Martial Arts Evolution: Parenting, Leadership, and the Jiu Jitsu Landscape ft. Eliot Marshall
In this episode of the Easton Training Center Community Podcast, Mike sits down with Easton co-owner Eliot Marshall for a wide-ranging conversation about parenting, Jiu Jitsu, leadership, and the evolution of Easton.
Mike and Eliot talk about raising kids, learning to be more present as parents, and finding the balance between giving your children a great life while still allowing them to experience struggle. They dive into Jiu Jitsu, including how Easton's approach to teaching has evolved, the importance of the coach-student relationship, and why the fundamentals of control and dominance continue to matter even as the sport changes.
It's an honest conversation about getting older, continuing to learn, and how the lessons picked up on the mat carry over into family, business, and life.

Staying Hungry: Competition, Coaching Kids, and Raising the Standard ft. Sean Madden
In this episode of the Easton Training Center Community Podcast, Sean Madden joins Mike to talk about coaching, competition, and the years of work it takes to build a successful Muay Thai program.
Sean shares what he's learned from recently stepping into Easton's kids Muay Thai program, including the differences between coaching kids and adults, adjusting expectations for different students, and why great coaches need to adapt the way they communicate.
The conversation also explores Easton's long-term goal of creating a stronger bridge between the kids and adult programs and developing athletes who can grow up through the entire Easton system.
Sean also breaks down Easton's most successful trip yet to the TBA Muay Thai World Expo, where nine athletes competed in 21 fights, finished with an 18–3 record, and brought home six national championships. More important than the wins, Sean explains how years of developing better systems, higher standards, experienced coaches, and a unified team culture are beginning to pay off on the national stage.
