Host Pete Deeley welcomes Coral Belt Professor Dave Meyer to The Jiu Jitsu Mindset, noting Meyer's Ageless Warrior Lab podcast and his animal welfare work. Meyer explains he began ujitsu jat age six, making it inseparable from his identity, and says martial arts discipline and strategy improved his effectiveness in animal welfare, where he raised $160 million. He connects martial arts ethos—being "the help," defending the weak, and controlling ego—to his choice to advocate for animals, reinforced by his religious upbringing's "repair the world" ethic. Meyer discusses prioritizing time (including choosing not to have a TV), a pivotal wake-up from a cousin's tragic death, and why Jiu Jitsu learning requires partners and constant failure. He argues competition is optional but valuable for stress, learning, and adrenal response, shares memorable matches (including a superfight with Fabio Santos), mentions mentoring Brian Johnson's Seattle school, and briefly recounts playing pop-rock in late-1980s LA.
