Summary
In today's episode we dive deep into the life of Kyle Watson, a remarkable figure in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community. Throughout the podcast we uncover Kyle Watson's story from his first in-ring bar fight, to becoming a successful-world renowned-Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Competitor and stepping into the UFC's Ultimate Fighter TV show, and eventually landing in his current role as a Gym/Business Owner and Lead-Professor at his very own, Watson Martial Arts facility.
And as he tells his story, he shares lessons, insights, and practices that he's picked up on from the sport of BJJ, the pursuit of owning a business, and being a leader that is literally shaping an entire community in St. Louis.
