Built Not Born Podcast: Phil Migliarese — Strategy, Leverage & Balance (Episode #31)
Phil Migliarese is the co-owner of Balance Studios MMA & RiZen Metrics located Philadelphia. Phil is a 6th Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under the legendary Relson Gracie.
On this podcast, Phil Migliarese and I discuss:
· How a car accident two days after Phil turned 17 changed the course of his life.
· How Phil discovered Gracie Jiu Jitsu and what it was like training and living with the Gracie family in Los Angeles and Hawaii.
· How he lived in India and trained with the founder of Ashtanga yoga Pattabhi Jois.
· Why Phil believes time is the most sacred resource on the planet and why we must use time wisely.
· What it was like to open his first BJJ academy Balance Studios at 26 years old and dead broke.
· Why the biggest hurdle Phil ever faced was to get past is himself.
· That Gracie Jiu Jitsu is more than a set of techniques, it is a mindset and a lifestyle that will lead you to your own personal definition of successes.
