Chris was a really cool guest to have on the show. I've known Chris for almost 3 years, almost entirely as someone who coaches me and trains with me in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). Recently though I've gotten to know him much better and witness him make some significant life changes (quitting his job to focus on BJJ, starting his own business, competing against top level fighters, etc.). I also know him as a dad who cares a lot about his kids and is willing to do the extra, at times uncomfortable, work to try and do right by them. For those reasons I was really excited to learn more about his values and perspective on life. 

We had a really good conversation (with some minor technical difficulties- sorry for a couple of rough edits) where we explored his most important value- time (and specifically trying to optimize it). We talked about why trying to optimize our time can be so obviously good but also so hard to do. We also talked about how Chris thinks through making prioritization decisions, given the impacts it might have on him, his business, and his family. Overall, we talked about a lot of good philosophical perspectives on how to try and live a happy life. It was a really fun and insightful discussion for me and I hope you guys really enjoy it too.
