Sage Bender is one of the most impressive 23-year olds I have met to date.
Here's just a few things he's done:
• Became a black belt in Jiu Jitsu at 21 years old, a feat that typically takes 10-20 years to achieve.
• Founded Nomad Jiu Jitsu Club, his very own jiu jitsu and MMA gym based in Florida.
• Amassed over 1.2M followers across social media.
This episode goes DEEP on the importance of discipline, avoiding excuses, and how he manages his time effectively. This is a must listen for any young entrepreneur looking to become a stud in every area of their life.
