  • Ep. 46: Braulio Estima - The Journey, Mindset & Philosophy of Becoming A Champion

    In this episode of the Being Human podcast I sat down with Braulio Estima.


    Braulio Estima is one of the greatest grapplers of all time. He is a 3 time IBJJF World Champion, 3 time ADCC World Champion (putting him in the ADCC hall of fame) and 2 time UAEJJ World Champion - amongst many other accomplishments.


    Braulio shared his journey through the sport of jujitsu. In particular he shared:

    - How he overcame the devastating neck injury that left him paralysed, to go and win one of the biggest matches of his career.

    - The story of his rivalry with Jacare Souza.

    - Whether he thought he would be a world champion when he first started training.

    - The philosophies and mindsets he has used to achieve his full potential not just in the sport of BJJ, but life as a whole.

    And a great deal more.


    I hope you enjoy the conversation.

  • Ep. 37: The Multiverse | The Existence of God | Free Will vs. Determinism - Jack Lawrence

    In this 37th episode of the Being Human podcast, I sat down with Jack Lawrence.


    Jack is an online content creator whose content centres around philosophy and physics. Jack studied Natural Sciences as an undergraduate at Oxford University, and then studied his masters in the Philosophy of Physics at Cambridge University. Therefore it is needless to say he is well educated on the subject matter of his content.


    This was a full on, Being Human, existential extravaganza.


    Jack shared:

    - Whether ‘the multiverse’ is physically possible.

    - Whether the laws of physics allow for the existence of God.

    - What science has to say when it comes to free will vs. determinism.

    - His top 3 philosophies for navigating life.

    - The 5 philosophers he would invite to his dinner party.

    - The quirky college initiations of Oxford and Cambridge University.

    And a whole lot more!


    Buckle up, and get ready to get existential and confused.
