Greetings everyone, been on the Jocko train for the past year. The podcast has been really very valuable to help pull be through some mental health issues and start to get me back on a healthy track. I turn 50 this year, took my first bjj class last week (got a staph infected rash burn on my foot as a prize). I’ve got my 18 year old daughter on board to “get some”. She suffered a gruesome compound leg fracture skateboarding of all things. So after a year of 2 surgeries and no activity, her dream is to join the Air Force and handle dogs. She has 52 lbs to lose. Jocko and the Podcast way of thinking I’m thinking will give her some tools to help her help her self. Stoked to be here!

Welcome! Awesome to hear you started bjj. Sucks about the staph infection but at least you can get rid of it. I hope your recovery with that is well and I wish your daughter th best of luck on her journey.

Welcome to the Boards Aiko. There are a lot of troopers on Twitter having great success with weight loss. They are also honest about the daily difficulty. Ringworm and Staff are the other opponents of BJJ and Grappling. See if the teacher needs a volunteer to help clean the mats.
As with all things, find some good tools and good coaches. Keep you mind right.
