0:00.0	You're listening to Power Athlete Radio, a podcast dedicated to empowering your performance every
0:06.9	damn day. Join former NFL Pro and Power Athlete founder John Wellborn as he dissects the
0:13.5	greatest minds in strength, conditioning, and more. So whether your goal is to be the hammer,
0:19.3	destroy mediocrity, or simply move the dirt, you've
0:23.0	come to the right place. Now with the warm-up done, let the gains begin.
0:27.4	Hey, Power The Nation, time to belt up. We have a hard-hitting podcast today with Mr. Rafael
0:31.9	Levato. Lobato started his journey in martial arts at an early age. After cutting his teeth
0:36.4	in Jukundo, he made a move to Jiu-Jitsu, where the story begins. Presently, he's a fifth-degree jiu-jitzu black belt under Salo and Sanchi Hebero of six plates. He holds a distinction being part of the first American father-son duo to earn black belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Competition has always been important. So 20-plus years ago,
0:55.3	we started traveling to Brazil to compete. Let me tell you, it's uncommon for Americans to travel to
1:00.7	Brazil to compete and win today. Imagine what it was 20 years ago. But Lovato understood to be the best,
1:08.5	you have to train and compete with the best. Today he's one of the few in the world who can claim the title of world champion in Ghee and no Gigi Jiu Jitsu and MMA. His growth is a mentor and businessman is expanded into his own brand of Lovato Jiu-Jitsu schools with over 30 locations. He's active on social. He shares his knowledge from his home base academy in Oklahoma City and online
1:27.6	at timeless jiu-jitsu.com. Prepare yourself for Mr. Rafael Labato. I have some big plans. I'm going to be
1:34.2	releasing a book early next year, just finishing it up right now and then going to start the back-and-forth
1:41.4	edits and all that, which probably take me a good, basically
1:45.1	the rest of the year.
1:46.6	And then we get that out.
1:47.8	And I'm kind of hoping that that leads to a podcast of the same title.
1:54.7	Afterwards, I would love to...
1:56.5	What's the title?
1:58.5	Are you okay to drop it?
2:01.5	Well, you can say working title.
2:03.1	Yeah.
