Ep 413: The Power of Jiu-Jitsu: How a Journey in Brazil Shaped Life and Business Philosophy with Amal Easton

Join us for an inspiring journey as we sit down with Amal Easton, the visionary founder of Easton Training Centers. Amal shares his remarkable path from growing up in a happiness-focused, non-traditional family to creating a thriving Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu empire across Colorado. Discover how his decision to forgo a typical university path led him to acupuncture school, and ultimately to Brazil, where he trained with the Gracie family and honed his skills amidst language barriers and financial challenges. His return to the U.S. marked the beginning of Easton Training Centers, now a network of eight schools that have transformed lives and communities.

In this engaging episode, we explore the powerful intersection of passion and personal growth through the lens of Jiu-Jitsu. Amal recounts his experience of moving to Brazil, selling everything to embrace a new life, and the profound impact Jiu-Jitsu had on his journey. This martial art is not just a practice but a metaphor for life and entrepreneurship, teaching resilience, connection, and mental agility. Listen in as Amal discusses the creation of his first gym and the evolution into a supportive network that empowers others to establish their own training centers.
