After reading 37 whole pages of "The Black Swan" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, I try to apply it to my life and go down a 3 hour dividend ETF rabbit hole. I reexamine my life for instances of "Mediocristan" and "Extremistan" and how I can set myself up to take advantage of the positives of both, while covering the downsides.

Look at that, a whole year of doing this podcast, only active for 6 months though. Well, I'm back and the only way this is going to be consistent is that it's going to be me rambling about once a week on topics that I'm churning over in my head and relating them to Jiu-Jitsu.
I go off here on Ecological Dynamics (How We Learn to Move by Rob Gray) and "Fooled by Randomness" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

This was a fun one! Gabe turned the tables on me and interviewed me for his Youtube series, "A White Belt Experience".
We run the gamut of talking about my journey to ADCC Trials round of 16, how I've conceptualized and learned Jiu-Jitsu, how I relate it to Software Development, and of course my favorite buzzword: Ecological Jiu-Jitsu.

I talk about the stakes of grappling competitions and how the incentives of "professional" paid and unpaid shows do not necessarily align with the best interests of the competitors, particularly in the realm of injuries sustained during competitions.
To put it more straightforward: there should be a common understanding, a "Gentlemen's Agreement", between competitors to take care of each other by allowing them a chance to tap and save their joint health for another day.
