In this episode we sit down with Carter Roustio and take a deep dive into what most people never see — the journey behind becoming a fighter.

Carter just returned from a five-month stretch of training, traveling, and fighting overseas. But this episode is about more than Thailand. We talk about the injuries, the setbacks, the spider bite and surgery, and the quiet moments where you start questioning why you’re doing this in the first place.
