Send us Fan Mail On this episode, Matheus Lutes joins us to discuss his road from one of the Jiu Jitsu world’s top competitors to a new academy owner. Matheus knew from the time he was a purple belt that he would be an academy owner and he never had a Plan B. Today he describes how everything he did while training and competing was to help him achieve his goal of owning a world-class gym and how he made his vision for his family’s future into a reality. He also describes how he dealt with the pressure he put upon himself to achieve his goals on and off the mats and how the setbacks he faced made him the successful person he is today.
