Guess who's back? Back Again - tell a friend. Friends of the pod, multiple time guests, Greg Souders and Noah Shaffner are back to talk about all kinds off things with Jiu Jitsu just being a small part of this fun conversation. It' always great to have the guys in the studio. We hope you enjoy it.

Marty Chavez is computer scientist, entrepreneur, partner and vice chairman of Sixth Street Partners, board member at Alphabet Inc, The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and the Stanford Medicine Board of Fellows. And that just scratches the surface. In addition to all of his work, and what brings him to Thanks for Rolling is his love of Jiu Jitsu.  We were lucky enough to have Marty give us some of his time to talk about his journey, his passion for jiu jitsu, along with his philosophies for making time for the things you love. This is a really fun conversation with a fascinating guest. Thank you Marty!

Jeff and Pat are back in the studio - but this time without an agenda. In this episode they just catch up and cover a bunch of different topics including discussing if Jeff still love's jiu jitsu, Pat's love of Linking Park, the Rubber Bones Google kits and more. This is a fun one.

The guys breakdown the weekend at ADCC 2024.

Lawrence Macari - One of the students at 10th Planet Springfield joins us on the pod. Lawrence takes us through his super interesting life journey, with stops for pastries, coffee, and then finally jiu jitsu. (Keep and eye/ear out for the Costa Rican Sock!)

Greg Souders is the head coach of Standard Jiu Jitsu and one of the leading advocates for using ecological dynamics and a constraints lead approach to Jiu Jitsu training. With him today is returning guest and one of his students, Noah Shaffner. After teaching a coaching clinic at 10th Planet Springfield, Greg and Noah sit down to record a pod that touches on a host of topics from Greg's many podcast appearances to us appealing to LMNT to give Noah a sponsorship. This was a great conversation, and maybe a side of Greg that not everyone gets to see!

Friend of 10P Springfield, Athletic Trainer, Jiu Jitsu Practitioner, and part of the team at Varsalus - Lindsay Scuoteguazza joins the pod to talk about her career as an athletic trainer, her engagement with the local competition scene, how important it is to have a someone understand your sport before treatment, and much much more.

Pop was up in the area to compete with the team as a part of the recent Enigma quintet and took the time to teach a seminar to the crew at 10th Planet Springfield. Chris is always great to talk to, enjoy!
