Training in martial arts like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Judo, wrestling, & Muay Thai is my outlet for improving my mental health and becoming a better person.

On this twenty-first episode of the podcast, I chat with Mike Fowler. Mike is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and an academy owner on the North Shore of Hawaii. Mike is credited as being the 3rd fastest American to achieve a black belt... Achieving this massive goal in only 3.5 years. Known for his success as a competitor, Mike placed 4th in the 2007 ADCC and holds wins over some of the legends of the sport such as Renzo Gracie and Saulo Riberio.

Mike talks about the rewards that come from building your own home and gaining personal independence. He explains how his martial arts training enabled him to become a successful person who is capable of living life on his own terms.
