  • Love this podcast

    Dave hosts a great podcast that focuses on so many things other than just Jiu Jitsu or martial arts in general. I love the guests he also has on. Being one of the Dirty Dozen, he knows so much history and has access to so much history with Jiu Jitsu in the US. Congrats on your coral belt Dave! Keep this thing going because you have something special!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Martial Arts, War Zones & Telling a Legend's Story | Peter Maguire EP 43
Q: How did your early experiences with different Jiu-Jitsu lineages shape your approach to teaching and competing?
The differences were instructional; Hickson's attention to foundation and tailored coaching showed me that successful teaching hinges on adapting to the student while preserving core principles, which I now apply by focusing on fundamentals and personal growth rather than chasing trend moves.
Eric Ries: Building Companies That Promote Prosperity With a Purpose | EP 39
Q: What practical steps can job seekers take to assess whether a company is truly mission-driven?
Ask directly about mission in the charter and governance documents; review whether the company prioritizes mission before profits in decision-making, compensation, and investments. If non-public, follow up with questions about governance and whether the mission is embedded in portfolio decisions, employee ownership, or foundations-like ownership to ensure alignment with human flourishing.
Eric Ries: Building Companies That Promote Prosperity With a Purpose | EP 39
Q: How can a company protect itself from the entropic pull toward short-term gains?
By adopting architectural protections like mission-aligned governance, employee ownership, and foundation-controlled structures, which align incentives with long-term care for customers, employees, and the world. Also by making learning and trust visible as assets (innovation accounting and the culture bank) to ensure long-term value creation rather than short-term exploitation.
Eric Ries: Building Companies That Promote Prosperity With a Purpose | EP 39
Q: What is the nature of corruption in modern capitalism, and how does it differ from mission drift?
Corruption is when economic coercion and disinformation undermine value creation, especially when profit is pursued at the expense of customers, employees, and communities. It's not just bribery; it includes deceptive practices, coercive market behavior, and extracting value without true contribution. The antidote is rethinking profit as aligned with human flourishing and building durable systems that resist extractive incentives.
Erik Paulson: First American Shooto World Champion & MMA Pioneer | Combat Submission Wrestling Ep 36
Q: What is your philosophy on training breadth versus specialization?
I advocate learning from many sources to build a synthesized skill set, but crucially you must first master the basics across disciplines before attempting to merge them into a unified system.
