What's up, all of you beautiful mammals? This week on the podcast, I'm happy to sit down once again with a longtime friend of the podcast and a personal friend of mine, Zack H. In this episode, we celebrate Zack's hard work as he has recently been promoted to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt. We discuss the journey there, the current feelings, and what's next for the Fayetteville BJJ Black Belt. Also, in our conversation, we talked about the importance of recording your in-training rounds and responsibility as not only a black belt but as a grappler of rank.
