Joey Rosen:

I feel like, in the beginning, you love it. It's so fun. Like, you're just it's just it's it's amazing. Right? And then as the challenges and the obstacles get larger and larger that more of the feeling like this is work creeps in.

Joey Rosen:

No. I mean, some may know her is, like, the face of you. Like, one of the faces of you. One of

Joey Rosen:

the faces of you, Han. Also, you know, a name that I came up with, which I personally love, Molly with the medal. I absolutely love that because every time we see Molly, she got medal

Molli Zborowski:

on it. I've never heard that

Drew Beech:

one before. True.

Joey Rosen:

True. True. Alright. I don't know if judging by her face, she really doesn't like it. I need to.

Joey Rosen:

We can we can tweak the name a little bit.

Molli Zborowski:

Open to all nicknames because I don't have one.

Joey Rosen:

So Tell me. Molly with the medal, man.

Drew Beech:

Parents for dinner. And Sunday, my brother came and was like, he's like, yo, I knew that girl Molly was gonna win. Like, she's a fucking beast. She's So

Joey Rosen:

we're gonna get into that. Yeah. Yeah.

Drew Beech:

We're gonna get into that.

Joey Rosen:

So today, without further ado, we have a special guest. Few on athlete, someone that we saw compete recently, me for the first time actually in person, Molly Zabrowski, she's here. Mhmm. Again, you don't have to listen to me talk all the time. We're gonna hear a little bit about Molly's story.

Joey Rosen:

Let's start with the fuel on open because we're fresh off the fuel on open. Right? Up at, Finishers HQ in in Bethlehem. Molly with the medal was there and walked away with the medal. This was the first time that, obviously I've seen you train, a bunch, but not in competition.

Joey Rosen:

You were at seminar, obviously, you know, tape. But this was the first time that I saw you compete in person, and I was super impressed. Super impressed. The thing that impressed me the most was you are so calm and collected, but at the same time, like, I could feel your level of aggression specifically, like, your desire to submit. Is that true?

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Okay. Alright.

Molli Zborowski:

Definitely not that calm, though. That's just you know, my mind's running.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You you even when you came in, right, because your matches were in the afternoon, right, when you walked in, I did get a vibe from you that you were just like cool, calm, and collected.

Joey Rosen:

Like, you were there for a purpose. Like, you were on the hunt, but you seemed very cool, calm, and collected. So internally, you're spinning and calculating.

Molli Zborowski:

Definitely. But I am more, like, comfortable being at finishers.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

I've competed there a couple times now, so it's more of an environment I'm used to. Yeah. So I I think that definitely helped me out.

Joey Rosen:

So the stage, the and it's no surprise, but wherever you're competing or the stage that you're competing on is definitely gonna play a role in how you feel that day?

Molli Zborowski:

I think so.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. For sure.

Joey Rosen:

Sometimes better, sometimes more nerves, sometimes less nerves.

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. I feel like when I'm in an environment and I see my friends, they're competing too. I'm somewhere where I won before. I know these girls. I've gone against a couple of them.

Molli Zborowski:

It definitely gives me more confidence.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. For sure. Are you at the point now where you're seeing I've gotta imagine that you're seeing a lot of the same women at the competition. Right? At your competitions.

Joey Rosen:

And you're also now with the depending on the rules that you're mixed in, right, with

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. Purple, brown, black? Once you get your purple belt and no gi, you're thrown in with purple, brown, and black, especially as a female.

Joey Rosen:

Okay. There's not

Molli Zborowski:

enough of us Right. On this east side the east coast at least right now.

Joey Rosen:

Sure. Sure. It so you've you've done competitions outside of Pennsylvania, obviously. Yeah. Alright.

Joey Rosen:

Alright. So you're on the national stage. Does it do most of your competitions and we're going right into competition right here. But most of the competitions, are you competing on the East Coast most mostly, like, within

Molli Zborowski:

No. I feel like most of the time, I'm over on the West Coast traveling

Joey Rosen:

Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

For some of the big competitions and tournaments for sure.

Joey Rosen:

I got you. I think Got you.

Molli Zborowski:

East Coast is a lot more local stuff. Yep. There's a few opens over here, and they're starting to bring some more back. I'm waiting for, like, IBGGF to come back to, like, New York and have those opens again. But most of the time, I'm over in California a lot, sometimes Vegas, sometimes Texas.

Molli Zborowski:

Okay. There's a few in Florida, but for the most part, West Coast.

Joey Rosen:

West Coast. Okay. Alright. Well, we're definitely gonna have some more fuel hunt opens.

Drew Beech:

Okay. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

That you're gonna come through and that you're gonna run through like you did, the last one. Yeah. Definitely.

Drew Beech:

I was thinking, like, is there a stage that you have competed on that you did feel, like, real because like Joey said, you came in there and you were, like, you know, you're ready for business. Like, everyone kind of, like there was this, like, air in the room that was, like, oh, shit. Molly's here to fucking, like, fuck shit up.

Joey Rosen:

That's what I'm saying.

Drew Beech:

So I'm wondering, like, is that because you compete so much? I IBJJ have another different competition. Yeah. Large stages. But, like, is there a time in your growth as a competitor where you were like, oh, holy shit.

Drew Beech:

Like, this is, like, terrifying.

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. There's definitely sometimes I've panicked before matches, like, all the time. Yeah. When I went to trials, I had, like, a panic attack before I went out in the mat.

Drew Beech:

Oh, really?

Molli Zborowski:

And I, like, grabbed my boyfriend. I was like, I just don't feel good.

Joey Rosen:

And he just was dumb?

Molli Zborowski:

Doubting myself. Yeah. He definitely helped me. I didn't do my best that day, though. I definitely think it's because I doubted myself.

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. But I've been working on that. Yep. Sometimes I can control my mindset. Sometimes I let it slip.

Joey Rosen:

Yes. So Welcome to the club. I mean, I think it's everybody's battle, you know what I mean, on a day to day basis whether you're a competitor or or not.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. I was just how is that? I mean, Anthony, your your boyfriend was, like he seems to be, like, your cornerman, your coach, and, like, how is that having him in your corner from, like, all your matches?

Molli Zborowski:

Like It's good. I need him there.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. That's awesome.

Molli Zborowski:

I like that. He coaches me. He tells me what I need to do. Sometimes I listen. Sometimes I don't.

Joey Rosen:

Override. Call call him audible, and you

Molli Zborowski:

Sometimes I'll be in the middle of a match, and he'll tell me what to do. And I'll look at him and, speak back when I should not be doing that. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

I I

Drew Beech:

was sitting next to him at the open. It seemed like you wanted to do something, and you were, like, you were you were hungry for a finish. It seemed like and it was

Joey Rosen:

just like

Drew Beech:

she's just doing what she wants out there at this point.

Joey Rosen:

On submissions. Yeah. Yep. So what in those moments where, you have that bit of doubt or a full blown panic attack before you go out, what are you you're learning from those experiences. Right?

Joey Rosen:

So is there something different that you're doing mentally before or on the way to the competition to prepare yourself?

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. Sometimes I just gotta remember, like, ground myself, remember why I do this, why I compete, what I'm here for, that I love this shit.

Drew Beech:

Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

You know

Molli Zborowski:

what I mean? And that's why I'm here because sometimes I put too much pressure on myself Yep. And it turns into this whole thing of I have to win.

Drew Beech:

Yep. Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

And then it's like I'm scared to lose, and then it's like I'm not doing my best because that's going through my brain.

Drew Beech:

Mhmm. Yep.

Molli Zborowski:

So it's important that I need to get my mindset right for a competition. I'm still working on that. That's still the hardest part for me because when I'm confident, I'm great. Yeah. The moment I doubt myself, I need to fix it.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. As soon as it creeps in. Right? Yeah. It's insidious.

Joey Rosen:

It's like as soon as it creeps in, like, no matter how hard you train, no matter how well you train, no matter how well you prepared, like, you know, it tries to override all of that.

Molli Zborowski:

Yep.

Joey Rosen:

You know, it'll it'll have you the inner critic will have you believing that, like, you don't belong to be there.

Molli Zborowski:

You have to train All these thoughts go through all the time, and it's so normal. And then other matches, it's like nobody's gonna stop me Yeah. Today. Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

Yep. Yeah.

Drew Beech:

It's

Molli Zborowski:

That's the hardest part for me.

Drew Beech:

It's funny to remind yourself. I had a similar situation recently with my own jiu jitsu journey. Like, I just, like, was getting, like, subbed, like, left and right at practice. I'm, like, I fucking, like, hate this. Like, while I I was getting angry.

Drew Beech:

I'm, like, this is so stupid. I had to remind myself that, like, I do this because it's fun. I have to have fun with this

Molli Zborowski:

and stuff.

Drew Beech:

I'm getting, like, carried as much. Like and I'm practicing. Like, you're I'm, like, on a big stage. Like, I shouldn't care if I get some in. I should just fucking keep going.

Drew Beech:

So Yeah. It's interesting you say that.

Joey Rosen:

I ask about the because I I see the physical work that you put in. Right? Like, on well, I should say I see a portion of it because what I'm seeing is on Instagram. Right?

Molli Zborowski:

For sure.

Joey Rosen:

I see the training that you're doing. I see the the roles that you're doing. I see the training you're doing at no limit. The strength training that you're doing, like, I see all that. I see all the physical stuff stuff you're doing, but I I ask about, the mental side of things and how you prepare yourself there because I've got to imagine that's the hardest part.

Joey Rosen:

Like, that would be the hardest part for I haven't competed yet. I'm still a hobbyist. Right? I haven't competed in jujitsu yet but I have competed in powerlifting. And I know when I was competing in powerlifting that was the hardest part for me.

Joey Rosen:

You know, like not envisioning getting crushed under

Drew Beech:

the weight when I was

Joey Rosen:

up there or, you know, passing out when I'm, like, pulling, you know, when I'm deadlifting or something. You know what I mean? Like, trying to keep those thoughts out of my mind and honing in on, alright, you're prepared for this. You trained. You know what I mean?

Joey Rosen:

And playing mental movies that, like, serve my performance.

Molli Zborowski:

Yes.

Joey Rosen:

You know?

Molli Zborowski:

Making sure I'm very prepared helps a lot with my mental stuff.

Joey Rosen:

Well, I gotta tell you that at least from what I saw at the open, you've if there were any nerves we've established that, you know, you're comfortable. You feel a bit more comfortable there and everything. But if there are any nerves, like, you fooled everybody because you came in like woman on a mission. Yeah. So

Molli Zborowski:

It did come in a little hot.

Joey Rosen:

You came in a

Drew Beech:

little hot. You came

Joey Rosen:

in. I loved it. I was like, this is this is amazing.

Molli Zborowski:

I also knew how to wrestle and, you know, sometimes wrestling's not my forte, but we're working on that. Yeah. Got a little takedown.

Joey Rosen:

Oh, yeah.

Drew Beech:

Oh, yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

Gotta get more. Yeah.

Drew Beech:

There you go.

Joey Rosen:

You got

Drew Beech:

a sick takedown actually.

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. A little trip. Was. Used long legs for something.

Drew Beech:

I like it really.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. I'm a fellow member of the long limb club. Yeah. So, like, I'm I'm with you on that.

Molli Zborowski:

Help you on some stuff.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

I need it. I need it. We were talking about that before the show, working on my wrestling, every Wednesday. It's, feel comfortable on the ground.

Molli Zborowski:

For sure. That's

Joey Rosen:

the first place

Molli Zborowski:

you're gonna feel comfortable is the ground, and you have to get start getting up.

Joey Rosen:

I know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.

Joey Rosen:

Exactly. Exactly. Alright. Let's let's rewind. Let's let's rewind in your journey.

Joey Rosen:

So when did you start competing in jujitsu?

Molli Zborowski:

I started competing

Joey Rosen:

Were you a wipeout?

Molli Zborowski:

I was a wipeout.

Joey Rosen:

Okay.

Molli Zborowski:

I think I was about, like, 6 to 8 months in kind of wipe out Okay.

Drew Beech:

When I

Molli Zborowski:

when I was 25. So what's that?

Drew Beech:

Like,

Molli Zborowski:

4, three and a half years ago? Okay. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Right. So you've been training for 4 for 4 years?

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. A little over 4 years. Wow. Not that long.

Joey Rosen:

Do I

Drew Beech:

need to behave myself? Wow.

Molli Zborowski:

Not that long.

Joey Rosen:

Wow. Yeah. I assumed that it was longer because people are Thank you. Technical. So good.

Molli Zborowski:

Thank you.

Joey Rosen:

I assumed that it was longer wow.

Drew Beech:

So did I. That's actually makes me

Joey Rosen:

hate Okay.

Drew Beech:

Well, we're just gonna

Joey Rosen:

let's just shut off the

Drew Beech:

Yeah. See, because I'm just gonna quit jiu jitsu now.

Joey Rosen:

That's amazing, actually. Amazing. Thank you. And I was amazed.

Drew Beech:

So, yeah, at what point did you just like, I fucking love this shit. I wanna do this, like, all the time. Like, when when did that set out?

Molli Zborowski:

Probably my first Fury in the gi, blue belt right out there. Like I

Drew Beech:

was there for that one.

Molli Zborowski:

I'm gonna triangle. I triangle there in 36 seconds.

Drew Beech:

What? I'm doing that. Yeah. I remember that.

Molli Zborowski:

Guard pull right to triangles.

Joey Rosen:

That sounds

Molli Zborowski:

It was fun.

Drew Beech:

So you were on that big stage, and you weren't even in that mindset yet. You were just, like, still just

Molli Zborowski:

I wasn't in the mindset. No. I was just like, whatever happens, happens. There's zero pressure. No one knows who I am.

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. Just gonna go out there and

Joey Rosen:

And triangle. Triangles are fun. I love triangles. I love triangles.

Molli Zborowski:

Have a legs for triangles?

Joey Rosen:

That's what I'm saying. Long long limb club.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. It's,

Joey Rosen:

you know, you and me. Yeah. So okay. So you've been competing since, you know, very early on in your training. What's your competition schedule like now?

Joey Rosen:

How often are you competing?

Molli Zborowski:

Now? Either, like, once a month or every other month, I try to I try to compete whether it be small, local, or travel.

Joey Rosen:

Okay.

Molli Zborowski:

But it really just depends because once you get to a certain level, there's only certain tournaments that are worth going to.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

If that makes sense. Like, before

Joey Rosen:

killer. You know? Yeah.

Drew Beech:

You gotta be

Joey Rosen:

selective. You know?

Molli Zborowski:

Not even that. Like, there's there's a there's a bunch of, like, white belt and blue belt women to compete against, but then once you get hired, there's less and less and less.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. So Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

And I'm just trying to stay focused to some of the tournaments, like, the bigger tournaments that mean more to me.

Joey Rosen:

Sure.

Molli Zborowski:

And I'm trying to get really prepared for those Yep. Instead of

Joey Rosen:

Quality, not quantity.

Molli Zborowski:

Correct. When I was a blue belt, I used to just do so much, which I do not regret. I loved it, but I was, like, cutting weight. This week Oh, wow. 3 days, I was cutting weight weight again.

Molli Zborowski:

There was a situation where I was cutting weight 3 times in 1 month. Not a lot of weight, but still.

Joey Rosen:

Still. Yeah. Still. Still.

Molli Zborowski:

Yep. So then I couldn't focus on, like, getting better technique. Jamelle, that's, like, what's more important to me.

Joey Rosen:

True. Got you. Got you. You mentioned that you remind yourself, you know, going into a match, you remind yourself why you do this. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

And you said, you know, I love this shit. I'm here to essentially have fun. Right? Mhmm. Is there are there other components of your why?

Joey Rosen:

Or is it really just that? Like, you started training and you found what you love and that's that.

Molli Zborowski:

Or are

Joey Rosen:

there other components to your to your why?

Molli Zborowski:

No. I think I grew up just, like, super athletic. I played a bunch of sports. And then at a young age, I had to kinda give them up. Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

And

Molli Zborowski:

then I had to get a job, then I wasn't doing sports anymore. I lost interest Yeah. In those things, and I just didn't have the circumstances to be able to go to college for, you know, soccer, softball, both of those things I probably could have done. Sure. But I had to do I had to get a job, and, like, I went down the other way.

Molli Zborowski:

So now when I found jujitsu back, and I was like, oh, wait. This is, like, my redo. Yeah. Yeah. I can dive in.

Molli Zborowski:

I have I'm under the right circumstances. I can do what I wanna do Yep. And just fully be a grappler.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. Dive in. And arguably, I mean, I'm biased. You probably are too because you love jiu jitsu so much. I fucking love jiu jitsu, and I know I'm like, I'm only a couple

Molli Zborowski:

Everyone that does jiu jitsu, I think, is obsessed. I don't think that there is

Joey Rosen:

Such a good point.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Like obsession.

Molli Zborowski:

I feel like it's either you like it or I don't know. You never tried it. That's what I think. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. Basically.

Molli Zborowski:

People that say they don't wouldn't do it, they just didn't try it.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. Exactly. Basically. So well said.

Drew Beech:

You also have to, like, enjoy getting, like, your head bounce off a mat and getting crushed under grown ass man. Like, you gotta be the kind of person that's, like, addicted to, like, the pain. Like like, you work out because it fucking unleashes, like, emotions and feelings inside of you that, like, make you wanna keep going. Like, feel me more of this, please.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. So that that's kinda where I was going. Like, you know, you played sports. Right? But do any of those sports really compare at all to what you just said?

Molli Zborowski:

I didn't do any martial art when I was a kid, so I didn't even really know what martial art was. Yep. So I had a friend one time, we were having a conversation at the bar drinking because that's how I used to spend my weekends. Yeah. And they said, oh, well, if you wanna try martial arts, there's a women's class.

Molli Zborowski:

Pop in. So I said, okay. Popped in, never left.

Joey Rosen:

So that was jujitsu. That was martial art, jujitsu. So you didn't start anywhere else. You went right in jujitsu.

Drew Beech:

Where was that?

Molli Zborowski:

Daniel Gracie, Philly Okay. On American Street. Yeah. I started the women's class, took it, like, 3 times, and then I said, okay. Did the coed classes, and then never stopped.

Joey Rosen:

Nice. Nice. So then that checks the box on, asking how you got started.

Drew Beech:

Yes.

Joey Rosen:

So yeah. And there was no, to back to what you were saying, about jujitsu. No other sport really compares. I don't think that again, I'm a biased party, you know, as we've talked about. You love it or you haven't tried it, but I really don't see I've done a lot.

Joey Rosen:

Like, I've done, cycling, like endurance stuff. I've done power lifting. I've done all sorts of stuff. There is no sport or art or training regimen that is such a how can I word this? Nothing compares to the mind, body, and soul challenge and benefit that jujitsu gives you in my opinion.

Joey Rosen:

Right? It's a it's a com it is a complete experience, like a complete art, complete sport. You have to use your mind just as much as you have to use your body and your your soul, your spirit. Like, it's the same thing.

Drew Beech:

Funny. Another quick story. I was coaching Parker last night, and he had a hard day on the mat. He had caught him, like, a a mounted triangle.

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah.

Drew Beech:

And, like, he, like, fought out of it. It was, like, it was, like, hard to watch for a sec because he was getting crushed. Yeah. And, and he's typically not the on the receiving end, so, like, it's new for him. And, like, I totally yeah.

Drew Beech:

He's like I could tell he's a little upset. I told him, man, like, yeah. He'd be like, you alright? Like, everything good? He's like, yeah.

Drew Beech:

He's like I was like, bro, like, not everyone does this shit. Like, you just got crushed by another man's knots for, like, a minute. Like, realistically, that's the truth. Like, no one fucking sides up with it. You're better like, you're doing shit that people wouldn't even dream of doing.

Drew Beech:

So, like, to that point, like, it's Yep.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. I mean, that's that's the thing. Like, for you to just be like, hey. Yeah. Like, let's just try this.

Joey Rosen:

Like, yeah. Yeah. Like, let's just walk into it. You you said you knew nothing of it. Right?

Drew Beech:

Oh, I

Molli Zborowski:

had no idea. I used to be like it was like gym class to me Yeah. At first.

Joey Rosen:

Now that it's gotten much more popular and people have like a reference point for what jujitsu is, I don't think there's as many people that are just willing to like walk in, you know.

Molli Zborowski:

Probably not.

Joey Rosen:

You know, nowadays. So that is

Molli Zborowski:

It's definitely intimidating.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. So

Joey Rosen:

that furthers the point of, like, not everybody does this. Like, not even not everybody doesn't even have the strength to walk through the door, let alone stick with it. I You know?

Molli Zborowski:

A couple times, I used to walk in Yep. Look down the steps because it was in the basement.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. And if

Molli Zborowski:

I didn't see a couple of people, like, white belt, I would leave.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Oh my god.

Molli Zborowski:

And my coach saw me do it. John Marquez saw me do it, like, a couple times, and he, like, brought it up. And I was like, oh, you seen me? Yeah. Because I used to get, like, anxiety attacks.

Molli Zborowski:

Like, oh my god. There's no white belts here. There's, like, a couple high belts. I can't be here.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

I gotta do that, though.

Joey Rosen:

That's a real thing.

Drew Beech:

Quick shout out to future guest on the show, coach John Yes. Who's another great person and key Yep. Individual in the few on community. So I I cannot wait for that episode.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. That's gonna be good. That's gonna be good.

Drew Beech:

To bring up Molly Thippen out a quiz. Because she's afraid of the higher bill.

Molli Zborowski:

You said you used to see my feet run-in and then run out.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Now she is that person that people thought you were leaving.

Joey Rosen:

I know. Now you're the killer. Now people are, like, leaving and turning around and walking out now.

Molli Zborowski:

No. No. No. No. No.

Joey Rosen:

No. No.

Molli Zborowski:

No. No.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. I I I do think that it's a it's a very exclusive club. Like, if you train now that I train, like, I get it. Like, if you train, like, I immediately I'm like, you're one of my people. You know what I mean?

Joey Rosen:

Like, it's just how

Drew Beech:

You have that, like, low key, like, you know, you ever see that, the meme that's like happy mother's day to your father who doesn't do jujitsu? No. I didn't see that.

Joey Rosen:

But I think that that's fucking hilarious.

Drew Beech:

It's like, like, what's, like, a Hundra Grace here or, one of the Graceys, like Oh, it's the game.

Joey Rosen:

Oh, that's hilarious.

Drew Beech:

I didn't see it either. It's like a Valentine's Day card or so. That's funny.

Joey Rosen:

I was in hilarious. So you're you're no stranger to to hard work. Right? You voluntarily choose to do a lot of your hard work

Molli Zborowski:

Definitely. You

Joey Rosen:

know, in the in the gym, on the mats. When we were just firing up, the cameras here before we started the show, you had mentioned something that I didn't know about you, that, you were involved in an accident. Right? Motorcycle accident

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

When you were younger?

Molli Zborowski:

When I was 18.

Joey Rosen:

When you were 18, to the point where you broke your leg. Right? Motorcycle accident, we'll paint the picture. Passenger on a motorcycle, a sport bike, AC expressway, going I mean, nobody wants to crash at any speed on a motorcycle or on a sport bike, but, at a speed probably that I'm surprised even at that speed, 30 miles an hour or whatever, that you didn't walk away worse, but you did break your leg severely, right, to the point that you had to learn how to walk. Right?

Molli Zborowski:

Yep. Yep.

Joey Rosen:

Yep. How long was that process of learning how to how to walk again after the accident?

Molli Zborowski:

After my first surgery, probably, like, 4 months. Yep. And then I realized, well, the doctor realized that my body was basically what's the word you could say?

Joey Rosen:

The Like, off kilter or

Molli Zborowski:

I had hardware put in my my leg, and my body was rejecting it, basically.

Joey Rosen:

Oh, okay.

Drew Beech:

So it

Molli Zborowski:

was, like, bulging out, and they realized that we had to go in and take it out. And then

Joey Rosen:

like rods and pins?

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. Rods and pins. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

So it healed up fine. We took the hardware out. Yeah. And then I had to re learn how to walk again.

Joey Rosen:

For the second time.

Molli Zborowski:

For the second time.

Joey Rosen:

Another multi month effort.

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. Was

Drew Beech:

it equally as hard both times, or was it like, did it feel like the second time was, like,

Joey Rosen:

it was

Molli Zborowski:

It's hard both times. I was in a boot for, like, months. I just

Drew Beech:

felt like I would never be

Molli Zborowski:

able to walk without a limp, and then finally, I did.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. You would never know

Drew Beech:

now. Well, now she's freaking doing, like, the craziest, like, the one thing you've wouldn't think someone would that kind of I

Molli Zborowski:

don't even think about my leg anymore. Only sometimes, like, if I'm out somewhere and wearing shoes, like heels, I'll come home and I'll have a little cankle. That's it. Yeah. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. What about, knee bars and stuff like it doesn't when in the in the heel competition, you don't yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

Just sometimes I might have to stretch it out a little more than my right foot, but that's

Drew Beech:

really it.

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. Yeah. I'm grateful that that's all.

Drew Beech:

For sure. Shows you how amazing the human body is. Like, it like, so, like, I was a foreign object in here, pushed it out, and then healed Yeah. And regenerated basically on its own.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. I mean, that's one of those things that just came up before the show. Like, if you would have told me, oh, hey. By the way, I had to, like, learn how to walk again twice. Kinda like, yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Okay. You know?

Molli Zborowski:

It was brutal.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. But amazing that, that you came out of it. And then, I mean, now you're like a fierce competitor. Like Yeah. Wild.

Joey Rosen:

Right? You know, wild. Wild. Let's talk a little bit about Philly because why not?

Drew Beech:

Oh, yes. Right?

Joey Rosen:

Because everybody listening has heard

Drew Beech:

They you by the this point in the episode, you will all you will understood that the 3 of us are all from Philly because they're probably like, what are these people saying? Like, why why is this saying?

Molli Zborowski:

Molli Zborowski:

Joey Rosen:

Northeast Philly. Okay. Oh, so we're all So

Drew Beech:

we're on the same streets then?

Joey Rosen:

We're all from the all from the mean streets, of Philly. What I I like to and I think I mentioned on a previous show. The guy like to credit the streets of Philly for fuel hunt to

Drew Beech:

a certain degree.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. Because that's the idea. It was birthed when we were driving, you know, on our way home from from the office. So I feel like it's like a power up. Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

Whenever we, you know, have, like, a killer like Molly in the community, the athlete, if you want an athlete. It's also from Philly. It's like power up.

Drew Beech:

It's kinda cool. Like, the pocket of Philly that we're in, like, we're all, like, building together, like like, doing great things together, like, Sean Brady, Dawgs Brothers, like

Joey Rosen:

Yep.

Drew Beech:

Mark, like like, Molly, Amanda. Like, we're all but like you said, the the tides rise together. Right? Like yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Yep. Yep. Yeah. I I have a, I think we have the city on our back, man. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

In in in respective you know, our own respective ways, we have the city on our back, and we're doing great things for the city, which I like because I feel like I I have a a dead ode to the to the city. Mhmm. You know?

Drew Beech:

I like a

Joey Rosen:

lot of hard lessons on the streets.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. You you do. I I love Philly as much. I'm sure Molly does, but, like, you, Yeah. Yeah.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. He wants to go.

Joey Rosen:

It's a joke, but it's not really a joke. That's how it's gonna happen. That's, I'll be taken out of my house and fill you on a stretcher.

Molli Zborowski:

Down to get out soon. Yeah. Traitors.

Joey Rosen:

Traitors. I'm messing. I'm messing with you. I'm messing. I realize it's a it's a unique thing.

Joey Rosen:

Part of my personality.

Drew Beech:

I'm just I can't believe Melissa's still on board, dude. I feel like

Joey Rosen:

Well, look, man. I'm convincing you.

Drew Beech:

I wanna get a text from us one day. Like, you gotta talk to Joey. Like, can't even fuck. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Listen. That was part of the deal. My wife is from, Northern New Jersey, and, she's an attorney. Her firm closed. So she was looking for another firm at the time we were dating.

Joey Rosen:

And she was like, hey. Like, you know, I'm gonna look in and around Philly. And I was like, look. You just need to know something. When you come down here, like, now you can't leave.

Joey Rosen:

Like, it's just you know? It's just what it is. Like, you're gonna come down, you can't leave. And if you do leave, you're you're gonna leave without me because, like, I'm just dying here. And she was like, okay.

Joey Rosen:

She was with it.

Drew Beech:

She must love you. She was

Joey Rosen:

with it.

Molli Zborowski:

She definitely loves you.

Joey Rosen:

So now, you know, my 2 daughters indoctrinating them the best I can. They're feeling through and through, but nowadays, it's different. Like, for for me growing up, the Philly was so much stronger. It's getting,

Drew Beech:

like, a

Joey Rosen:

little dilutive.

Drew Beech:

I agree. I feel like, COVID, like, changed, like, a lot of things. Like

Joey Rosen:

Getting a little diluted now. But I'm making sure that the the force is strong in in my daughters, at least.

Drew Beech:

And that's good. I would agree. I would agree, though.

Joey Rosen:

So how how did you find Fuwaan, or did we find you? How'd that whole all go?

Molli Zborowski:

You guys found me. Mhmm. Kurt hit me up, actually.

Drew Beech:

Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

For my first photo shoot at Daniel Gracie, and it was the pain. Comfort is a slow death.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Yeah. So well, funny story. So we weren't doing Flightware at the time. I don't know if I've told this story on the show, but but my good friend, Sean Brady, he

Joey Rosen:

I asked. That's why I want you. You have it, but I

Drew Beech:

was like, he's like, he you guys were training together at at, Daniel Gracie's.

Molli Zborowski:

Yes.

Drew Beech:

And he was like, yeah. You guys should do rash cards. And and me Joey and I weren't training at the time, and I was like, what's a rash card? And then we sat at the, like, we're like, alright. If we're gonna do this, we're gonna find the fucking rash bar there is, and we're because that's how we positioned our shirts always.

Drew Beech:

And then we're like we always have pictures of Sean in them. We're like I Kurt was like our great photographer and good friend Kurt was like, there's a bad ass chick at at, Daniel Gracie. I was like, I I know her. She's on I just saw you on the Fury car.

Molli Zborowski:

Okay. Yeah. That was about that time.

Drew Beech:

And, he's like, I'll ask her, but I'm not sure. And I'm like, alright. Like, it looks like because it like like, I don't know. Molly just has this, like, aura about her. Yeah.

Drew Beech:

But that that photo shoot, I should re I I don't know if I repost it anymore because it's the old pain rash guard, but it's, like, it's a bit he used the lighting in there. It was so It was a dope

Joey Rosen:

photo shoot.

Drew Beech:

The Gracie gym is the Daniel Gracie's gym, all white is, like, a sick look. Didn't sick look.

Joey Rosen:

It's fire. Yeah. Yeah.

Drew Beech:

But Molly looks like like an angel in, like, like because I

Molli Zborowski:

The way the head, the lighting.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

No. I'm I'm I'm familiar with the picture.

Drew Beech:

I I know

Molli Zborowski:

it was the

Joey Rosen:

photos. Yeah.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Yeah. And ever since then, we've just been hooking, building together, dude. It's like, it's all it's kind of wild. And how it's just, like, naturally, organically, like, our relationship is just fresh.

Molli Zborowski:

Messaged me on Instagram. He's like, hey. Would you be down for a photo shoot for this and this? And I was like, sure. Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

I got nothing else to

Drew Beech:

do. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. And now all the way to, probably the one of the most recognizable faces of the few, you know, which is,

Molli Zborowski:

Thanks.

Joey Rosen:

You know, that

Drew Beech:

that's Probably other than Sean. Right? Like Yeah. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Like I said, we like plaques. We talked

Drew Beech:

about it.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. We need to get some plaques made.

Molli Zborowski:

Then it's

Drew Beech:

plaque. So interesting how it, like, evolved though because, like like, we just, like, learn that, like, Molly is one of us. You know what I mean? Like, she literally like, we have so much in common that it's, like like, oh, I I fit in here. Right?

Drew Beech:

Like

Joey Rosen:

Yep. Yeah. I think that that's one of the most beautiful things about Fuel One and the community. It's like Eagles working with Eagles. You know?

Joey Rosen:

Like, we see in each other.

Drew Beech:

Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

We see ourselves in each other. Mhmm. And, there's no better way to build something great than with people that you know, like, trust, love.

Drew Beech:

You know? So because we couldn't even say. Like, we'd have to to get her as an athlete because she wasn't really competing at the time. She was, like, literally just, like, training.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. Yeah. And then

Drew Beech:

she turned into this freaking killer athlete on on the circuit.

Molli Zborowski:

I was just taking any opportunity that came my way.

Drew Beech:

That's all we did, and that's what we can do. Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

I know.

Joey Rosen:

So The reps and not

Molli Zborowski:

stopping. It.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. Not stopping. So what's, what's next? Competition's coming up or what do you got? Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

I have the ADCC opened February 10th in Atlantic City. We're gonna do that. And then we're gonna do trials West Coast.

Drew Beech:

Okay.

Molli Zborowski:

I believe that's March 30th 31st,

Joey Rosen:

if

Molli Zborowski:

I'm not mistaken.

Joey Rosen:

Alright.

Molli Zborowski:

That's what I'm focused for right now Okay. Pretty much.

Joey Rosen:

Excellent.

Molli Zborowski:

If any super fights come up before that, I wouldn't be opposed, but

Drew Beech:

that's it for

Molli Zborowski:

right now.

Joey Rosen:

Sprinkle them in. Why not? Why not? Why

Drew Beech:

not? Okay.

Molli Zborowski:

More practice.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. Yeah. But like you said, the reps, like, that's a really important point for all of the Eagles that are listening and watching to understand, you didn't maybe you didn't set out with a master plan. You just set out to take every opportunity that presented itself so you could hone your skills. Yep.

Joey Rosen:

You know? And then I'm assuming that as you took those opportunities, then you developed your vision for, hey, like, this is where I wanna be in the sport, in the game. Right? Definitely. But you didn't hang around and say, well, I need this perfect plan or Nope.

Joey Rosen:

What do I really wanted to you were just like, I love this shit. Whatever pops up, I'm gonna get the reps in.

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. I used to just message every single card I've seen. Like Really? 145 blue belt take me. Really?

Molli Zborowski:

And I would do gi, no gi, between 140, 155. I don't care.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

So Yeah. At one point, when I was a blue belt, it was, like, every other week. Me and Anthony were driving Connecticut.

Drew Beech:

Wow. Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

New Haven down to up to New York. Just all over.

Joey Rosen:

Did it, did it did it ever feel like work when you were in that phase?

Molli Zborowski:

No. Oh, man. No. I it was fun.

Drew Beech:

Does it feel does it feel like work

Molli Zborowski:

now? Sometimes.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

But I'm learning to remember why I do it. And

Drew Beech:

And, well, this goes back to what we're talking about with Sean. Like, doctor Sean, it's like, like, you you don't realize when you're in that moment, but, like, that's the dream. The building is the dream. Like, that's that's the waking up early, the driving fucking miles, hours away, messaging people, but saying, please take me, like, literally, because you don't give a fuck because, like, you're just doing whatever it takes and and building your legacy or dream, whatever. Like, that is that is the dream.

Drew Beech:

Like, that's when you It's

Joey Rosen:

a journey.

Drew Beech:

Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. It's a journey.

Molli Zborowski:

It's all about the journey, I feel like. Mhmm.

Drew Beech:

But it goes back to we were just talking to Amanda about, like, you are who you're home with. Like, that's amazing that you have, like, the support system. Like, Anthony to

Joey Rosen:

come Yep.

Drew Beech:

Drive with you.

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. I don't know what I would have done without him. He drove me hours and hours. Chicago, we drove to, like, twice just to go to an IBJJF. Yeah.

Molli Zborowski:

Like, last minute. Yeah. A lot of places. And he didn't he he competes, but not all the time.

Joey Rosen:

I gotcha. Of the

Molli Zborowski:

time, he's just traveling with me Yeah. To deal with me because sometimes I'm not the easiest when I have to compete. Yeah. Sometimes he gets the other side of me that stressed.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. I'm sure he's a high paid coach though, so it's fine.

Molli Zborowski:

Definitely. High paid.

Joey Rosen:

High paid coach.

Molli Zborowski:

He likes it though. He enjoys watching me Yeah. Yeah. Chase my dream. So

Drew Beech:

Yeah. I love that.

Molli Zborowski:

It's good.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. I I absolutely love that. I mean, the I asked you if it felt like work then, and then Drew astutely asked, does it feel like work now? I feel like, in the beginning, you love it. It's so fun.

Joey Rosen:

Like, you're just it's just it's it's amazing. Right? And then as the challenges and the obstacles get larger and larger, that more of the feeling like this is work creeps in. And that's simply because you're, like, you're building yourself. You're growing.

Joey Rosen:

And that's not easy.

Molli Zborowski:

No. Sometimes the more I feel like I'm growing, sometimes there's more doubt. There's more pressure. So it's harder. Yep.

Molli Zborowski:

Back when I was a blue belt competing and I had a match with a brown belt, it was like, I don't care what happens. I'm a blue belt. She's a brown belt.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. No worries.

Molli Zborowski:

Would just go. Yep. Sometimes now I'm in my head a little bit, but Mhmm. We're working on that.

Drew Beech:

Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

It's I say the reps. Right? And that's the repetitions. But then there's also another rep, and that's reputation. And as you've as you go through this journey Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

You build a reputation for

Molli Zborowski:

yourself Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

And that can weigh on you. Yeah. You know, that can weigh on you and make it feel a little bit more like work. So I love the fact that you're grounding yourself and reminding yourself like I'm doing this because I love this. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Like this is fun for me. Like, complete freedom of purpose. Like, this is what I'm meant to do. I think that that's that's really, really powerful. Some powerful lessons there for

Drew Beech:

the field. I'm still new on that repetition reputation wordplay.

Joey Rosen:

Well, that's I mean, that's what it is. Right?

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

I mean, it's the same thing in not just not just jujitsu. It's it's in business, it's in it's in life, you know. You have to keep trying, you keep trying, you grow, and then you hold yourself to a higher reputation, a higher standard.

Drew Beech:

I agree.

Joey Rosen:

And that's why the work I think gets harder sometimes. Yeah. You know? Because the reputation upholding that

Molli Zborowski:

Yeah. Upholding it for sure.

Joey Rosen:

Is tough. You know? And then that's where the mental aspect comes in. It's free you're freer mentally in the beginning, I think.

Molli Zborowski:

Oh, so free.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Yeah. Like there's no

Joey Rosen:

good the reputation is the thing that challenges your mental. So alright. Any other questions?

Drew Beech:

No, sir.

Joey Rosen:
