Episode 14: Matt Caballero
I am so happy to bring you this episode with Matt Cabellero, one of my friends and also one of my favorite Krav instructors. He’s thoughtful, generous, and potentially lethal. We drank some rum and bourbon and talked about childhood bullying, finding where you belong, coming back from failure, and teaching people how to kick ass.

You start showing up five, six days a week, and all of a sudden, it’s your lifestyle. . . . It’s hard for me to put into words what I’ve gotten out of it. It really has changed me as a person and it’s changed how I live my life, and I love it, and I’m super grateful for it.

Pamela Baker: I leave my shit at the door.
It’s meditative. When I’m training, I’m not really thinking about anything else. I leave my shit at the door. I might pick it up as soon as the clock strikes the end of the hour . . . but for that hour, I’m not thinking about anything.

Genieva Croley: An opportunity not to be violent
Jiu jitsu gives you an opportunity to not be violent. . . . The thing that really drives me towards the game is the strategic thinking.
