  BJJ Ain't that hard; Stop over-complicating it!    “BJJ isn’t that hard — people just make it hard by chasing fluff. If you focus on movement and fundamentals, everything else falls into place.” What if Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu isn’t actually that hard? My guest today says the problem isn’t the art itself — it’s the way we’ve been taught to overcomplicate it.  Meet Randy William — BJJ black belt, police officer, and straight-talking coach who’s on a mission to cut through the fluff and show you why “BJJ isn’t that hard.” From teaching as a...

🎙️Hard Truth #3 - Ozzy’s Gone. Do we only care after people pass? show art 🎙️Hard Truth #3 - Ozzy’s Gone. Do we only care after people pass?

Next Level Guy

Ozzy’s gone. And suddenly everyone cares. But did they care yesterday? Did they tell him when he was here? Or are they just posting because it’s trending? This isn’t just about him. It’s about us. And how we’re wasting our lives pretending to care… too late. On today’s short and sharp solo episode, I get real about the performative grief we see every time someone famous passes — and how it reveals a much deeper problem in how we connect with the people who matter. If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable watching everyone jump on the RIP bandwagon… you’re not alone. Be a real...
