EE 260: Growing Into Your Purple Belt with Jake Cechini

Episode 260 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast features a conversation with my uke and teammate, Jake Cechini, as we take a deep dive into his journey toward earning his purple belt. Jake has been one of the most consistent and dedicated members of our team over the past few years, and his growth on the mats is a direct reflection of that commitment. He’s played a vital role in the Academy, especially with the kids' classes, and has naturally stepped into a leadership position. Jake is one of those guys who earns everyone’s respect—he brings great energy, tough rolls, and zero ego. A lifelong athlete with a background in high-level hockey, it’s always interesting to watch how guys from other disciplines evolve when they step into the world of grappling. I really enjoyed this one—digging into Jake’s story, his progression in jiu-jitsu, and of course, geeking out over the art we both love. Please enjoy Episode 260 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast!

Om Podcasten

What's up guys, my name is Greg Anderson, and after spending a decade in the Special Operations/Para-Military community and 14 overseas deployments, I pursued a new career in Law Enforcement with the interest in putting the deployment lifestyle behind me. In light of so many events in 2020 regarding law enforcement I decided to speak up on the behalf of the profession and it ultimately cost me my job, but because of this I’ve taken my life in a new direction and one of my pursuits is launching this podcast! The Endless Endeavor Podcasts was created with the understanding that life is a continuous and arduous journey. I’ve learned that the only way I can grow and develop as a human is maintaining an understanding that there is always a lot to learn and preserve a curiosity across a wide spectrum of interests. Through this journey of life I have had the honor to walk amongst giants and look forward to bringing our listeners quality content on a variety of topics. We will be delving into military operations, jiu jitsu and martial arts, liberty and freedom, tactical proficiency, health and wellness, overcoming depression and PTSD, leadership and team dynamics, parenting, law enforcement and so much more.
