In this episode of the Coach 'Em Up Podcast, Tim Riley interviews jiu-jitsu star Nick Rodriguez. Nick shares his journey from wrestling to elite grappling and entrepreneurship.


Nick details how his wrestling background gave him a competitive edge in jiu-jitsu, leading to rapid success, including a World Championship silver medal in his first year. He explains his unique "anti-jiu-jitsu" style that leverages physicality and strategic positioning, emphasizing the mental toughness gained through wrestling.


Beyond the mat, Nick discusses leveraging his jiu-jitsu fame into business ventures like co-founding B Team Jiu-Jitsu, investing in Few Will Hunt apparel, and launching Carnejerky.com, his beef jerky company. He offers insights on social media branding, entrepreneurship, and balancing training with business pursuits.


The conversation explores the evolution of jiu-jitsu, the significance of mental presence during training, and provides practical advice for wrestlers transitioning to jiu-jitsu. Nick's work ethic and strategic mindset provide lessons for athletes and entrepreneurs alike.
