In this episode, I sit down with Brady Wicklund, also known as the Black Belt Farmer, a no-nonsense grappler and proud representative of the USA Grappling Team. A black belt under the legendary David Terrell, Brady brings farm-grown toughness and world-class technique to the mats. We dive into his journey from small-town grit to international competition, training under Terrell at Nor Cal Fighting Alliance, and what it means to wear the red, white, and blue in the world-level grappling event. We also chop it up about work ethic, sacrifice, and the raw mindset it takes to represent your country. Whether you're on the mats or in the tractor seat, this episode is a reminder that grind beats glamour and Brady is living proof.
