In this episode, I sit down with John Bolichs, founder of Mat Return Wrestling Club, to talk about the lifelong benefits wrestling has had on us both—on and off the mat. John shares how wrestling shaped his mindset, discipline, and resilience, and why he started Mat Return Wrestling Club: to give adults a place to train, compete, and reconnect with the sport they love. Whether you’re a former wrestler, a fan of the sport, or someone curious about the lessons wrestling can teach, this conversation dives into the power of community, perseverance, and finding purpose through wrestling.
