This week we talked with Sean Fallon. If you are looking for a challenging and heavy round, look no further. Sean is one of the very first people I ever rolled with and helped introduce me to the world of jiu jitsu. He gives us his perspective on ego and how letting it go can help improve your game. We also talk about how some of the best rounds are flow rounds, where you get lots of movement and get into the flow state of mind. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

He has been one of my training partners for the last year or so, and unfortunately, he will be leaving us and moving on to the next phase in his life and career on the East Coast. I'm glad we had the opportunity to sit down and talk about how his Jiu Jitsu game has evolved during his time with North Coast and his plan to restart training once he gets settled in at his new place. We hope you enjoy the show!
