Summary

In this episode of the BJJ and Biz podcast, I catch up with Ryan Van Ornam to discuss the intersection of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and business.

Ryan is also a veteran, so we get into that a bit and how the military prepares us to succeed in business.

We touch on the challenges of communication in high-stakes environments and how these experiences translate into effective business strategies.

As expected, we gotta talk about AI in marketing a bit, since everyone is considering it and asking about it.

And some other good stuff!
