This week, Josh and Amir sat down with Mikey Hothi. Mikey works for assembly member Jim Cooper and is currently running for city council in his hometown of Lodi. He has also been doing Jiu Jitsu for the past thirteen years. They started off talking about his career in the sport, from competing, rolling, etc. Mikey then said that right now, he is taking a break from Jiu Jitsu to center his focus around politics and his campaign. It’s important to note that Mikey is a young guy, he’s only twenty-nine years old and has had an interest in politics for a long time. They discussed the importance of being involved in politics, especially for young people. From passion, politics, and more. This is Life with Josh &amp; Amir.

Mikey Singh Hothi is a brown belt at the Nick Diaz Academy in Lodi. He is also the District Director for an elected official in Sacramento, acting as their primary surrogate to the community. Pictured here giving an official state recognition to Nate Diaz, Mikey has successfully navigated the waters in fighting and in politics, two scenes which could not be further apart. He is well rounded as a rule, spending time doing yoga and rock climbing in addition to jiu jitsu and a packed social calendar. Join us for stories about training with the Diaz brothers, balancing jiu jitsu with a budding career, and a fun conversation with one of my favorite people in Sacramento.
