Description
There are many storylines throughout the world of martial arts, but too few seem to revolve around the positive things that are happening. The Rolling for a Reason podcast shines a light on the individuals in BJJ, MMA and beyond that are making the world a better place.
We want this to be THEIR platform – a place to tell their story, and a place where we can build that evidence that BJJ can be (or even is now) the most compassionate sport in the world. Even though we are a BJJ-based organization, we hope to connect with all the change-makers in martial arts, grappling, and combat sports.

In today's episode Sarah sits down with the same person she sits next to in the office every day - Tap Cancer Out's Tournament Director Glenn Whelan! Glenn takes us behind the kimono so to speak, inside the nuts and bolts of TCO events, staffing, and more. Plus he gives us some insight on his journey to Tap Cancer Out, originating the role of Volunteer Coordinator, and MUCH more. Tune in!
Joining Host Sarah Fanning today are two very special guests. They’re married, they run a nonprofit together, and they’ve built one of the most impactful organizations in the jiu-jitsu space — all while balancing real life, real challenges, and a shared mission to fight cancer. Oh, and they work just a few feet away from this podcast setup!
Today on the podcast we’re joined by Mayara Custodio—an 8-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion, coach, and passionate advocate for women in the sport. Originally from Brazil, she’s competed and won at the highest levels, and now she’s traveling across the country teaching seminars and inspiring women through Jiu-Jitsu. Her mission is to grow the community, open doors for female athletes, and inspire others to chase their potential both on the mats and in life.
