In today's episode we are joined by regular guest our fight companions, coach and fellow bjj purple under Kyle Watson/Watson Martial Arts - Nick Curran! Nick is not only a great friend to the show but has been listening since our first episode all the way back in December of 2023! Nick's episode was recorded just before the last CXBJJ tournament so only natural the subject matter would dive deep into jiu jitsu, how it has impacted Nick, brought him community, patience, and spilled over into how he gives back to the community! An episode a long time in the making, whether you're an athlete, love the outdoors, or are just here to listen to a great guy talk about life - Nick has you covered this episode!

In today's episode we are so pleased to bring you another huge staple in the STL BJJ scene...the head of Revive BJJ in St. Charles and a marquee member of TAC Team - Junior Silva! Junior is a huge part of many people's bjj tenure throughout STL and his story dives deep into his youth in Brazil, coming to the US (Miami by way of STL), running multiple businesses here locally, his faith as a Christian and how this plays a part in raising his kids. A soft spoken guy with a hell of a lot of heart, we are so grateful for this time with Junior and we know there's something in here for everyone!
