What up guys? Welcome. Thank you for joining us today. Today's podcast is going to be based on some of the reading that I was doing on a Sunday morning, some stuff from some stoic philosophy. And obviously you'll find all the connections to jih Tjitsu and training that we do. And obviously there's a lot of transferable ideas over to your life as well. I mean, a lot of times I feel like it's like that.

Jiu-jitsu, for a lot of us, gives us a chance to practice a lot of different things and experience a lot of different things and work on different attributes and skills that then transfer over to other aspects of our life off the mat, right?

Like I just had one of my old students who recently got accepted to pharmacy school or I think it's pharmacy school at, well, like a different college, I think in Marshall. And he was, he sent me a message. He was like, man, I don't think I would have the discipline and the like the resilience and all those things to deal with what we were dealing with if it wasn't for all those years of training and stuff that I did.

So, again, hopefully you guys enjoy it.

Big thanks to our sponsors for helping make the podcast happen.

Charlotte's Web, guys, in case you didn't know,

Charlotte's Web gave us a new code recently.

So if you guys would like to try some Charles Webb CBD, get one of the Tentures,

whether that's the regular CBD product they have or they have the THC free version for those of you that get tested.

Check out their options that they have.

And then if you want to save 30% on it, instead of the 20%, we now have a 30% coupon code with them. It's Chew J-Jitsu 30, C-E-W, J-I-T-S-U-3-0, and you can save 30% off your

order at checkout. So it's a great deal. And again, I encourage people to try their stuff

because it's a good product. They do a lot of good stuff with it. They put it under a lot

of scrutiny to make sure that they deliver a very pure and quality product. And again, it's a great

product that I think people can get a lot from. My personal use of it, I use it at nighttime when

I'm getting ready to go to bed as part of my nightly sleep hygiene routine. That's like one of those

things that's really important, you know, making sure that you get your sleep hygiene down. It

doesn't seem like a big deal.

But I feel like as you get older, that stuff becomes more and more important.

When I was younger, I feel like I could just fall asleep anywhere at any time.

Now I'm like, I have to be a little bit more focused on what I'm doing because things can keep me up a little bit easier.

I tend to not be able to just fall asleep on a dime like I did when I was younger.
