Jean Jacques Machado was his own guest on a recent episode of his podcast. He’s always a good listen.

When I say to some of you guys in the school, if you lose a little weight, your jiu-jitsu is going to be a lot better, but in reality, your life is going to be a lot better. If you believe in yourself here, you’re going to be able to pass his guard. But in reality, if you believe in yourself, your life would be better.

And later:

The challenge that I have today is, is kind of, um, people can get a higher rank in their belts today. Which I think mechanically they’re ready for, but maybe on their mind, they’re not ready for.

This is a 5-minute clip, but it’s worth setting some time aside to listen or watch the full episode.
