Welcome to Episode #12 of Flourishing in the World. In this episode I have the honor of interviewing Kevin Watson, the owner and senior instructor at Kevin Watson Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. If you read my newsletter, you might recognize his name, as this is where I have been training in BJJ for the last two years. I wanted to talk to Kevin because, as a student of organizational culture and leadership, I have been impressed by the warm, welcoming culture he has created in his martial arts school. I think Kevin efforts embody the three C’s of Meaning that I often write about that contribute to a worthy life - Competence, Connection, and Contribution, and while we don’t explicitly discuss these during the podcast, they come out pretty clearly in our conversation. Kevin talks about how his jiu-jitsu journey has helped him become a better version of himself, helping him to overcome anxiety and other challenges. As an instructor, he seeks to help other people on their own journey toward being a better version of themselves.
