#47-- Have you ever sipped on a tradition? My good friend and Brazilian jiu-jitsu Black Belt, Carlos, not only shares his story of how he moved from the US to live in Brazil, but also he started drinking chimarrão—the traditional version of yerba mate specific to Brazil. This episode unfolds Carlos's vibrant tale of love, family, and cultural immersion, painting a picture of life in Brazil that's as rich and complex as the flavors of yerba mate itself. We'll also get into routines and life after sobriety. Tune in for this heartwarming mix of martial arts, mate, and personal transformation-- you don't want to miss this episode!
