On this episode we chat with Pake McNally.

Pake is a BJJ black belt, Blacksmith, former Wildland Firefighter, and the owner and fabricator of "Become Stronger Industries."

Pake talks about how he became a Wildland Firefighter, learning Blacksmithing, his introduction to BJJ and the parallels of metal work and BJJ, starting his metalworking business ("Become Stronger Industries).

We also discuss the importance of purpose, starting Jiu-Jitsu and how it pulled Pake out of a difficult time in his life, the importance of being part of a tribe/group, the value of activities with delayed gratification, how Pake started his blacksmithing business, the benefits of strengthening with maces, and the BJJ scene in rural Kansas.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
