0:00.0 | What's up guys? So today on the podcast, we have Devante Johnson. He is a black belt under Marillo Santana under Unity Jiu-Jitsu. He's an accomplished competitor. He's won a lot of stuff starting all the way back to when he was a blue belt and purple belt. And he's won a lot of competitions along the way. I've met him a few times out in the circuit, you know, super nice guy. |
0:21.6 | And so I wanted to have him on the show and talk to him and sort of see how he got started |
0:25.1 | in Jiu-Jitsu and see how he got going with everything. |
0:27.1 | And he's got an interesting story because at least it was something that I kind of related |
0:31.0 | to is, you know, his guy grew up, single parent, poor, and, you know, was able to get into Jiu-Jitsu and allowed his work ethic |
0:39.4 | and his consistency to show other people that he was serious and they were able to help him |
0:43.5 | out along the way, which is something we kind of get into. |
0:45.4 | It's something that I relate to a lot. |

0:51.1 | Big thanks to our sponsors. |

1:00.7 | are for Jess. Jess loves the raspberry sleep gummies. They have, you know, obviously CBD in them as |
1:06.5 | well, but they also have melatonin. And she loves these things. She says that whenever she uses them, |
1:11.5 | she just seems to sleep a little bit more like a rock |
1:15.0 | than when she's not using them. |
1:16.6 | And so, again, I'm really impressed by their products. |
1:20.2 | And so I tell people, and this is my challenge to you, |
1:23.4 | if you've never tried CBD before, |
1:25.8 | just try it for a month and see what happens. |
1:27.7 | You know, the first time that I ever used CBD was back in 2018, or no, 2017, excuse me. |
1:34.2 | I was using it. |
