Description

Dan Steele, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt (https://www.instagram.com/dansteelebjj) and coach at Easton Training Center (https://www.instagram.com/eastontc), joins me for a dynamic conversation that bridges discipline, grief, adrenaline, and ancestral health.


We dive into:

    •    The mysterious dream he had the night before learning about his father’s tragic passing in a head-on collision

    •    His wild entry into jiu-jitsu after confronting a stranger outside Best Buy

    •    The evolution of BJJ—from raw, combative roots to a community-building path fit for kids (even someone like my 8-year-old daughter)

    •    The parallels between jiu-jitsu and surfing, and the power of adrenaline to enhance workouts

    •    His recent journey to Japan, my recent trip to Hawaii, and how movement unlocks healing

    •    How supplements like Bison Liver, Elk Antler, and Femur Creamer (https://www.tribevitamins.com) can optimize strength, recovery, and skin


I also share my experience with TrustedHousesitters (https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/breakingnormal)—and why they might be the perfect fit as the next sponsor for the Breaking Normal Podcast.
