Summary

Daniele Bolelli is a BJJ black belt, history professor, writer, and runs a popular history podcast called “History On Fire.”

Daniele shares his interest in studying history, how he learned to study more efficiently, the importance of ritual, not focusing too much on the results, the pros and cons of being a specialist, getting the most out of training BJJ 2-3 days per week, learning martial arts for sport and self-defense, how martial artists in history would stack up to martial artists today, Bruce Lee and his philosophies and relationship with success, and the dangers of pushing yourself too hard.

What's up guys?

0:00.7

So today on the podcast, we have a bit of a different guest.

0:03.4

He's a martial artist, in a black belt and jihitsu, as we pretty much always have a guest on, similar to that.

0:08.5

But he's also a history professor.

0:11.1

If you guys know me, if you've been around me long enough or listen to the podcast, you may have gotten an inkling that I'm a history geek.

0:17.9

That's when I read books, I typically have multiple books going.

0:22.5

I'll have, you know, my sort of business-related book, something for self-development of some sort.

0:29.8

And then there's almost always a history book.

0:31.2

My history book is my, it's my fun book.

0:34.2

It's the book that I read for my own enjoyment.

0:35.9

I typically read that at night.

0:37.1

That's the stuff I read for fun, just because I find it very interesting and fascinating. And today's on the podcast, and I'm going to butcher his name a little bit, but it's Deniali Bilelli.

1:18.0

going to talk to him today and again the podcast will be maybe a little different than the usual

1:22.5

just pure jih Toc which i think is fun i think you guys will enjoy it but there's definitely some

1:26.5

cool little nuggets of information that he shares about other subjects that again may be of interest to you.

1:32.1

So talk about Bruce Lee. He's done quite a bit of research on Bruce Lee. So that was for me,

1:35.8

it was like a huge, huge interest. So that was fun. Well, the Bruce Lee part was interesting because

1:40.2
