This week we're joined again by 3x world champ and Marcelo Garcia black belt, Emily Kwok!  Fresh off winning the 2022 Pans, Emily joins us to talk about what it's like to compete after the age of 40.  A great chat about what competition looks like as you get older, take on more responsibilities, become more concerned about your health, and achieve a broader life perspective.
