Listen and see if you agree. The book touches on everything from how he lived to his Martial Arts philosophy. Somehow we got to a note about a philosophy that centers around The Empty Circle. I couldn't remember, in the moment, where that came from - it's from Soho Tukuan (I'm a fan so I can't believe I forgot!) I also say we did an episode on the empty circle - we didn't - but we did do one on Tukuan. Here's...

Black Belt Project Podcast: How to Master Your Life One Belt at a TimeWhite Belt Master Training Day 4 Tracking Your Thirty Day ChallengesOn Day 4, I want to revisit the thirty day challenges you are doing.
