127. Have Faith that Life Gets Better ft. Rex Vargas

Our next guest has struck a balance between work, family, and hobbies. He’s known to some as a jiu jitsu phenom by consistently training 6 days per week on top of his already busy schedule with work and fatherhood. We reflect on his journey through school and pivoting from a solely finance career to a tech career with a focus in finance. We explore his love for jiu jitsu and how he got so good at it. He's currently part owner of the second iteration of the Valko Jiu Jitsu Academy and he shares what their goals are with their second location. We chat about his streetwear/training gear company, ANTIHERO and the importance of finding something that puts you in a state of flow. We end the episode with his experience of discovering when his son, Noah, could possibly be diagnosed with Trisomy 13 during pregnancy to eventually processing Noah’s death at 33 weeks. Overall, it was a discussion of balance, fulfillment, and meaning. Please enjoy my conversation with Rex Vargas.
