In this episode, Nick and Jay welcome Rohit Tharani, a globetrotting filmmaker and adventurer whose career has taken him from corporate media in Asia to documenting wild escapades with jiu-jitsu star Craig Jones. Rohit shares the behind-the-scenes madness of filming in war zones, navigating cultural barriers, and creating viral content on a shoestring budget.

The conversation spans Rohit’s journey from growing up in Hong Kong to producing high-stakes documentaries in places like Ukraine, Medellín, and Venezuela. He talks about his creative process, from capturing unfiltered moments to editing in armored vehicles and airport lobbies. With humor and grit, he describes dodging bullets, blowing up cars, and balancing the chaos of life on the road with his passion for storytelling.

They also dive into the unconventional genius of Craig Jones, a grappler who blurs the line between comedy and competition, and the impact of using jiu-jitsu to support charitable causes. For anyone curious about what it takes to make it in the unpredictable world of adventure filmmaking, this episode is a must-listen.
