EP147 — Experience Matters: You Don’t Get Better by Avoiding (w/ Samer)


Listen Later

Lets us know your thoughts thru TEXT!

A comeback, a gut-check, and a blueprint for doing hard things on purpose.


In this episode, I break down how six months of Brazilian jiu-jitsu stripped away ego, exposed blind spots, and rebuilt confidence from the ground up. No shortcuts, no highlight reels—just the slow burn of intentional reps that turn panic into poise.


We explore the subtle ways real learning happens: your body recognizing patterns before your mind can name them, training partners becoming unexpected teachers, and the right room turning courage into a habit.


But this conversation isn’t really about BJJ. It’s about becoming the kind of person who shows up with intention, protects their environment, and builds health as the foundation for everything else. We dig into practical mindset shifts—why attendance isn’t intention, why the only person worth comparing yourself to is day-one you, and what to do when progress feels invisible.


It’s not about being like us. It’s about becoming the best you.

And that only happens when you intentionally place yourself in positions where you will intelligently fail.


The real question is this:

Will you have the courage to keep showing up even when results aren’t visible yet?

Most won’t. Most quit. Most claim, “I tried my best,” while knowing deep down they didn’t give themselves enough time to gather evidence—evidence of discipline, evidence of consistency, evidence that change was already happening.


I use my own life as an example, but the values and lessons here apply to any path, any craft, any pursuit worth doing.


Tune in and enjoy the episode.
