It’s been almost ten years since my first appearance on Robb’s Paleo Solution podcast, with the interview that ultimately launched NBT as a business. Today, Robb and I discuss the Paleo movement and why it declined in popularity, his latest business and personal ventures, his current love for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), and why you might like to try the sport, too. We also discuss red flags when choosing a gym, preventing injuries during BJJ, and staying sharp as you age.
