Chris Fensom - How to leave your ego at the door

My guest on today's podcast is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, Chris Fensom. We've known each other for a long time now and he's a real goldmine of wisdom and insights. When I was going to his classes he would regularly drop a thought bomb that would stop me in my tracks, and I wanted to see if we could capture some of that essence in today's conversation.   Typically, Chris came to the interview armed with questions for me! So what you're about to listen to is very much a 2 way conversation which was great fun to record!   They say that a BJJ black belt is a white belt who never quit, as it typically takes over 10 years to get there. Chris is also an analyst for Battle Arena TV on Sky, a former ISKA British MMA Champion at middle weight and light heavy weight, coaches more than 200 kids in karate, and is a proud father to 4 of his own.   We talk about failures and mistakes, ego and the Beginner's Mind, Stoic philosophy and SAS Who Dares Wins, parenting and why I never post pictures of my kids on social media - which was one of his questions!   Find out more about Chris's classes here: https://a1martialarts.co.uk
