In this new episode we speak with IBJJF medalist and No-Gi World Champion Joe Dierkhising.  We learn how Joe has taken the skills he has learned in Jiu Jitsu and applied them to his career as a geophysicist, and how the pressures of competing on the big stages can help in other aspects of life. We get into the Ryan vs Galvao match, and even Joe's next move into MMA.  Its a great and thoughtful discussion, hope you enjoy.
