Summary

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene answer the question of whether you should compare yourself to others in Jiu-Jitsu.

We discuss why you should compare processes and not results, how to transition to a different mindset when comparing yourself to others, why self-awareness is transformative, being selective in what you compare and how you compare yourself to others, and why you should question yourself and try to prove yourself wrong.
