He rose to purple belt in under 2 years, and now still actively trains + coaches as a first degree black belt under Paul Rimmer.

We talk about his BJJ journey, his life taking on a family business at 21 and of course in the last hour a lot of politics.

I am rarely speechless and Rob Pope my guest for this episode left me that way. He is the first and only ever person to perfectly emulate Forest Gumps run across the length of the USA 5x just like in the film coast to coast, he also holds the world record for the fastest marathon as a character at 2:36 at London Marathon 2018. Rob is truly one in 8 billion, some insane life lessons in what simplicity it takes to do unbelievable great things. I hope you learn something from listening to this because I have a learned a lot. Life changing.
