From The Hard Way With Joe De Sena · 22:19
Show by Joe De Sena
Like a Rocky of Brazilian Jujitsu, Ricardo Migliarse harnessed the brutality of the mean streets of South Philly to his advantage. He learned to stand up to the daily harassment of bullies and transformed that raw toughness into something that could help others. He followed his brother into jujitsu and quickly rose to be a top competitor. In the process, he discovered that the truly tough people in life aren't the ones with the chips on their shoulders. Ricardo describes what it takes to be a champion. Watch the video episode at http://spartanuppodcast.comLessons:1. Establishing a work ethic early in life is important.2. Surround yourself with positive people and become a part of a supportive community.3. There are no excuses for not making time for fitness and good health.4. Life is all about the basics.5. Life is about constantly growing and learning regardless of your accomplishments.6. Mission: To reach out to children and young adults and get them off the streets and into the gym as a way to teach them a lifestyle of discipline, hard work and education.Panel Notes:Joe Desena: This guy will twist you into a pretzel in about 5 seconds. I showed up at his house and he is doing pull-ups from a tree out front. He does an insane number of pull-ups each day. I love that his road to becoming humble started by punching someone in the face.Col. Nye: He learned the importance of delayed gratification early in life, a crystallizing moment that shaped his future and his philosophy. “I will no longer be bullied or be a target.” Ricardo evolved from victim to fighter to teacher and took the positives from his surroundings.Sefra Alexandra: When you see your surrounding landscape through a Mowgli lens, the trees become jungle gyms and the urban landscape your training grounds. Regardless of where you live there are inspirations, motivations and tools to help you grow stronger and more resilient.Johnny Waite: Don't be defined by anyone but yourself! Be around motivated people. This will cause you to dive right in or drop right out. Do things for others and not just yourself. It will always lead to more. Stay busy and you will stay sharp. Everything in life is a fight. Put in the training and you will be ready.Watch the video episode at http://spartanuppodcast.com/
