Sophisticated Savage

From JC

"Everyone needs a Professor Fabi in their life. She shows how being pliant in life and attacking opportunities when presented you can achieve your goals. She never lets her circumstances dictate what direction her life is going. She used the discipline and confidence she learned at a young age through Jiu Jitsu anything was possible. The self-discipline on the mats bled over into her everyday life and she used these same principles and said yes to life. She didn’t let the bullets flying in the Favelas of Rio stop her, so she wasn’t going to let legal hardships or other barriers stop her from starting multiples businesses, becoming an American Citizen, and a World Champion all while being a Great Professor to her students. Surrounding yourself with people like Professor Fabi doesn’t allow you to be content with no progress on the mats or life. You can tell she is polite and Sophisticated when need be but if you attend one of her Jiu Jitsu classes you can see and most importantly feel how she can be a Savage on the mats. Her tenacity, her energy, and none quitting attitude is tangible and most importantly inspiring. I believe everything happens for a reason and I strongly believe that Professor Fabi was meant to be our first guest to set the bar high for people to become a Sophisticated Savage."

The audio quality of Professor Fabi’s podcast is not our best. She was our first guest, and we are forever progressing towards greatness, please listen to this podcast with headphones. Thanks to our audio savior Ryan Ortiz, we were able to salvage this episode. You will hear in our other podcast that our sound quality improves. PLEASE DON’T SKIP THIS PODCAST.
