Nick was on the path to becoming an architect, but he had a true passion for coaching Jiu Jitsu. After years of training and getting serious about BJJ, he made the call to walk away and build something on his own terms.In this episode, he talks about growing up getting bullied, how a fight in high school sparked his interest in martial arts, and the long road from student to gym owner. We also get into training stories, the mental side of Jiu-Jitsu, and what it really means to leave a stable job to chase something riskier but real.
