This week’s guest made a name for himself in the grappling world by winning a 250 man qualifying tournament for Kasai’s Elite Grappling Championship. A purple belt at the time, he defied the odds by not only winning but submitting four black belts along the way.
But overcoming the odds is nothing new for him. Child abuse, drug abuse, and injury are just some of the obstacles he has overcome on his way to achieving his goals of becoming a fighter and Jiu Jitsu black belt. On this episode, he discusses his incredible journey and what it took for him to overcome many of the things that would break most people.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
