During the 2008 recession, Dane had to move his family into his sister’s garage. At his lowest point, he thought about ending his life and giving his life insurance payout for his family. In our podcast, he shared how jujitsu woke up the champion in him and saved his mind, marriage, career, and ultimately his life.
