Welcome back, happy people. This week on the podcast, I sit down with Michael Pereira, the founder of The Autism Voyage, to explore his journey from corporate finance to becoming a dedicated advocate for families navigating autism. Michael opens up about the life-changing moment when his son's autism diagnosis shifted his priorities from career to family. We discuss the real challenges parents face beyond the diagnosis, from daily routines and communication barriers to managing diet, hygiene, and emotional burnout. Michael shares practical strategies for self-advocacy, including how to approach IEP meetings, build a reliable care team, and avoid common financial pitfalls when planning for long-term care. We also talk about the unexpected role Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has played in his son's growth, helping with focus, body awareness, and confidence, while strengthening their bond as a family. Wrapping up, Michael dives into why entrepreneurship can be a lifeline for parents of special needs children, and how turning personal experience into purpose can change not just your life, but the lives of others.

Today marks 5 years since I launched Off the Mats Podcast. What started during the uncertainty of the COVID pandemic as a way to stay connected with friends has turned into something bigger than I ever expected. To every guest who's come on to share their story, and to every listener who's tuned in, shared an episode, or reached out—thank you. You've helped build a space that's about more than jiu-jitsu. It's about people, growth, and community. Joining me on this week's episode is returning guest, teammate, and friend of the show, Mark Rollamas, for a wide-ranging conversation that blends BJJ, life, and a little pop culture. We kick things off by catching up on what Mark's been up to lately—especially his focus on helping newer grapplers develop effective ankle lock attacks. We get into the grind of intense practices and how age and injuries impact training. We also talk about whether YouTube and Instagram techniques actually hold up in live rolls. Then, of course, we veer into movie talk—sharing thoughts on the new Fantastic Four, our favorite time travel flicks, and some horror film themes (plus a quick nod to the So, You Like Horror? podcast). We wrap it all up by talking about the future of Off the Mats and where my personal jiu-jitsu journey is headed next.  This show has kept me grounded, introduced me to amazing people, and reminded me why these conversations matter. Here's to 5 years of stories, lessons, laughs, and everything in between—and to whatever comes next.

This week we are joined by our friend Billy Liamero from Pure MMA. We have a chat about his job as an ironworker in NYC, BJJ, partying, and rapping. This is a wild one with a lot of curve balls thrown at you. One thing is for sure; Billy is enjoying life.Episode resources:Sponsor:Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honestsupplements.com⁠⁠⁠⁠

Produced as part of MATS 8.0 under the mentorship of Alex Turner and Alex Cloud. This research note overviews some early results which we are looking for feedback on. TL;DR: We train language models with RL in toy environments. We show that penalizing some property of the output is sufficient to suppress that property in the chain of thought also, even when that property is relevant to task completion. For example, when we penalize a model for mentioning in its output that it completed a task via a certain form of cheating, its reasoning also omits this fact. We therefore suspect that training against an output monitor is sufficient to cause obfuscated CoTs in more realistic settings. Introduction Chain of thought (CoT) supervision appears in many control and scalable oversight protocols. It has been argued that being able to monitor CoTs for unwanted behavior is a critical property [...] ---Outline:(00:56) Introduction(02:38) Setup(03:48) Single-Turn Setting(04:26) Multi-Turn Setting(06:51) Results(06:54) Single-Turn Setting(08:21) Multi-Turn Terminal-Based Setting(08:25) Word-Usage Penalty(09:12) LLM Judge Penalty(10:12) Takeaways(10:57) AcknowledgementsThe original text contained 1 footnote which was omitted from this narration. --- First published: July 30th, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/CM7AsQoBxDW4vhkP3/optimizing-the-final-output-can-obfuscate-cot-research-note --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:

Vi får besöka av Jenny Larsson från Lager 157, vi pratar revanch, formtoppning och seger i Vasaloppet till vintern!  Smala skidor är podden för dig som är intresserad av längdskidåkning. I jakten på att utveckla sig som långloppsåkare nördar Mats och Kay ned sig  i allt som rör sporten.  Gilla eller bli fan av podden här https://www.friareliv.se/smalaskidor Häng med till Vuokatti i oktober 

Det ligger en kraft i att lyssna. Att inte bara höra orden utan att verkligen ta in dem. Med nyfikenhet. Med närvaro. Utan att vara på väg mot sitt eget svar. I årets sommaredition av PratSmart möter vi Mats Heide, professor i strategisk kommunikation, och Anette Svingstedt, universitetslektor inom tjänstevetenskap. Tillsammans har de skrivit boken Strategiskt lyssnande, och forskat i hur vi kan utveckla vår kommunikation genom just det, både som individer och som organisationer. Det här är ett samtal om lyssnande som kraft. Om varför verkligt ledarskap börjar med att vara närvarande, öppen och nyfiken på andras perspektiv. Vi pratar om hur du som chef, kollega eller medmänniska kan skapa tryggare relationer, starkare team och bättre resultat genom att bli bättre på att lyssna. På riktigt. Inte bara höra orden – utan förstå vad som ligger bakom dem.Mats och Anette delar både forskning och vardagsexempel: om tystnadskulturer och mod, om feedback som fastnar och samtal som förändrar. Och om varför lyssnande inte bara är en kommunikationsförmåga utan ett sätt att visa respekt, bygga förtroende och skapa verklig utveckling.

Greetings, all. This week on the podcast, I sit down with BJJ purple belt, John Ramos, to hear how his journey into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu began with a Google search about Married with Children star Ed O'Neill and led him from Florida International University to Carlos Gracie Miami and eventually to Crazy 88 MMA. John reflects on his early days as a white belt competitor, the importance of training safely, and how the world of BJJ intersects with his experiences in the military. He opens up about the emotional challenges of transitioning between gyms and how the mats became a lifeline during tough moments in his personal life. John also shares what he looks for in a new training environment and offers valuable advice for fellow service members who might feel hesitant to try BJJ. We close out the episode with a fun round of rapid-fire questions to get to know him even better—on and off the mats.   We want to shout out @johnsfitmeals Head over and use promo code Mahoney10, and you'll get 10% off.   Thank you, again, to everyone for listening to and supporting the podcast up to this point.

Die Nachbarn und die verflixte 13: mit leichter Verspätung melden wir uns zurück mit unserer Besprechung zum Film "Zimmer 13" - krankheitsbedingt ohne Fabian. Mats und Silvia gehen dem titelgebenden Zimmer 13 auf die Fährte, beobachten einen Postzugraub, fühlen sich von Portraits beobachtet und verabschieden sich von Joachim Fuchsberger. Blacky

Vi sätter oss i sommarvärmen och snackar med Mats från Lokala Drycker – en plattform som ger översikt över alla svenska producenter som kommit igång med gårdsförsäljning (lokaladrycker.se). Var hittar man lokala drycker? Hur ser trenderna ut? Och varför behövs en samlingsplats för det småskaliga?

Enligt Peterson så behöver man bjuda in den svarta drottningen i sitt liv, annars blir det kaos när hon bjuder in sig själv och detta får vi även delvis uppleva live. Mats räknas väl som Gävleborgare vid det här laget, och det är varmt. Inget särskilt alltså.

Choosing to let go..of the stress..the things not working for YOU..that which is draining your energy..pulling you wrong directions..weighing you down..and more.. THAT's what we're after, today.In fact, today.. I am so excited, that I am fast talking!!

Welcome back, folks. This week on the podcast, I sit down with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt Navarro Chamberlain, training out of Crazy 88 MMA. Known for his tireless work ethic, technical precision, and dedication to the craft, Navarro shares the story of how he first discovered Jiu-Jitsu and the early struggles that shaped his journey. He reflects on what it's like to train in one of the most competitive gyms in the region, learning from elite coaches and training partners who constantly push him to evolve. Navarro discusses the mental and technical transitions that come with advancing in rank, reveals his favorite positions and submissions, and offers valuable advice for lower belts aspiring to progress. We also talk about his long-term goals in the sport, including thoughts on coaching, reaching black belt, and staying motivated through the grind. To close out, Navarro takes on our Rapid Fire segment, answering questions about his toughest rolls, go-to submissions, and how the art has influenced life beyond the mats.

Patrick introduces the “CALM” framework - Confront, Adapt, Lead, Mature - designed to help leaders develop perspective, build resilience, and lead with confidence and humanity. He discusses how embracing vulnerability, seeking support, and accepting complexity have shaped his approach to leadership over time. “You can be confident about the things that you're good at,” Patrick says, “but you have to always know that you're still learning.”Patrick Cozier is a successful and experienced secondary school leader. He has been a Headteacher of a large comprehensive school for 19 years. He is also the chair of the Haringey Secondary Heads Forum.

Another installment from our trip to the Mid-America Trucking Show MATS 2025 and we caught up with a couple of great guys, Charles Justice (CJ & John McIntyre from Revolution Energy Services. Two down to earth guys who love the trucking industry and are great advocates for all things trucking.  We were also able to sit down with some great people from Radio Nemo. Dave Nemo has been the voice of trucking radio through more changes than you'd believe – through AM radio, satellite ratio, and now digital streaming. And through all the changes, he's managed to keep professional drivers of the US awake, alert and hopefully, alive. Jimmy Mac is a native New Orleanian who has visited 49 states and called 4 of them home. Having worked in law enforcement, education, contracting, and the entertainment industry, he is now proud to be a member of the Radio Nemo family. Lindsay Lawler is a singer, songwriter, radio host, and Nashville-based entrepreneur. She spent many years as the national spokesperson of the Highway Angel program in the trucking industry, and her song "Highway Angel'' has become an anthem for truck drivers everywhere. She founded the Highway Angel Truckstop Tour and performed free concerts for truckers at truck stops across the country. Last year she released the song "I'm Okay" which People Magazine highlighted in a personal interview with Lindsay, and in addition to countless singles including a duet with 80's star Tiffany. 

Visst är det härligt att se en spegelbild av sig själv. Någon som tänker och agerar precis som jag. Det blir så friktionsfritt och enkelt att jobba ihop. Men vilka resultat får vi om alla är lika? Mycket forskning och erfarenhet visar att de organisationer och lag som vågar arbeta med olikheter är också de som får bäst resultat. Det är inte det enklaste men effektivaste. I dagens avsnitt pratar Lena, Mats och Lars om vad som händer om man vågar blanda sina grupper med olikheter och aktivt arbetar med att förstå sig själv och sina medspelare. Vad som händer när man lär sig respektera och förstå att någon annans olikhet bir mitt komplement och att vi tillsammans breddar vår totala förmåga.

Welcome back, friends. This week on the podcast, I sit down with Ben Kovacs, co-founder of Guardian Gym, a nonprofit martial arts academy with locations in Los Angeles, Baltimore, Ethiopia, and more, with a mission to empower youth through free access to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and mentorship. Ben shares the personal experiences that ignited his passion for community work and the story behind the gym's inception. From securing funding for their first location to building a culture rooted in connection rather than competition, Ben walks us through how Guardian Gym challenges the stereotypes surrounding combat sports. We explore the emotional, psychological, and social benefits that martial arts can offer, especially for at-risk youth, and discuss why BJJ is far more than a sport—it's a transformative tool for growth, self-respect, and community healing.

What's up, nerds? This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and passionate collector Sam Bracamonte. Sam shares the story of how he began his BJJ journey, the hard-earned lessons he's learned while climbing the ranks, and how he prepares mentally and physically for major competitions. We also dive into the challenges that come with training—nerves, injuries, and plateaus—and how he overcomes them. But Sam isn't just a grappler—he's also a serious Marvel Legends collector. He breaks down how his collecting passion began, shares his favorite releases, talks about the hunt for rare figures, and reflects on the highs and lows of building an epic collection. To wrap up, we explore the unexpected ways the BJJ and collector communities overlap, from shared camaraderie to the thrill of the chase. Whether you're on the mats or on the hunt for your holy grail, this episode's got something for you.   Thank you all for listening to and supporting the podcast.

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner are joined by Bruce Robertson, Scottish school leader and author of The Teaching Delusion series. Bruce shares his path from chemistry teacher to system leader, and what led him to write a trilogy of books on improving teaching in schools. Together, they explore the gulf between intention and implementation in school improvement, the dangers of gimmick-led practice, and the STAR framework. Bruce argues that genuine school improvement comes from a culture of deliberate, collective, and well-informed effort. The conversation covers everything from professional learning and teacher confidence to behaviour, consistency, and the power of a shared language around teaching.Bruce Robertson is the director of Next Level Educational, which focuses on high-quality professional development for teachers and school leaders. His best-selling and acclaimed books include The Teaching Delusion trilogy, Power Up Your Pedagogy, and Power Up Your Questioning. Bruce led Berwickshire High School as Headteacher from 2020 to 2024.

In this next installment from the Mid-America Trucking Show, we sit down with Raiko Graveran who has one of the most amazing stories you will ever hear. We also sit down with Twins, Carl & Peter Caporal who kept us entertained with their passion for the industry, their banter and amazingly positive attitudes.

Jorden snurrar, det vet vi. De företag som också snurrar och utvecklar sig tendrar att skapa långsiktig överlevnad, det vet vi också. I tider av osäkerhet är snurren och verkligheten dock ofta oförutsägbar och svår att anpassa sig till. Vad är då rätt medicin?

Well, hello, again. This week on the podcast, I sit down with grappler Phille Eriksson, whose journey on and off the mats is nothing short of inspiring. After facing severe health challenges that led to an ileostomy, Phille refused to let his circumstances define him—or stop him from returning to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. From his first day on the mats to the emotional rollercoaster of surgery and recovery, Phille shares how he is adapting to life with a stoma and how this will effect his game, modifying his gear, and finding strength in the support of his family and team. Together, we dive deep into the physical and mental toll of living and training with an ostomy, confronting misconceptions and redefining what resilience looks like in the grappling community. Phille opens up about the importance of representation, the role BJJ plays in healing, and how he is working his way back—not just as a grappler, but as a symbol of what's possible. Whether you're a fellow practitioner, someone facing health battles, or simply a fan of stories that challenge limits, this episode is a testament to the power of grit, adaptation, and community.

What's up, friends? This week on the podcast, I welcome back David Riedman—Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, writer, and creator of the Rules of BJJ Substack. In this episode, David breaks down key topics from his articles, including what every grappler should know before stepping onto the mats for the first time. We explore the dangers of mindless drilling and the difference between volume and intentionality in training. David also unpacks how analytics and data can shape the future of Jiu-Jitsu performance, offering a look at how elite teams already apply metrics (whether consciously or not). Plus, we dive into the parallels between surfing and BJJ, and how his time on the waves helped him better understand flow, pressure, and presence on the mats. Whether you're a white belt or a black belt, this episode delivers practical advice, nuanced discussion, and thoughtful reflections that will sharpen your training and deepen your appreciation for the art.

What's up, people? This week on the podcast, I sit down with the profoundly inspiring Adisa Banjoko—a true renaissance man whose life bridges martial arts, music, philosophy, and youth empowerment. As the founder of Hip Hop Chess Federation and 64 Blocks, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, philosopher, author, educator, and podcaster, Adisa brings a wealth of knowledge and perspective to the conversation. We explore his journey through martial arts and hip-hop, the creation of the HHCF and how it spawned 64 Blocks, and how chess, BJJ, and lyrical expression combine to elevate at-risk youth. Adisa shares powerful stories about mentorship, the mental game of jiu-jitsu, and the role Stoic philosophy plays in life both on and off the mats. We also dig into his community-focused initiative, 64 Blocks, and what it means to build programs that cultivate resilience, creativity, and responsibility. From chaining submissions to composing rhymes, Adisa draws surprising parallels between combat and art—and he even reveals what's more mentally taxing: rolling with a world champ or playing a deep chess match. This episode is packed with wisdom for coaches, grapplers, creatives, and anyone striving to live with greater purpose and presence.

What's up and welcome back, folks. This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Eli Adams, martial artist and host of the Combat and Coaching Podcast, for a wide-ranging conversation that blends pop culture and personal insight. We kick things off with a deep dive into our mutual love for comic books, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and The Walking Dead, before shifting gears into something many grapplers can relate to—getting back to the gym after time away. Eli opens up about the anxiety and internal resistance that can come with returning to martial arts training, as well as the challenges of finding that spark again when motivation runs low. We talk about managing social exhaustion, the emotional toll of coaching, and the meaningful responsibility that comes with being a mentor. To wrap things up, we geek out over recent horror releases like Final Destination: Bloodlines and Sinners, comparing notes and sharing early impressions. Whether you're here for the mats or the movies, this one's got a little bit of everything.   To keep up with Eli and his continued journey, you can follow him on Instagram at @eli.adams and to keep up with the podcast, follow @combatandcoachingpodcast   We want to shout out @johnsfitmeals Head over and use promo code Mad10, and you'll get 10% off.   Thank you, again, to everyone for listening to and supporting the podcast up to this point.

SUMMARY In this episode of Whistlekick Martial Arts Radio, Jeremy and Andrew engage in a lively debate about the merits of hardwood floors versus matted floors in martial arts training. They share personal experiences, discuss the pros and cons of each surface, and explore how these choices impact safety, realism, and training effectiveness. The conversation delves into subjective preferences and the versatility of training spaces. TAKEAWAYS The discussion is not about which surface is better. Hardwood floors are generally more stable and easier to clean. Matted floors are considered safer for certain techniques. Training on hardwood can feel more connected to the ground. The energy of a training space can influence performance. Training intensity should dictate the choice of surface. Accessibility of training spaces is a key consideration.       This episode is sponsored by Martialytics.
