Episode 290 - NAIA National Wrestling Champion and BJJ Purple Belt Brandon Reed

On this episode, we are once again joined by 3 x NAIA National Wrestling Champion, Jiu-Jitsu Purple Belt, and high level competitor, Brandon Reed. We discuss using social media to grow your brand, how to deal with negative comments and internet trolls, why Brandon went back to college but left after 6 months to pursue grappling full time, how releasing an instructional impacted his life, building trust at new gyms, training with MMA fighters and wrestlers, the most difficult part of transitioning from wrestling to BJJ, the importance of drilling, tournament prep, learning from your losses, and what makes an athlete or grappler "elite."
