Had such a great time chatting with Vanessa after her last fight in Vegas! Vanessa is a gem, and has an incredible story: from moving to the US from Greece as a kid, to spending over a decade as a stripper (and even writing a book on it!), to starting MMA at a time when women weren't even allowed in the UFC and making it all the way to the Octagon. Vanessa has such a strong sense of self that has carried her through the years and really infectious energy– excited to share this one with you all!

Be sure to follow her at @lilmonsterdemo, and keep an eye out for her next time she's in the Octagon :)

Loved getting to chat with Jessy Jess for Episode 2 of this series. Jessy has awesome energy and was honestly such a fun guest – We cover everything from her martial arts journey (from MMA, to Muay Thai, then...boxing?), sobriety, face tats, the finances of being a pro fighter, creepy DMs, coaching, and so much more.

Be sure to follow her at @misjessyjess on all platforms, and keep an eye out for her upcoming Muay Thai fight at @FightNightSanJose.

Was so thrilled to sit down with John Wood, head coach and founder of Syndicate MMA, last week. Coach to fighters like Merab Dvalishvili, Aljamain Sterling, and Khalil Rountree, John has built one of the most well known gyms in MMA over the past two decades. Loved being able to sit down with him and chat about his journey building Syndicate, the responsibilities and challenges of being an MMA coach, what he looks for in fighters, and a lot more.
