On this episode of the podcast, we are joined by BJJ Black Belt and Founder of the non-profit organization "Tap Cancer Out."

Jon discusses starting Jiu-Jitsu in 2008, why earning a blue belt had significant meaning, dealing with "imposter syndrome" in BJJ, how "Tap Cancer Out" started and the process of running a tournament, the challenges of running a Jiu-Jitsu non-profit business, finding the best beneficiaries to support cancer, the importance of delegating and having a strong team, the "feel" of a "Tap Cancer Out" tournament, the idea of "more than medals, " masculinity and "bro-ism" in Jiu-Jitsu, growing funding for cancer research outside of tournaments through "Global Grappling Day," how to fund raise for "Tap Cancer Out," and goals for the future.
