The BizJitsu Podcast
We believe business, like Jiu Jitsu, is not easy, and success is not achieved alone. We value the results of learning, being courageous and authentic, the power of creativity, taking action, and achieving success. We exist to strengthen the BJJ community by creating relationships and referrals for BJJ-practitioner-owned businesses with others needing their products and services. We promise to deliver opportunities to network, both on and off the mat, through entertaining, inspirational, and educational content delivered through multiple media channels and events.
