  • Joe Scargill, US Secret Service, Special Agent in Charge
    Oct 1 2025

    In this episode, we welcome back Joe Scargill, Special Agent in Charge with the US Secret Service. We discuss Joe's recent surgeries, including rotator cuff and neck surgery, and the importance of having a recovery plan. Joe shares insights around TRT, its role in preserving muscle mass during recovery, the significance of physical fitness in law enforcement, the evolution of Jiu-Jitsu competition formats, and the impact of sports rules.

    We discuss various aspects of BJJ competition, focusing on scoring, the importance of match duration, and engaging the audience through visible scoring. Joe highlights the emergence of new talent, the potential benefits of open scoring, and the strategic elements of team-based events. The discussion also touches on the impact of youth in competitive grappling and the common feelings of imposter syndrome associated with belt promotions.
