The lifestyle, hobbies, and fun thread.

[MJ DeMarco]

Life is more than work, work, and work.

This is your opportunity to share with the forum your life outside of business.

For example, if you're hiking up a mountain, share your pics.

Traveling for a few days? Share!

Getting married? Share a photo.

If you're entering a boxing competition, let us know.

If you're at a business conference, post pictures.

New personal bench press record? Post a video.

Proud of your new car? Let us know.

If you're on a fishing boat and drinking a margarita, drop us a pic.

I love seeing and hearing what others are doing around the world.

This also allows the community to get to know people better, including their locations, hobbies, and life outside of "Fastlane"

The more detail the better!

I'll go 2nd.

Been training brazilian jiu-jitsu for 2 years now, and I've got to say it's one of the best investments I've EVER made. Period.

If you're someone who struggles with making connections (building a network) or friends because you just don't have many people around you, I encourage you to join a BJJ school.

A lot of the people I train with have not just become lifelong friends, but a lot of them are also doing really cool stuff. A lot of people in this sport seem to be weirdly in love with entrepreneurship.

Specifically, I'd recommend joining a school that has franchises. The most popular one is Renzo Gracie schools which are all over the place.

If you sign up for a Renzo Gracie school, you also get free access to other renzo gracie schools while travelling.

You also get this "unity" effect when you train at a school like Renzo Gracie, where if you visit one that isn't your main spot, you'll get treated as family.

Personally, I've trained jiu-jitsu in different states and all around my state in different towns, and I've probably made 150-200 REAL friends thus far, which is so insanely cool.

The coolest thing about jiu jitsu is that when it's man vs man, and you battle it out with someone, the amount of respect you have for each other is unmatched.

Think about how much respect you'll have gained and given to others after training with 1,000 partners.

One of the greatest sports ever!
