“BJJ isn’t that hard — people just make it hard by chasing fluff. If you focus on movement and fundamentals, everything else falls into place.”

What if Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu isn’t actually that hard? My guest today says the problem isn’t the art itself — it’s the way we’ve been taught to overcomplicate it.

Meet Randy William — BJJ black belt, police officer, and straight-talking coach who’s on a mission to cut through the fluff and show you why “BJJ isn’t that hard.” From teaching as a blue belt on an Air Force base to revolutionishing the teaching of BJJ, Randy brings raw honesty, practical wisdom, and a no-BS approach to mastering the art.

In a world chasing hacks and highlight reels, there’s one man who never left the land. Sean Hannah — better known as Sean the Sheepman — has built more than a following. He’s built a legacy. This isn’t just about sheepdogs — it’s about leadership, loss, loyalty, and what it means to live with purpose. This one’s real, raw, and deeply human. We are not just spotlighting a shepherd — we're spotlighting a philosopher in work boots.

He's a man who’s turned a field full of sheep into a global audience. You might know him as Sean the Sheepman – the straight-talking farmer whose videos have racked up millions of views and brought the world of farming to our screens in a way we’ve never seen before. From the highs and lows of working the land to the unexpected comedy of life with sheep, Sean’s stories are as real as the mud on his boots.

In this episode, we dive into the realities behind the reels – the grit, the graft, and the moments that make it all worth it. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the lessons, or just a good old-fashioned yarn, you’re going to enjoy this one.

Let’s get into it… here’s Sean the Sheepman.
