#31 - Phil Migliarese - Strategy, Leverage & Balance

Phil Migliarese is the co-owner of Balance Studios MMA & RiZen Metrics both located Philadelphia. Phil is a 6th Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under the legendary Relson Gracie.

Phil was born into an entrepreneurial family and has been fascinated with Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Ashtanga yoga & digital marketing since childhood. 

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.
