BJJ black belt and UFC veteran Alberto Crane joins Nick Lamagna on The A Game Podcast: Real Estate Investing For Entrepreneurs for a raw, candid, and deeply inspiring conversation that covers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, entrepreneurship, mindset, overcoming MS, coaching, and building a business all in one episode.

From competing in some of the biggest fight organizations in the world to packing up and moving to Brazil with nothing but passion and a dream, Alberto breaks down what it truly means to go ALL IN - the philosophy behind his powerful new book - and why the most important word in business and life might just be "No." You'll hear the real story behind his journey from scrappy competitor losing 13 tournaments in a row to becoming one of the most respected names in the Los Angeles BJJ and fitness community, and what it truly takes to stay in the fight when life throws its hardest punches.

But this isn't just a fight story - Alberto gets real about the money and the mission too. He breaks down how Legacy BJJ grew organically from a love of the mat into a full-service training facility with affiliates across Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Santa Clarita, Malibu, San Diego, and beyond - featuring BJJ, TACFIT, strength and conditioning, cold plunge, sauna, massage, and the famous Acai Cafe.

In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ How to push through fear, indecision, and the freeze response in business and competition

✅ What elite athletes like Tom Brady and Michael Phelps do mentally that anyone can copy

✅ The secret to emotional intelligence in leadership and why it keeps great people around for years

✅ Training longevity tips for the aging athlete - compensation work, TACFIT, and why less is more

✅ How he manages business, family, and an MS diagnosis with purpose, gratitude, and grace
