Coffee Time with Carlos Machado

Start Your Morning with Coffee, Conversation, and Real-Life Wisdom

Most people never get the chance to do what they love, not because they can’t, but because of the stories they believe or the setbacks they’ve faced. But adversity doesn’t have to define you. You can rise above it and go further than you ever imagined.

Join me, Carlos Machado, every Monday through Thursday at 9:00 AM CST for Coffee Time With Carlos, where we blend 50 years of martial arts experience and over three decades in business into conversations that inspire, challenge, and uplift.

If I can share even one insight that helps you grow stronger mentally, physically, or spiritually then every episode is worth it. Because in the end, we are all one… or all none.

So pour a cup, pull up a chair, and let’s share life together.

Episode 1: One Bowl of Rice and a Reason Not to Quit with Kenny Kim | A Story of Resilience and Rebuilding Aug 08, 2025

One bowl of rice. No students. No heat. Just belief.

In this powerful first episode of Coffee Time with Carlos, Master Carlos Machado sits down with Kenny Kim — a gym owner who risked everything to build something that didn’t exist yet.

Before the success, before the medals, there was struggle.
Kenny opens up about sleeping on the mats, teaching with no audience, and the quiet discipline it takes to keep going when no one’s watching.

This isn’t a conversation about Jiu-Jitsu.
It’s about life.
And what it means to rebuild from nothing.

If you’ve ever felt like giving up… this episode is for you.
