In this powerful episode, we sit down with Scott Burr, a jiu-jitsu black belt and co-author of Worth Defending. Scott shares insights into his collaboration with Richard Bresler, his legendary co-author, who helped introduce Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the United States and was instrumental in the UFC's early days. We discuss Richard’s ongoing medical battle, exploring the resilience and community spirit that jiu-jitsu brings in times of challenge. Join us as we dive deep into Scott’s journey, the impact of Worth Defending, and the lessons from jiu-jitsu that resonate beyond the mat.
