Get Physical
Tech billionaires often boast impressive biceps and shoulders. Mark Zuckerberg stands out as an impressive tech billionaire due to the sheer size of his muscles; they’re truly jaw-dropping. Recently, the Facebook founder has been showing off his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills at tournaments; Joe Rogan (an UFC commentator and black belt in Jiu Jitsu himself) was shocked at his intensity at a recent tournament where the Meta CEO displayed them.
Last week, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg entered his first jiu-jitsu competition and received two medals at Woodside, California’s Woodside Community Judo Academy. Rogan expressed concerns that Zuckerberg might lose consciousness during his match; however, Khai Wu assured Rogan that the Facebook CEO was fine as referee Jose Lucas Costa da Silva mistook Zuckerberg’s effortful grunts for snores and ended the match before any possible unconsciousness could take place.
Rogan also asked about his workout regime with social media mogul, Mark Zuckerberg. The multibillionaire acknowledged the stress involved with running such an enterprise can be draining; but to find balance he does a mixture of mixed martial arts and training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu before going into work each morning. Furthermore, the FBI warned him against posting controversial material that might sway voters ahead of 2020 presidential election; providing an insightful look behind an often opaque figure.
Have Fun
Mark Zuckerberg needs to keep himself fit, which is why the Facebook CEO enjoys an array of hobbies – one being Jiu-Jitsu which has grown increasingly popular over time with celebrities such as Tom Hardy, Russell Brand and Henry Cavill all taking an interest. Recently, Zuckerberg competed in a Jiu-Jitsu tournament and emerged victorious, winning two medals! This achievement was celebrated on a recent episode of Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
Rogan asked Zuckerberg why he enjoyed jujitsu, to which the social media mogul replied it was a primal sport that tested both body and mind. Furthermore, grappling had taught him much about life and dealing with conflict.
Zuckerberg also discussed his work with Meta, which will soon introduce its virtual-reality headset in October. According to him, this technology will make conversations seem as though you are speaking directly into someone’s eyes.
Though at times the interview may have seemed mundane, the pair had plenty of laughs joking and exchanging information about how they manage their lives. Zuckerberg even poked fun at fellow tech billionaire Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain chip technology by suggesting it may not yet be suitable for ‘normal people’.
Be Yourself
Facebook/Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has always been known for being self-conscious of his appearance and insecurity around it, so it was surprising when he opened up so candidly on Joe Rogan Podcast. Additionally, he discussed some futuristic ideas like Augmented Reality glasses which allow you to interact with your phone without taking it out of your hand – when someone messages you their message will pop up in your glasses’ corner and all it takes to reply is wave your arm in response – something which could make communication with coworkers and clients much simpler and effective!
Mark Zuckerberg is an MMA enthusiast and recently posted a video of himself training Jiu Jitsu with Khai Wu on Instagram, quickly going viral among MMA enthusiasts and Instagram users alike. Many applauded his impressive martial arts abilities.
Zuckerberg is married to Jessica Ditzel and has two daughters – Lola and Rosy with another expected shortly – as well as Kayja from his previous relationship.
Even though he might not be the best communicator, Zuckerberg remains a great role model. Always striving to improve himself in various ways – possibly thanks to access to valuable resources and experts as CEO of such an influential company as Facebook – he strives to be as transparent with his fans as possible.
