014 The Golden Retriever Purple Belt – Drew Williams on Faith, Competition & Helping Others Grind
Notas del episodio
On this episode of The GRYND we welcome Drew Williams — the golden retriever of AForce BJJ, freshly promoted purple belt, scary competitor, and one of the most helpful people you’ll ever meet on or off the mats.
Drew shares:
• His journey through Jiu-Jitsu and what it felt like earning that purple belt
• The mindset of a scary competitor who still shows up with a big smile and golden retriever energy
• How his unapologetic faith in Christ shapes the way he trains, competes, and lives
• His heart for helping others — teaching jiu-jitsu on the mats and helping kids learn about God
• What it looks like to be the ultimate helper while still grinding hard in competition and life
This is a fun, uplifting, and inspiring conversation about bringing your full self to the mats — faith, competitiveness, kindness, and all. Drew shows what it looks like to compete hard while lifting others up.
If you train BJJ, wrestle with faith and competition, or just love seeing someone live out their “why” with joy and purpose — this episode is for you.
