Tyler Vasquez and Adam Armbrecht are in talking Arizona Cardinals and the Black Monday that should bring some much needed change to organization. They kick things off with the news that first, the Cardinals will not be retaining Steve Keim which was shortly followed by the firing of Kliff Kingsbury. The question becomes will Cardinals fans only be satisfied if Sean Peyton is the next head coach? Tyler reads the tea-leaves from Mike Bidwell's press conference which might suggest the Arizona owner has learned form his previous mistakes. Following a brief detour into the Draft where the Cardinals secured the third overall pick, the guys welcome in Jake Arians who provides some sound, albeit disappointing perspective on what could be coming next for the Cardinals and if the fanbase should be cautiously optimistic.

Mike Bidwell, the President & CEO of Neighborly joins KRLD's David Johnson to discuss running a business in today's challenging economic climate.

Mike Bidwell is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and operates FloLifeBJJ+.  Mike created his BJJAfter40 brand to encourage, motivate, and create an online community for other older jiu-jitsu athletes. But, Mike's philosophies apply to much more than just jiujitsu. His commitment to living life on his own terms and being unapologetic about being authentic is something we can all draw inspiration from. Mike is known as an innovative jiujitsu instructor and content creator, spreading his love and passion for the art. He is fond of speaking about self-belief and intrinsic motivation, and how ultimately jiujitsu is just a tool for our self-development and the only true competition is with ourselves. “Your belief in yourself is your greatest strength or your toughest adversity. The ‘competition' is not the other person on the mat or your instructor standing before you….it's YOU, you are the competition.” Learn more about Mike's academy: https://flolifebjj.com/ BJJ After 40: https://www.youtube.com/user/bjjafter40/featured

Today's guest was already a black belt in a more traditional martial art and had his own martial arts school when he stepped onto the Jiu Jitsu mats for the first time. He became so obsessed with BJJ after that class, that when he returned to his school he informed his students that they would only be training BJJ from that moment on. Mike Bidwell then went on one of the more unique journeys in BJJ. Listen as he discusses that journey, how Jiu Jitsu can affect all aspects of life, his beliefs on how much belts matter, his teaching and coaching philosophy, why he spent 13 years as a brown belt, and so much more.Here is the RŌL Radio with the owner and instructor of Flow Life BJJ +, and the creator of BJJAFTER 40, Mike Bidwell.http://www.therolradio.comhttps://www.instagram.com/therolradio/https://www.facebook.com/therolradio/https://flolifebjj.com/https://www.youtube.com/user/bjjafter40/featuredhttps://www.instagram.com/bjjafter40/https://www.facebook.com/bjjafter40Episode Highlights:3:15 Pure Wisdom4:50 Trying to be a Ninja8:09 Jiu Jitsu Proves Itself17:51 Filtering Online Content24:23 Maturing within Jiu Jitsu27:37 13 Years as a Brown Belt36:36 Flow You43:02 Finding Your Passion47:18 Stuck in  Moment54:12 Applying Jiu Jitsu to Life1:02:04 Five Questions

He is a BJJ blackbelt and the mind, body, and soul behind FloLife BJJ both online and in his academy in Lakewood, Colorado and is the creator of BJJ after 40.

We discuss the importance of learning from everyone on our journeys through this dimension and how we can make the most of it. Enjoy folks! This one was super fun!

So happy to have Professor Mike Bidwell of www.BJJafter40.com talk with me about BJJ for men in their 40s, 50s and even 60s.It doesn't matter if you're 20 or 40.... The best is yet to come...(or the worst awaits) It starts by creating a sustainable BJJ / Martial Arts practice that serves YOU. That means addressing your mental, emotional and physical needs on and off the mats. Creating a ‘sustainable' path means that whatever you do in the present moment must outlive this moment. In other words, if you train real hard today you need to be able to walk tomorrow. That means building a training regime that enhances your physical and mental life.... NOT destroying it. Train smart today and best you awaits!

Mike Bidwell is a 38 year veteran of the martial arts with black belts in four styles, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. With multiple arms and multiple legs, he can attack from any position, thus endearing his moniker of The Spider Ninja.

Monty & Jake are talking Arizona Cardinals disfunction! Cardinals GM Steve Keim got a DUI on the 4th of July, Mike Bidwell, the owner of the team, used the team website and their "insider" to write a fluff piece on President Trumps SCOTUS nomination. Should Keim be fired? Should Bidwell have used the team site for political purposes? Papa Johns makes another HUGE PR mistake, and this time it may be fatal. The guys talk about the state of the Padres. Are the Padres on track? Monty says they are and Padres fans need to give the club another year to see some prospects. Are ticket prices in SD too high? The Yankees are said to be close on Manny Machado ...should they include Sheffield? Andujar? The announcement of "Joker Origin" has the guys fired up, but they are much more excited about the BMW 8 series! Follow the show on Twitter: @TheMontyShow
