    #166 - Tony Johnston

    In the latest episode of The Cory Cast, I sit down with martial arts black belt and practicing attorney Tony Johnston for a deep dive into what a lifetime on the mats actually teaches you about success. Tony shares his incredible martial arts evolution, tracing his roots from the traditional striking disciplines of Karate and Tae Kwon Do to finding his ultimate passion on the ground in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). As a dedicated black belt who has spent the majority of his life studying and practicing grappling, he opens up about what it takes to sustain a lifelong love for the sport and the daily discipline required to reach the highest levels of combat sports. We also explore the fascinating intersection between martial arts and the legal world, discussing exactly how the problem-solving and strategic thinking of BJJ translate to a high-stakes career as an attorney. Tony breaks down how the mental toughness, calm under pressure, and tactical chess match of high-level Jiu-Jitsu directly mirror the challenges he faces inside the courtroom and when managing complex legal cases. It is a powerful conversation about how the lessons learned through physical struggle can completely reshape your professional mindset and execution. Whether you are a dedicated BJJ practitioner looking for tips on combat sports longevity, a legal professional interested in career strategy, or just someone looking to build more discipline and focus in your daily life, this episode is packed with practical takeaways. Tune in to hear Tony’s unique perspective on modern grappling, martial arts philosophy, and the ultimate grind of earning a black belt. Tony's Instagram: @johnstony 👋 LET’S CONNECT!

    In today's real estate market, there's a massive difference between working for a "Wall Street" corporate brokerage and a family-owned powerhouse.

    #161 - Tamdan McCrory

    In this episode of the Cory Cast, I’m sitting down with a true pioneer of the Northeast MMA scene, Tamdan "The Barn Cat" McCrory. While many of you know Tamdan from his high-level runs in the UFC and Bellator, we took a deep dive into what his life looks like now that the gloves are (mostly) hung up. We spent the heart of the conversation talking about his role as the head of Broome County Martial Arts. Tamdan shares his philosophy on what it actually takes to run a successful gym and why building a genuine culture is just as important as teaching a perfect armbar. We also explore the profound impact that martial arts can have on a person’s mental health and discipline, proving it's about much more than just fighting. Beyond the mats, we touched on the parallels between coaching and fatherhood. Tamdan opens up about the weight of leading by example and the importance of "walking the walk" for both his students and his kids. He has always been one of the most unique minds in the sport, and his insights on transitioning from a professional athlete to a mentor and business owner are something every listener can learn from.
