What this podcast is about, where it comes from, and who it’s for.

50 Lessons is a podcast built around capoeira — not only as a physical practice, but as a philosophy, a culture, and a way of life.

In this short introduction episode, I share the idea behind the podcast, a bit of my own background, and how this project connects to my book 50 Lessons on Capoeira, Teaching, and Life.

You don’t need to practice capoeira to listen.

But if you’ve ever stayed with something long enough for it to change you, this will feel familiar.

In this episode:

  • What 50 Lessons is really about
  • Capoeira as a lens for habits, integrity, leadership, and community
  • Why capoeira is more than movement — and why it still captivates so many people
  • A brief background on the author and the path that led to this project
  • How the podcast is structured and what to expect from the first season

If this introduction resonates with you, continue with the next episode.

Thank you for listening.
