🥋 What does it really mean to be like water in business, on the mats, and in life?

This week on Rolling Through Negotiations, we welcome Steve Kwan, host of the world’s most popular Jiu-Jitsu concepts podcast, BJJ Mental Models, a show that’s reshaped how thousands think about training, strategy, and growth in Jiu-Jitsu.

Key takeaways:

• The top 3 mental models every grappler and negotiator should know
• Why assertiveness (not aggression) is the real foundation of resilience
• How the 80/20 rule and Kaizen offer lessons far beyond the mat

This is an honest, grounded exchange between two curious minds who see every roll and every conversation as a chance to learn, adjust, and move forward with intention.

To learn more from Steve, listen to the BJJ Mental Models podcast and follow him on Instagram at @bjjmentalmodels.
