#10 Connor Matthews

Description

“With training - you have to get to that spot, and then you’re done, it's 2 years and you are done, I can withstand that. With fighting - it’s like a mountaintop that never stops, because as soon as you beat someone who’s good, you’re looking at the next peak or the next better guy that I have to fight."

In today’s episode with Connor Matthews, we talk about his mission of being a combat controller in the United States Air Force before embarking on a journey to become a professional MMA fighter. We dive into the process and training that he went through to become a special operator in the military, while also discussing the best practices for young people who are considering it as a career. We connect on common themes of failures being necessary for success and talk about how controlling the nervous system is the key to regulating your experience, whether it’s in combat, fighting or just in life.

Connor is a professional MMA fighter who is currently 6-1. His last two fights were on Dana White’s looking for a fight and Dana White’s Contender Series. He will be continuing his journey this summer when he looks to secure a UFC contract at his second run on the contender series. His background and experience have led to such a unique and important means of finding wellness and balance and it’s hard to imagine this man not accomplishing the goals he sets out for himself.

So please join us for an incredible episode!
