So somehow Nick and I were on the same mats together in NJ for about 4 hours one day for a seminar, and managed to never speak to each other until I moved down to Mexico.  While we may have missed our chance to do one of these in person for now, Nick and I have quite a bit to talk about.

In this one we touch on a bit of his story of leaving a corporate job that was making him miserable, his transition to selling diamonds in NYC, and now his latest life upgrade of going all-in on launching a jiu jitsu apparel brand and moving with his wife from New Jersey to the new jiu jitsu Mecca - Austin, Texas.

Please excuse some hiccups in the audio quality given that we recorded this over zoom. But as you'll also hear us discuss, it's all about progress, not perfection. I'm looking forward to our next go-around (with cleaner audio) and to see how this gentleman's very exciting life continues to unfold.

Find señor Nick on his personal IG @nickytaranta or peep his new brand @tarantasport
