Whether you're a dad trying to juggle the demands of family life or a jiu-jitsu enthusiast grappling with performance plateaus, this episode provides a space to reflect, reset, and move forward with confidence. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that reminds you that perfection isn’t the goal—growth is.
