15 BJJ Principles to Outsmart, Outmaneuver, & Outlast Anyone | Ep 47

I've spent 36 years in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — competing, winning world titles (and losing them), and learning from every moment on the mat. In this episode, I'm sharing 15 battle-tested strategies for achieving victory in grappling, business, and life. Winning isn't about overpowering your opponent — it's about positioning, timing, adaptation, and psychology. Whether you're a competitor looking to sharpen your game or an entrepreneur trying to outmaneuver the competition, these principles have helped me build and sell businesses, lead a major nonprofit, and succeed across multiple arenas. If you're a grappler, you'll find direct application on the mat. If you're in business, I break down how to generalize these principles for success.Subscribe and never miss a new episode.Topics & People Mentioned:Grace Hopper - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_HopperWayne Gretzky - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_GretzkyApple Inc. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc.Nokia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NokiaBlackBerry - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_LimitedMotorola - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MotorolaSteve Jobs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_JobsAmazon Web Services (AWS) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Web_ServicesIBM - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBMHP - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Inc.Microsoft - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicrosoftJohn Will - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Will_(martial_artist)Rigan Machado - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigan_MachadoJean Jacques Machado - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Jacques_MachadoGeorge St-Pierre (GSP) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_St-PierreGene LeBell - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_LeBellSouthwest Airlines - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_AirlinesUnited Airlines - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_AirlinesAmerican Airlines - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_AirlinesDelta Air Lines - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_LinesGoogle - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoogleAmazon Fresh - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_FreshInstacart - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InstacartCoors Brewing Company - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coors_Brewing_CompanyFacebook - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FacebookInstagram - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InstagramWhatsApp - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WhatsAppX (formerly Twitter) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Corp.Hershey's - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hershey_CompanySkinnyPop - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkinnyPopPirate's Booty - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate%27s_BootyMusic “Disambiguation” by Robel Borja https://open.spotify.com/artist/7j0DUZ79z4edeLkU2H1UoJ?si=eISl0YfaQ-yLThljs48j5AGet in touch!
