What's up, happy people? This week on the podcast, I sit down and chat with fellow grappler, Phinehas Doraisingh. Phin is a BJJ practitioner training out of Annapolis, MD. We discussed his journey as he started training right after the Covid lockdowns. Our conversation included how his sobriety has positively effected his training and life, his time in therapy, signing up for a marathon later this year, and leaving social media.
