What does it mean to be a warrior in your life? Do your insecurities distract you or keep you stuck in stupid pissing matches? And is it possible to train ourselves so that we can be calm in hell? If you’re even remotely familiar with the world of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu then you know that Rickson Gracie is nothing short of a legend. But beyond the mats, Rickson’s wisdom runs deep, and he has so much to offer for those who don’t consider themselves to be fighters. He has a new book called Breathe: A Life in Flow. It’s a fantastic read not only because his life story is so interesting but also because it provides insights into what it means to be a spiritual warrior in our modern times. Rickson was never beaten as a professional fighter, but he has experienced great loss. In a time when so many guys are puffing themselves up or numbing themselves to escape their inner struggles, Rickson very openly talks about the beating he took and the darkness he experienced after his son died. Most importantly he discusses how he was reborn and even thankful for the loss. I loved talking with Rickson, and felt we could have gone on for hours. It’s always great to connect with those rare, few men who have great strength and a huge heart as well. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
