There was a time not that long ago when a career in jiu-jitsu seemed like a fantasy for most people. This episode’s guest has recently moved from the world of stock trading to working at an academy full-time. 

Edgar Figueroa joins us to discuss how he went from not even thinking a career in jiu-jitsu was a possibility to making a monumental shift in his life, making the most out of an opportunity to take the martial art he loves and using it to carve out a new career path.

Here is The RŌL Radio with adult program manager at RŌL Academy, and first-degree black belt, Edgar Figueroa.
