Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#275 Kris Olivo
Q: But then explain to me, why is this so difficult when we are in the moment?
I think it comes down to control. People don't like uncertainty and people like to control everything around them. And I think the moment you let go of control, you allow flow.
#275 Kris Olivo
Q: Do you feel like things happen for a reason, or are we in charge of our destiny essentially?
I think we have a certain level of control. I think our ability to get lucky relies somewhat on us, right? Like if you're constantly showing up, constantly putting in an effort, then you're more likely to get lucky.
Eddie Kone #180 Re-release
Q: How do you feel about the explosion of no-gi, and why do you think the gi is still important?
Eddie believes that gi and no-gi are one and the same, and emphasizes that training with the gi is essential for developing technical skills in Jiu-Jitsu. He cites Hoyler Gracie, who trained in the gi even before his MMA fights, as an example of its importance in technical development.
#272 Benjamin Chen
Q: So why do you think we overcomplicate things so much when the simple truth is right in front of us?
The truth is scary because it makes you confront uncomfortable realities about your life.
#272 Benjamin Chen
Q: Was that decision difficult for you? I mean, I would imagine coming from a traditional family like this where a path is almost carved out for you in a sense.
It was incredibly difficult and I was afraid of disappointing my parents.
