Interview w/ 2x Judo Olympian Colton Brown!

This has been a deep and inspiring conversation about Judo, about life and grit, about tough choices we face as parents and coaches, about racism and patriotism. Colton is the definition of toughness and grit. Yet he is such a warm and humble person... and he is incredibly nuanced when it comes to intellectually challenging topics! I'm so grateful for this opportunity to talk to this true Champion in judo and in life!

Colton has a Dojo in New Jersey, here is the website:
