In their conversation, Brian and Eliot talk about the mindset of a competitive fighter, Eliot’s childhood/upbringing in Jersey and why/how he started fighting, genetics and fearfulness, dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, and childhood trauma, the debilitating effect of fear, taking personal responsibility instead of complaining about how unfair life is, life lessons one can learn from practicing jiujitsu, and Eliot’s book, The Gospel of Fire.
Life’s Best Medicine According to Eliot: “I figured out who I was and I figured out what it means to be me—I’m a father, I’m a husband, I’m a teacher, I’m a student, I’m a fighter, and I’m a survivor. I just focus on those things always. I focus on who I am. I am playing a 1 vs. 1 game—it’s Eliot vs. Eliot, not Eliot vs. the world. Who am I? Go be that every day in the world and just be a little better at it every day.”
