444 - Stoicism and BJJ, with Adisa Banjoko
About this episode
The episode explores the intersection of Stoicism and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with guest Adisa Banjoko, focusing on personal experiences and practical applications of Stoic virtues.
How your journey through BJJ can intersect with and is helped by Stoicism, with Adisa Banjoko. It gets pretty personal as we go beyond the sound bites of Stoicism and dig into the actual practices you can use to develop the four virtues of Stoicism, namely wisdom, discipline, justice and courage. Along the way, we also tackle the importance of character in jiu-jitsu, the recent spate of scandals in the sport, dealing with pain and loss, and the importance of your whys.
