have a car payment Brad has not had a car payment on either car for well over 5 years Cell phones: Jonathan has Project FI and Brad has Republic Wireless By being smart about your cell phone you should easily be able to save $100 per month “Easy choices, hard life; hard choices, easy life” Cable bills and internet packages from Comcast and Verizon Jonathan buys an internet-only package from Verizon What happens when you give up screen time entirely? Talk, play board games, etc. Gym memberships: Brad pays $20 a month for Crunch fitness. Jonathan does not have a membership any longer.  He paid $1,000 to build a top-notch home gym for a one-time cost Brad now does Brazilian Jiu Jitsu through Gracie University and the free Gracie Garages Take a step back and see what you can work on long-term to get better at life? Keep track of your food and alcohol budget and it will help you cut down Where do we spend that might be “frivolous” but where we get a lot of value? Financial independence is not deprivation. It is about being intentional
