Non-Traditional Men's Therapy, Leaders Getting Out of The Way, and Why Consequences Matter | ASK ME ANYTHING

Ryan Michler and Kipp Sorenson explore Hickson Gracie's influence on MMA and how his dominance, despite not competing in early UFC events, laid the foundation for the sport. They discuss the Gracie family's strategic choice of Royce Gracie to showcase jiu-jitsu's power through a smaller fighter in the first UFC and examine early MMA's bare-knuckle fighting style and its impact on safety and techniques.

The conversation then shifts to men's mental health, as they advocate for hobbies like jiu-jitsu or hiking as therapy alternatives. They also touch on leadership and parenting, focusing on resilience, autonomy, and stress's role in growth, while promoting personal agency in belief systems and institutions.
