POSTS STORIES REELS

Some people go through hell… and somehow, they come out stronger.

But what happens between the moment everything falls apart and the moment the world sees their success?

The struggles nobody witnessed. The sacrifices nobody knew about. The stories that never made the headlines.

Those are the conversations I want to have.

Not just with champions, but with extraordinary people whose stories deserve to be heard.

If your life were a book… what chapter are you in right now? 📖

I asked Master Murilo Bustamante this question during our conversation for The Champions Code — and somehow, we may have started planning his book! 😂

Imagine the stories behind a man who helped shape the history of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. From becoming a UFC champion to founding Brazilian Top Team, his journey is filled with victories, challenges, sacrifices, and lessons that go far beyond the mats.

But what I loved most about this conversation wasn’t just the history. It was getting to know the man behind the legacy.

And now I want to ask YOU something…

If your life were a book, what would you call the chapter you’re living right now? ❤️👇

I’m not a professional podcaster. I never planned to become one, either.

But I have something that made me want to give this a try: a list of extraordinary people whose stories deserve to be heard.

People who have built something remarkable. People who have overcome the unimaginable. People whose experiences, wisdom, and journeys deserve to be remembered.

And I kept thinking… what if I could sit across from them, ask the questions that matter, and preserve those conversations for generations to come?

So here we are. ❤️

ONE QUESTION. ONE POWERFUL ANSWER. 🎙️

I had the honor of asking Alex Garcia just one question — and his answer was worth hearing.

An Emmy-nominated Chief Meteorologist, Director of National Tropical Weather, and television host, Alex has spent decades communicating when people need information most.

Sometimes, you don’t need a long interview.
You just need the right question — asked to the right person.

Watch his answer. 🎥

THE CHAMPIONS CODE | LEGACY SERIES • 01

What is the greatest victory in the life of a UFC Champion?

For Master Murilo Bustamante, it wasn’t inside the Octagon.

“The most important victory in my life is to be a father.”

And this is exactly why I chose this moment to begin.

I had the incredible honor of sitting down with Master Murilo Bustamante to record something much bigger than an interview.

His legacy.

Family. Faith. Victories. Defeats. Hard times. The highest levels of competition. The moments the world saw — and the ones it didn’t.

Over the next few weeks, I will share pieces of this conversation leading to the very first episode of The Champions Code.

MURILO BUSTAMANTE: THE LEGACY
Full episode coming October 2026.

This is only the beginning.

💕Tag the person whom introduced you to this beautiful jiu jitsu journey!

Today I want to honor an exceptional person, talented, inspirational, wonderful kind heart from inside out. Her name is Professor Fabiana Borges.
One of my best friend and someone I truly admire for her perseverance and dedication in life.

Thank you for your persistence in wanting to show me what jiu jitsu was all about ten years ago. You tried so hard in bringing me to the academy until one day I said yes.
Today, I see why many women do not give a chance to even try. In my mind jiu jitsu was only about fighting, hurting and getting hurt. This is not what this sport is about. Jiu Jitsu have taught me so much in life and to deal with real life situation. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to start. Patience, humbleness, respect, loyalty understanding, caring for one another is one of the key components I deeply learned to name a few.

Thank you my friend I am forever grateful @fborgesjiujitsu
