🥋 How do structure, discipline, and self-awareness create better leaders on and off the mats?

In this episode of Rolling Through Negotiations, we sit down with Thomas Rozdzynski, 3rd Degree Black Belt, Judo Black Belt, owner and head instructor of RŌL Academy of Jiu Jitsu, Host of The RŌL Radio, and Creator of RŌL TV. With decades of experience as a student, instructor, and leader, Thomas shares how the principles of Jiu Jitsu shape not only how we train, but how we teach, lead, and connect.

Key Takeaways:

• Keep it Simple to Build Trust: Thomas breaks down why clarity, not complexity is key to better communication and stronger relationships.
• Coaching is Negotiation: From the dojo to leadership teams, Thomas reveals how asking better questions and listening more closely opens doors in any conversation.
• The Mat Reflects the Mind: If you're negotiating from fear or tension, it shows. Thomas explains how to stay grounded, even under pressure.

This is an honest, real, and powerful conversation with one of the most respected voices in the Jiu Jitsu community.
