Excellent
This audiobook is fantastic.
The production quality is excellent, with Roy Dean reading in a very intellectual and enthusiastic manner which makes it thoroughly enjoyable. His passion is obvious in the way he reads throughout the entire book.
The content is brilliant. Roy Dean shows a very human side to his success, with doubts, fears, insecurities and a warrior spirit to conquer them all. Lots of valuable lessons in this book which can only stem from years and years of experience.
Thank you Roy Dean for this great insight into your life!

good story
fan of his Jiu-Jitsu and teaching methods though i'm much less interested in who hes dating or sound design equipment
all in all good if you're a fan of his but the personal stories are a little strange

The value of life’s leverage opportunities
A fantastic listen, combining student/professional life with jiu jitsu and the elbows tight approach to ‘career progression’. The journey of becoming a black belt seems one of the most challenging things a human can do over a lifetime, or less! At times throughout the book it allows the listener to really dig deep and consider their own journey, and there are choices to continue, or to back out. The question is, are you ready to accept your own worthiness, and use your metaphorical life power to achieve a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
