Ever feel your routine is the only thing keeping everything together—and the first thing life tries to break? I open up about being a hardcore routine machine, why early mornings create real margin before the day’s “traffic,” and how a two-week trip to Brazil threatens to derail my schedule for training, jiu-jitsu, and work. Instead of bracing for chaos, I share the mindset shift that changes everything: turn O’s into...
What if the smallest possible step could flip your whole day? That’s the spark behind this conversation, where a single cue from jiu-jitsu—keep moving—turns a frustrating slump into a surge of momentum you can actually feel.
