Happy New Year, folks. This week on the podcast, I welcome back Blu Mays, the voice behind the Instagram account @neurodivergent_grappler. We dive into her experiences as a grappler navigating neurodiversity, her use of an ADHD Coach to help manage ADHD and the transformative power of positive thinking.

Blu shares insights on reframing challenges and finding unique approaches to growth, and we point out how the children's book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie mirrors the ADHD experience.

We also discuss the importance of training at a gym that fosters a supportive and light-hearted environment—a place where everyone can thrive on and off the mats.

Whether you're a grappler, neurodivergent, or simply looking for inspiration, this episode will leave you motivated to approach life and training with a fresh perspective.

What's up, folks? This week on the podcast, I sit down with my teammate and competitor, Marv Green, for an honest and inspiring conversation.

We kick things off with a candid chat about awkwardness and anxiety, setting the stage for Marv to share his journey into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He opens up about what first inspired him to step onto the mats, how BJJ has transformed his confidence, and the supportive family he’s found at Crazy 88 MMA.

Marv also dives into the nerves he faced when competing, the lessons he’s learned from defeat, and how the discipline of jiu-jitsu has impacted both his personal and professional life. Whether you’re a grappler or just someone looking for a boost of inspiration, this episode is packed with relatable moments and valuable insights.

Tune in to hear Marv’s story, his reflections on competition, and why the jiu-jitsu journey is about so much more than just the wins.
