In this episode, I sit down with Coach Amin Touati, a Jiu-Jitsu black belt and master focused on building character and mental resilience.

He's one of the most honest and grounded coaches you'll meet, having been raised with a strict parenting style that he now sees as a gift. We talk about the one reason most parents are raising a ”soft” generation and why team sports like football are useless when it comes to building real confidence. We also talk about the male ego and why it's the biggest barrier for men and boys, and the powerful lesson he learned from earning a Sega as a child.

You don’t want to miss this one.
