#26 | Are You a Faucet or a Drain? w/ Robert Wunderlich

In this episode Anya hosts 3rd Degree Black belt in Jiu-Jitsu and Certified Uncivilized Men’s Coach, Robert Wunderlich. Robert is building a method to combat isolation and loneliness by fostering a deep connection with oneself and others and his mission is to teach that to as many people as he can.When I think of what a fighter is, I think of two things; the warrior and a lover. Not many people think about love in the context of fighting. Robert beautifully represents this duality and in this episode we came together to explore the topics of loneliness, connection, and some real talk on what we as modern humans are struggling with. We hit on blind spots, what ‘doing the work’ actually means, the industrial revolution, and modern feminism. Robert also lays out the 5 points of connection and how to combat loneliness in a very specific way. Robert has a Master’s Degree in Anthropology and worked as a project archeologist for roughly 20 years primarily within the western United States. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2004 under Professor David Ruiz. He competed in local and international tournaments and traveled the country as a referee for F2W Pro. He currently operates the Shokunin Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Association and The Academy of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Arvada in Arvada, Colorado. Resources:Of Boys and Men -  Book by Robert ReevesTraver Boehm - Mentor & Founder of Uncivilized NationDuey Freeman - Mentor & Tenured TherapistGet in Touch:Connect with Robert on IG hereSchedule a call with Robert here_______________________________If you like what you heard then click subscribe today and don’t miss an episodeYou can also watch the episodes on youtube hereFollow your host Anya Shakh on Instagram @anyashakh
