This episode is a little different. We took the audio from Jake's Youtube Video of the full conversation he had with Jozef Chen and his coach Dima as they shared their tactics and strategies for helping Jozef prepare for ADCC. Super insightful and we're hoping that hosting the audio here on the podcast will make it more accessible to you all and give another option for listening outside of Youtube. Hope you enjoy it!
