The episode 1 release of the White Belt Mafia podcast was delayed as a result of my 2nd daughter being born in early December! For episode 1, I sit down with my dear friend Tyler Stanaway - Electric North Jiu Jitsu's very own stones & bones shaman. He's a loved and respected leader at Electric North Jiu Jitsu, helping to teach both kids and adult classes to develop and mentor a new wave of capable humans. Tyler's journey has been one of pain, hardship, anger, awakening, rebirth, growth, and ultimately love and selflessness. His jiu jitsu journey has mirrored this path, which we get into in this episode. We go back to his days as a brand new white belt, from which he shares a number of lessons and bits of wisdom that can benefit both new and seasoned practitioners. Links to Tyler's podcast, The Compassionate Viking, and Instagram username are below. His email is below for any inquiries about working with him for self-healing and discovery, forging workshops, questions about his podcast, or anything at all.
