Summary

Normal Friday Q and A for today with three listener submitted questions:

Question 1: A 34-year-old white belt shares his early experiences in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, feeling both the thrill and frustration of starting something new later in life. What are some tips for new practitioners, advice for overcoming initial hurdles, and whether attending advanced seminars is beneficial or overwhelming for beginners.

Question 2: A recent adventure in Switzerland's Lauterbrunnen Valley prompts a listener to reflect on balancing thrill-seeking activities with parental responsibilities. Are the mental and emotional challenges of pursuing high-risk sports worth it? How can you ensure family safety and also set a courageous example for your children?

Question 3: A 27-year-old from the UK, navigating major life changes, seeks advice on becoming the best possible father and husband after an unexpected pregnancy shortly after leaving a career in finance.

0:00.0	Oh yes, hello. We're back. It's Friday. Nothing out of the ordinary. Today, we're just going to get right into it.
0:07.6	I don't know what number full-out of Friday this is. I gave up trying to count a long time ago. I don't know why. I have no explanation for that other than does it really matter what number it is. I'm going to keep doing them as long as questions keep coming in.
0:20.0	So, yeah, away we go.
0:23.0	Okay, got the red smoke.
0:25.0	Roger, sun runs, north and south, west of the smoke.

0:35.0	All one of them, it's given to me. I made it. You're clear hot.
0:40.0	Copy, clear hot. All right, I have three questions for today. I think relatively distinct in nature or different in nature to say the least and let's just dive right in. Question one.

1:16.3	I could have found it in my 20s and 30s.
1:18.7	But I was so against it because the people I know who were doing it were it so dogmatic and so excited about it that my natural response was no I'm not doing that and now I look back and consider myself to be an idiot.
1:33.3	Moving on.
1:34.3	I understand I have much to learn, which became abundantly clear
1:36.7	as I was getting smothered on the bottom, not having a clue what to do next.
