About the Show

The Ageless Warrior Lab is a new weekly podcast hosted by Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) black belt and “BJJ Dirty Dozen” member Dave Meyer. Drawing from a lifetime in martial arts and business, Dave explores how principles from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the martial arts apply to your life, success in business, and long-term health.

The target audience for this show is largely male, successful professionals interested in fitness and martial arts (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA specifically). Familiarity with that audience and their media preferences is a big plus.

Dave Meyer is a pioneer in BJJ, the first American to medal at black belt in a BJJ World Championship, author, coach, curriculum creator, and plant-based animal welfare advocate. He has won multiple BJJ world championships, and also has founded animal welfare nonprofits including the Adopt–a-Pet.com website. He has raised and deployed over $150 million in philanthropic capital and is considered a leader in the martial arts, animal welfare, and alternative proteins movements. At age 63, he still competes and wins in BJJ and brings deep insight, integrity, and impact to every episode.
