Hey, guys, before this episode, a quick pause to share an update on the podcast.

So after the Sahuto documentary went live back in April, and for those of you haven't listened to

the the Sahuto experiment, go back and listen to it. Yours truly was a little burnt out,

needed a little bit of a break. So if you've noticed, we haven't had a podcast in a couple weeks,

but we're back now. And what we're going to do is one episode a week until the season starts.

And then once the season fires up, we'll be back to two episodes a week.

So thank you for allowing for the break, and I'm excited to give you a new episode today

with the great Tom Ryan. Let's get to it.

We can endure anything and adapt and pivot and change.

Wrestling gave us that ability. I would say nothing in life has impacted me

the things wrestling has taught me in terms of self-reflection, resilience. Stop this.

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

and basically the lessons I've learned to the sport of wrestling. For me wrestling saying

a life because it allowed me to focus and channel my energy.

We're fortunate if you wrestled because if you wrestled, natural talent helps,

but it's 5% of the ingredient. It pales in comparison to heart and technique and effort.

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

I think it's the learning to adapt, right? You learn how to adapt. You learn how to solve problems.

If I look back my time, that's good wrestling. If you give me one thing more than anything else,

it's mental toughness.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the wrestling change my life podcast.
