Rolling, Rocking, Boxing and the NEPA Bar Scene!!! Ep. 056: Mike Baresse

In this episode, I sit down with my new (but longtime familiar) friend Mike Baresse to talk all things Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the Northeast Pennsylvania scene. Mike shares his unique journey that blends martial arts with music—from coaching boxing and training on the mats to organizing concerts, booking bands, and keeping live music alive in the region. We dive into how our paths overlapped for years without ever actually meeting, until now. A great conversation about grit, creativity, community, and the unexpected ways lives intersect.
