Sean Wise interviews Rener Gracie — one of the Gracies I hadn’t heard of — on what mixed-martial arts can teach about entrepreneurship, and Rener makes the following points:
- If you have the leverage you do not need the strength
- Prepare for all worst-case scenarios
- Position before submission
- If you do not lose you will eventually win
- Timing is everything
He also interviews Marc Bocek, one of Canada’s first black belts in Jiu-Jitsu, who makes the following points on the business of jiu-jitsu:
- Take your opponent out of his or her comfort zone
- Never stop learning, the day you stop learning is the day you die
- Study your opponents
