In this episode, I sit down with Robert Biernacki from Island Top Team! You may know Rob from his work with Stephan Kesting and he's got a great perspective to share on academy ownership and Jiu Jitsu in general.

We get into:

• Finding a balanace when coaching students who are training for fun that helps them improve but not feel picked on

• How to stay passionate about teaching when your room isn’t full of competitors

• Finding other ways to fill your cup as a coach

• Other avenues of business to create a living from teaching Jiu Jitsu

I enjoyed chatting with Rob, my only regret in the episode is not having enough time to get into the endless rabit holes Jiu Jitsu conversations can take.
