Competing in BJJ and aligning actions with values | The Higher Man Podcast #2

Welcome to the 2nd episode of our podcast. Apologies for the poor audio at points in the podcast, this will be addressed in future episodes. In this podcast, we talk about our recent BJJ tournament, reflecting on our performances and the experience as a whole as well as discussions about Cain and Abel, whether every action should be in line with your highest values and trash talking in the UFC.
