Origin CEO and BJJ Black Belt Pete Roberts Returns (Episode 339)

On this episode of the podcast, we are once again joined by Origin CEO and BJJ black belt Pete Roberts. Pete discusses the process of shifting his role when he became the CEO of Origin, why Pete feels that this was the first year that he actually "worked," why you should change where you get your dopamine, why you shouldn't put anyone on a pedestal, why Jiu-Jitsu is a metaphor for life, someone who has guided Pete becoming a better CEO, the challenges of bringing manufacturing back to America, the issues with consumerism, how the trajectory of manufacturing may change with a new president, the difference between "free trade" and "fair trade," why Pete wants to get back to the roots of Origin, how Jiu-Jitsu Principles can be applied to business, how Jiu-Jitsu has remained a big part of his life, and why he has been training more No-Gi BJJ.

In this sizzling hot takes episode, we dive into a wild mix of questions and opinions guaranteed to spark debate (and maybe a few laughs).

Plus, we tackle the IBJJF scoring system, Masters divisions, and the ultimate mystery: Do aliens exist? Oh, and let’s not forget a quick detour into Kangaroo Jack and why that movie might’ve broken trust forever. It’s Episode #297, and nothing is off-limits!
