Welcome to the show folks. This is wrestling changed my life. Here we go.

I don't think there could have been a better podcast for me to be on to tell my story because

like wrestling was the turning point in my life and I don't usually do podcasts but I saw this one I was like I gotta I gotta talk to this guy.

We can endure anything and adapt and pivot and change.

Wrestling gave us that ability.

I would say nothing in life has impacted me more than the things wrestling has taught me in terms of self-reflection,

resilience.

Toughness.

Some guys have it, some guys don't.

Adversity, 100% how to pick myself up and be a man after I failed.

And everything that has shaped my life

and where I'm at today would not be there without the values

and basically the lessons I've learned through the sport of wrestling.

For me you wrestle saving my life because it allowed me to focus and channel my energy.

We're fortunate if you wrestle because if you wrestle

natural talent helps but it's 5% of the ingredient

it pales in comparison to heart and technique and effort.

It humbled me. Thought me humility. Nothing can humble you more than wrestling.

I think it's the learning to adapt right you learn you learn how to

adapt you learn how to solve problems you know if I look back my time that's good wrestling

if they gave me one thing more than anything else, it's a myth toughness.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the one and only wrestling change.
