“I remember I walked into that jiujitsu place, and the guy was some Brazilian guy. With his accent, he was like, ‘Come tomorrow, I'll look after you’. I was like, fuck, I can't let this guy down now. So I went the next day and then that whole month I went, I was working out or doing jujitsu every day of the week. And that month just changed my life completely.
I came back; license, job, found a partner (who's not around anymore, we've spoken about this before), but like everything was just going for me. And I realised like, life is amazing when I get outta my own way. And I needed that month, I needed that. It took me three years to be like, all right, fuck. I'm sick of it now. Let's get to work. Let's figure it out. And then that month just opened me up and here I am.”
