Episode notes
Refugee, street survivor, and BJJ Black Belt Rome Za knows what it takes to rebuild your reality when everything shatters. After pushing his body to the absolute limit, Rome suffered severe spinal and shoulder injuries, compounding the devastating loss of his business and marriage that forced him to start his entire life over from scratch. Instead of settling for a broken, average existence, he sought out elite movement and breathwork pioneers like Steve Maxwell, Ido Portal, and Wim Hof to completely reconstruct his physical and mental armor. We dive deep into his journey from the gritty streets of Brooklyn to founding VLNK Academy, breaking down his core philosophy that mastering your nervous system is the ultimate cheat code to mastering your life. A conversation about surviving total collapse, taking radical ownership of your daily habits, and re-engineering your mind from the ground up.
Real people. Real stories. Real f**king life.
