Matt and Hywel are back from their travels and have much to discuss, including: what it's like to train with leglock legend Imanari, what makes Helena Crevar so unique among pro grapplers, how a brand new gi brand has come out of nowhere to land a monster contact, and why UFC BJJ needs to start telling compelling stories. In addition to stories of eating ridiculous amounts of delicious Japanese dumplings, we discuss: - How Matt's brand has quietly positioned itself as a leader in South Korea thanks to a very industrious local licensee - Why a multi-billion dollar company is investing in pro jiu-jitsu in Brazil - How an unknown apparel manufacturer came out of nowhere to land one of the biggest contracts in all of jiu-jitsu - The business model that powers pro events - Why story telling is so integral to capturing audience's attention - The professionalism of a young athlete that should act as inspiration for all pros Episode 11 of @UnknownPressures is out now on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and everywhere else.
