Excellent Work, I have enjoyed the Mix of Guests discussing they’re own Journeys into BJJ.

If I may offer a Guest suggestion,
If you could get a sit down with Maynard James Keenan of the band Tool Fame that would be a Huge get. I haven’t heard him discuss it more than once before on Rogan.

Anyway,Great Show!!

Great Podcast
