We sit down and talk with my long time friend and head coach of Carlson Gracie Houston, Jared Chaffee. He recently branched out and opened his own jiu jitsu spot in Conroe, Texas. He has been a mainstay in the MMA community both as a competitor and a coach. More than all that he is a legit good guy that leads by example and puts people first. Thanks for you time Jaguar and hope everyone enjoys the interview.

We speak with Alex Morono ahead of his fight with former UFC world champion Anthony "Showtime" Pettis. Alex is coming off a impressive victory over Rhys McKee and has been given the green light to take on Showtime on 3 weeks notice.

Great chat with one of my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brothers Adam Laititi. We had a blast talking about everything from rugby to training a world class UFC fighter and everything in between. What pains me the most is that his time in the states is slowly drawing to an end but I will always have this chat with him by. Sit back, relax and hope you enjoy this episode of The Be Someone Podcast.

We sit down and have a chat with the engine behind Booker T's Reality of Wrestling. Kev takes us behind the curtain and shares with us his journey into the professional wrestling world. He has seen the business from a number of different angles, everything from fledgling performer to executive producer of one of the largest indy promotions in the game. Thanks Kev for stopping by and chatting with us at The Be Someone Podcast

We sit down and have a great chat with Gracie Barra professor and black belt Carlos Martinez. C- Los has been a long time training partner and instructor of mine at Gracie Barra The Woodlands. We dive into his background, how he was introduced to BJJ, and how he has crafted his game to compliment his age. He is a great example of how a practitioner should be able to age gracefully in this brutal combat sport. I am beyond blessed to call Carlos friend and coach. Hope you enjoy this episode of the Be Someone Podcast.

We have a great chat with two of the best coaches I know Kenneth Hepburn and Conway Waddy. On this episode we tackle a number of issues when it comes to the topic of working with our young athletes.

If you have young people in sports you will not want to miss out on this important and informative episode.

On this episode we chat with Richard Perez a gentleman who is on my Mount Rushmore of coaching greats. This man has a unique and special way in which he is able to connect with young people and get the most out of them. He is proof that an instructor can be equal parts demanding and loving. I was blessed to have my oldest daughter play and win a state championship under him and now watching him grow his new business the Fastpitch Barn. Join us for the interesting and thought provoking discussion, you will not be sorry.

Rex Andrews is a young man that is in a constant state of evolution. In the pro wresting world he rose to prominence at Booker T's Reality of Wrestling by honing his grappling skills and developing his character. He has taken that same approach into the fitness industry and built Pathways which takes a wholistic approach to living a healthy lifestyle.  Rex is not even close to being done in either venture and his best is yet to come.
