Next time someone criticizes your hustle, remember this! 🧠🛡️

In this powerful clip from the Game of Stones Podcast, UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin drops a massive truth bomb about haters and criticism. When you fail publicly, people love to point fingers because they only see the end result. They don’t see the years you spent busting your ass to build a company or close a deal.

Why do they hate? Because they are insecure. When they see you trying to level up and be better than you were yesterday, it reminds them that they aren’t pushing themselves, and that hurts their ego. Keep grinding, build your empire, and let your success bring you peace! 💯📈

To beat the best, you have to study the best... and maybe steal their moves! 🥋

In this brilliant clip from the Game of Stones Podcast, UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin talks about his legendary fight against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. Forrest specifically asked for this fight because he wanted to test himself against the absolute best in the world.

The secret to his massive upset victory? He had spent years studying Shogun’s fighting style just because he was a fan! When the time came, Forrest actually stole Shogun’s signature clinch-punch entry and used his own jiu-jitsu against him to secure the ultimate win. 🏆

In business and in the cage: study your competitors, learn what makes them great, and use it to elevate your own game! 📈🥊

Every great journey starts with a little bit of failure (and a humbling beatdown)! 😂🥊

In this clip from the Game of Stones Podcast, UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin talks about how he actually got into MMA. After realizing he wasn’t good enough to play football for the University of Georgia, he walked into a fighting gym thinking he was a tough guy.

What happened next? He got completely beat up by a “skinny kid and a fat kid”! But instead of quitting, his ego took over. He knew he was a better athlete, so he became absolutely hooked on figuring the sport out. That obsession led him to a UFC World Championship! 🏆

Funny how the harder you work, the luckier you get! 🍀🥊

In this clip from the Game of Stones Podcast, UFC Legend Forrest Griffin and Joe Alva talk about the reality of success. The moment you make it to the top, everybody on the outside loves to say, “Oh, that guy just got lucky.” 🙄

They call it an “overnight success,” completely ignoring the 7 years of blood, sweat, bad luck, and injuries it took to get there. Forrest drops a massive truth bomb: the universe’s best luck always seems to find the people who never give up and work their asses off. Keep grinding! 💯

Sometimes you just have to look at the value proposition! 😂🥊

In this hilarious clip from the Game of Stones Podcast, UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin opens up about his short-lived (but undefeated!) stand-up comedy career and his absolute disaster of a professional boxing run.

After going 0-2 as an amateur boxer and having to pay to compete, Forrest did the only logical thing: he turned PRO. He still went 0-2, but at least he was getting paid to take the exact same beating! This is the kind of self-awareness and legendary humor that makes Forrest a fan favorite. 💯

THE UNTOLD TRUTH ABOUT FIGHTING ANDERSON SILVA 🤫🥊

Sometimes your biggest enemy isn’t your opponent... it’s your own ego! 🧠

In this shocking clip from the Game of Stones Podcast, UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin reveals the untold story behind his infamous fight with Anderson Silva. Just two weeks before the massive Main Event, Forrest was knocked out cold during a sparring session and had to get a brain MRI!

The doctors gave him an easy out to cancel the fight. But the pressure of being the main event, combined with the “tough guy” ego of not wanting to be called a wimp or let the fans down, made him fight completely compromised. A massive lesson for fighters and entrepreneurs: know when to step back and protect yourself! 💯

The future of the stone fabrication industry is changing fast. Are you ready? 🛑

In our final clip with Ted Sherritt (Owner of FloForm and President of ISFA) on the Game of Stones Podcast, we discuss the ultimate goal for regulating workplace safety. The government doesn’t have the resources to inspect every shop, so the industry must regulate itself!

The proposed future? A strict certification process where manufacturers, distributors, and importers will ONLY sell slabs to licensed, certified fabrication shops. If your shop isn’t safe, you simply won’t be able to buy material.
