In Episode 282, I sit down with Chris Vasil and Bilal Hasan — two local professional fighters out of Charlie's Combat Club here in Everett, WA, who also cross-train at my jiu-jitsu academy. When I was younger, I trained for many years with their head coach, Charlie Pearson, and our gyms have always shared a great relationship. We had a really fun conversation diving deep into each of their journeys in the world of professional MMA. As you can imagine, pro fighters tend to be fun, wild dudes — and this episode definitely reflects that energy! We talked about their training, mindset, and what life as a fighter really looks like. Both Chris and Bilal are exceptional athletes and competitors, but more importantly, they're great human beings. Bilal is a young up-and-comer, and I'm confident you'll see him in the UFC before long. I really enjoyed sitting down with these guys, and we've already agreed they'll be regular guests on the show.

George Mack joins James Smith for an unfiltered conversation that will change how you think about ambition, success, and the hidden traps of productivity. They dive deep into the concept of agency (why some people take control of their lives while others stay stuck) and how it shows up across business, relationships, happiness, and identity. From the “busy trap” to the myth of hustle culture, George unpacks the subtle ways we self-sabotage under the illusion of progress. He questions whether high agency is even healthy… or just a sophisticated form of burnout. James and George explore the psychology of success, the role of genetics, language and culture in shaping mindset, and how becoming a parent can snap you out of your grind obsession. He explains: ◼️ Why high agency can be a hidden mental illness ◼️ The real reason some people stay stuck (and how to escape) ◼️ How productivity becomes a trap disguised as progress ◼️ Why writing things down on a whiteboard might change your life ◼️ What jiu-jitsu teaches us about fear, ego, and self-awareness Timestamps: 00:00 The Problem With Low Agency 02:04 The Jail Cell Test 05:16 Can You Train Agency? 09:05 Context-Dependent Agency 15:15 Life in Austin, Texas 18:04 UK Cynicism vs American Naivety 24:06 The Happiness Paradox 30:02 Language Shapes Thinking 36:07 Hater or Inspired?

David Waldman has some explaining to do, and just the venue to do it. Dems spent a half week too close to the sun before finding a nice familiar cave to retreat to, back safe in the protective arms of the Gop, who have promised to quit beating them, this time. Democrats had to give in, for the sake of the children. Well rested, the Capitol kicked into high gear, running like the finely tuned machine that we've come to expect. Meanwhile, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson performed an excellent example of jurisprudential Jiu Jitsu by administrative stay to save SNAP from slow rolling.  Laura Loomer follows the voices in her head (Who sound just like Donald K. Trump) to smite Trump enemies, who never seem to include pedophiles, coal rollers, etc. Is Trump's cruelty or stupidity worse? Today's vote is for stupidity, for promoting mortgages that would take generations to pay off. Hey, at least Trump's was bigger than FDR's!  RIP today to Sally Kirkland, memorable in an almost unimaginably varied artistic career.

This is the episode nobody else had the guts to make.Have you ever wondered, "what are the HOTTEST women's BJJ Hot takes?" You'll never need to wonder again...We're talking about everything people whisper about on the mats but never say out loud:

In this week's mini-episode, we discuss how the torso and levers become points of control. With torso control, we clamp or hook onto our opponent's torso so we can hold them in position or rotate around them. With lever control, we use our opponent's arms, legs, and/or head to create leverage. Attacking a single lever usually affords more force, whereas attacking multiple levers simultaneously usually affords more control.

It was an honor to sit down with Professor Mark Bradford from Legacy West Adams — a true mentor, teacher, and leader who has impacted so many of our students and black belts across Los Angeles and beyond.Professor Mark began training with me over 25 years ago in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and his story is one of courage, sacrifice, and passion. Many don't know that he worked for the government for years before cashing in his retirement to dedicate his life fully to Jiu-Jitsu — to teaching, training, and helping others grow.I'm truly grateful for his friendship, loyalty, and all he's done to help build Legacy into what it is today.

He shares insights on the importance of invisible Jiu-Jitsu, his journey through self-imposed trials, and learning valuable life lessons from influential figures like Hickson Gracie.
