Chris Fensom - How to leave your ego at the door

<p class="p1">My guest on today’s podcast is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, Chris Fensom. We’ve known each other for a long time now and he’s a real goldmine of wisdom and insights. When I was going to his classes he would regularly drop a thought bomb that would stop me in my tracks, and I wanted to see if we could capture some of that essence in today’s conversation.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Typically, Chris came to the interview armed with questions for me! So what you’re about to listen to is very much a 2 way conversation which was great fun to record!</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">They say that a BJJ black belt is a white belt who never quit, as it typically takes over 10 years to get there. Chris is also an analyst for Battle Arena TV on Sky, a former ISKA British MMA Champion at middle weight and light heavy weight, coaches more than 200 kids in karate, and is a proud father to 4 of his own.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">We talk about failures and mistakes, ego and the Beginner’s Mind, Stoic philosophy and SAS Who Dares Wins, parenting and why I never post pictures of my kids on social media - which was one of his questions!</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">Find out more about Chris's classes here:</p> <p class="p1"><a href= "https://a1martialarts.co.uk">https://a1martialarts.co.uk</a></p> <p class="p1"> </p>
