Shownotes Transcript

In today’s episode, I sit down with UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin to discuss the evolution of mixed martial arts and the mindset needed to succeed in the octagon. Forrest shares his journey from starting MMA for fun to becoming a UFC champion and the impact that fame and money had on his career. We explore how the sport has transformed, the pressure that comes with success, and the importance of staying present and focused. Forrest also offers insights into maintaining perspective, finding flow in high-pressure situations, and why he believes being an early adopter of MMA was the best decision of his life.
