139: We Are a Jiu Jitsu Family: Chatting All Things BJJ with Jared (who just got his black belt!)
2023/11/09
Today I bring on my husband, Jared, who recently got his black belt in Jiu Jitsu. He has been doing BJJ for 20 years and has been a catalyst for our entire family joining. We chat about all of the various benefits personally, athletically, and mentally that our family has attained through participating in this sport, including aiding in Jared's law enforcement career.
