File No. 12: Black Belt in Jiu Jitsu, White Belt in Business

Running a Jiu Jitsu academy involves much more than teaching Jiu Jitsu.

In File No. 12, Joey and Eric talk about the things nobody prepares you for when you open a gym—from floods, power outages, and construction problems to injuries, parents, etiquette, scheduling, finances, and all the random problems that somehow become your responsibility.

They also cover teaching, managing different personalities, building the right culture, and adapting when things don't go according to plan.

It's a conversation about the lessons you learn when you go from knowing Jiu Jitsu to figuring out how to actually run a Jiu Jitsu academy.
