🥋 What happens when a lifelong competitor, coach, and mindset expert reveals the mental framework behind peak performance?

In this episode of Rolling Through Negotiations, we sit down with Gustavo Dantas, a 6th degree BJJ black belt, world class competitor, and founder of The BJJ Mental Coach podcast. With 35 years in Jiu Jitsu and a deep understanding of mental resilience, Gustavo shares how mindset, discipline, and self-awareness shape not just athletes but high performers in all areas of life.

Key Takeaways:

  • Authenticity Wins Battles: Gustavo explains why facing challenges with authenticity, not ego leads to stronger decisions, better performances, and personal growth.
  • Awareness + Action = Transformation: It’s not enough to recognise your fears and limitations; taking massive action is the key to breaking through barriers in Jiu Jitsu and beyond.
  • Own the Outcome: Whether on the mats or at the negotiation table, true power comes from taking full responsibility. Stop blaming the ref, the opponent, or bad luck, learn from every experience and use it to improve.

This episode is packed with wisdom from one of Jiu Jitsu’s sharpest minds. Gustavo also shares insights from his upcoming book, Inner Discovery for Outer Success, offering 10 powerful rules for competition, mindset, and personal growth.
