Jiu Jitsu teaches you that you shouldn’t avoid or hide from bad positions, or fight at all costs to avoid a bad position. 

Because one day, someone will put you in that position and it’s important that you’re prepared to deal with that.

In this episode, Lonnie Ogulnick speaks with Gui Valente, Jiu Jitsu instructor at Valente Brothers, about how his Jiu Jitsu journey began, how he was challenged growing up, and the growth of his positive mindset by being a Jiu Jitsu instructor.

Gui discusses:

  • What made him specialize in striking
  • What his childhood was like growing up in Brazil as the middle child
  • His advice of how to deal with stress in today’s society
  • A story of how his father gave him the mentality to not give up
  • And more

    Ruthie's Table 4

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
