Episode 15: Blue Belts, Doomscrolling, and the "Mines of Moria"

White belt Zach is officially a white belt no more! In this episode, the boys celebrate Zach’s graduation to Blue Belt and dive into the high-stakes world of "creeping up the ranks." From the traditional Brazilian ceremonies in São Paulo to the garage-gym "Speak Easys" of North Carolina, James and Zach explore what it’s like to represent your home gym while traveling the world.

But it’s not all promotions and handshakes. The conversation takes a turn into the "Mines of Moria" (a.k.a. the Instagram Discovery page) as they discuss the mental health benefits of staying off social media and the "doom" that comes with it. They also tackle the reality of financial recovery—doing the math on how much they’ve saved by not buying "sniffy treats" and booze, and why learning basic financial literacy is just as important as learning a cross-collar choke.
