Two Ronin Talk about 10thPJJ for One Hour

Thanks, Aaron!

Whiskey and Chokes Podcast #10: Horse Meat

We drink coffee and Bruichladdich Black Art while talking about horse meat, Keenan and JT Torres going to Atos, Michael Jordan, cleaning squid, the Salt Lake Grappling Club, dudes doing karate practice on our walls, Marcelo Garcia, and being challenged by beginner/intermediate level grapplers.

Its funny how true the quiet guys are the killers. A guy visited my gym from a Cesar affiliate, and he was super nice and respectful, totally wrecked me. Eventually he admitted he had been training for fifteen years never said his belt level. I guess it just shows how training humbles you over time.

Whiskey and Chokes Podcast #11: Page and Balvenie

Balvenie 12 year Doublewood, Josh Barnett, fried eggs on burgers, grappling clubs as social clubs, Rhonda Rousey, Jeff Monson, Iceland, Irish Americans, sinkholes, Bathhouses, gayness, belt tests, and Utah gyms.

I'm really enjoying this food episode.

Speaking of Podcasts in the 10th Planet family...

I recently created "Camera Work" a podcast about photography and the struggles photographers face in finding work and finding their own voice. We discuss a lot of principles that are in line with what I feel Eddie / 10th Planet represents. Things like, having an open mind, being able to praise another person, being able to admit you were wrong, being on a constant search for knowledge. I've quoted mentioned at least 3 times on the podcast already, I think. If you have a chance to check out the full episodes on iTunes, they can be found here:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/...593371228?mt=2

Also, we put a video version each week as well, although sometimes the video version is incomplete. You can view the first 20 minutes of my favorite episode, #3 on video here. The full 60 minute version is on iTunes. In this episode we discuss similarities between picking up chicks and picking up clients:

Interesting similarities. Makes me wonder if these psychological approaches would still have the same effects if they were taught to everyone in school, or what would pick up artist creators have come up with in a society that these things were taught to everyone

In the iTunes version of this podcast, we go much deeper into this conversation. What was interesting to me when I made this connection (between picking up girls and picking up clients) was that I hadn't really learned any "new" psychology since college. That was my first and last exposure to psych. They teach you about personality types and defensive mechanisms like fight or flight and stuff like that. Then you graduate, and you aren't really exposed to that stuff any more. Reading "The Game" and studying videos from username "RSDFREETOUR" or anything from "Real Social Dynamics" gave me brand new ways of interacting with people. Fascinating stuff.

Glad to hear it, Kurzy!

Very interesting discussion!

This interface between PUA psych. theory and business interactions is something I have seen come up a lot. As an attorney, I used to notice it all the time when new clients would come in to talk to us about representing them. In a great number of ways, the traits and behaviors that PUA guys aspire to are the same ones that would win clients.
