Jose has been a huge supporter of the Mat Mission, and is a perfect example of someone willing to simply put in the work and let it speak for itself.

Jake has a fascinating background, and we track it from the midwest roots all the way to the great republic of Texas while picking up the jiu jitsu along the way. Enjoy the episode.
