Warrior Women in the World of Entrepreneurship Podcast

The podcast that will help you make your entrepreneurship dreams come true! If you've ever wanted to your own business, but haven't started yet due to lack of knowledge on how to begin, resources or support system; are currently the owner of your own business, but looking for ways to enhance your business practices; are a fellow business owner looking for other entrepreneurs to collaborate with, then this podcast is for you! Our interview style podcast allows us to have in depth conversations with Warrior Women Entrepreneurs throughout the world, that come from varying experience levels, backgrounds, brands, industries, locations, and timelines of where they are within building their businesses. We get down to the nitty gritty details of the incredible, the not so amazing, and the straight up ugly aspects of creating, growing, and owning your own business. These are important things to hear and understand when developing and owning your own business, because they aren't things that people share honestly until after they have become success. We are creating a larger community of Warrior Women Entrepreneurs (business owners) within each episode we release. You will now have an army of entrepreneurs providing you with behind the scenes looks at what you may also encounter within your journey, and to help you realize that IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS! We are a community full of resources, camaraderie, and conversation to help each other along the way, and to know that we are in this together no matter what stage of building we are at! Remember always that, we are in this together Warriors!Hosted by 'Colo' Taskowitz, Black Belt in Jeet Kune Do (JKD), Master in Sports Science, Personal Trainer, and Martial Arts & Fitness Entrepreneur.

Warrior Woman Guest- Emily Kwok [3rd Degree BJJ Black Belt, Princeton BJJ, Groundswell Grappling Concepts, Peak Performance Consultant, Mother]

October 04, 2022 • Colo • Season 1 • Episode 16

In today's episode, we get to sit down IN PERSON with Emily Kwok! Emily Kwok, is a multiple time IBJJF World Champion, MMA Veteran, co-owner and co-head instructor of Princeton Braziiian Jiu Jitsu, co-founder of Groundswell Grappling Concepts, featured instructor on the classic, “How to Defeat the Bigger, Stronger Opponent” series with Stephan Kesting, peak performance consultant and freelance writer working closely with business owner, Josh Waitzkin, and a mother of three. She is widely regarded as an early pioneer of the BJJ scene in North America, being one of the first females to rise to prominence as the sport expanded around the world.

In this episode, we discuss how Emily came to find the love, passion and skill for Brazilian JiuJitsu that led her to become a world champion and martial arts school founder in New Jersey.

We discuss:

Business outlines
What is acceptable and not acceptable behavior in the work place
How we act and react in situations both work and personal
How martial arts has helped us be able to navigate this world of small and large business, and running our own
What it takes to be successful
To not focus on what we are, but rather WHO we are. Who we are is what truly shows what we are, no matter our race, gender, ethnicity or history.
How we can honor each others differences and be in the same arena fighting towards the same common goals, not necessarily against each other (unless we are on the mats or in the ring- then it's go time!)
Time management and commitment between personal and professional responsibilities.
The importance of setting professional and personal boundaries
The importance in understanding how we can function better as athletes, business owners, and the roles we play within our family and friend dynamics as well

We thoroughly enjoyed this episode with Emily and are so incredibly honored to have met her and been able to share this space with her. Enjoy the show!
