SHORT BIO
Nicolò Dominick is a rare hybrid of physical mastery and razor-sharp intellect. A two-time Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt World Champion, practicing international attorney, and MBA graduate, Nicolò decodes peak human performance by bridging world-class athletic discipline with executive strategy. His writings and workshops fuse ancient esoteric mental practices with modern neuroscience, providing actionable blueprints for high performers.

FULL BIO
Nicolò Dominick operates at the rare intersection of elite athletic achievement, legal acuity, and modern mental philosophy. Holding an MBA alongside his legal credentials, Nicolò spent decades competing at the absolute pinnacle of martial arts, earning two Black Belt World Championship titles in Jiu-Jitsu.
Having tested his mind and body in the high-stakes cauldrons of both world-class athletics and complex corporate environments, Nicolò developed a universal playbook for peak performance, emotional stillness, and strategic execution amidst chaos.
Nicolò translates these lessons into transformative literature. His first book, The Zen Protocol: 25 Practices to Master the Mind & Transform the Body, established a foundational methodology merging deep mental conditioning, physical optimization, and tactical discipline—catching the attention of national media and leading to appearances as a live analyst on CNN This Morning.
The Infinite Tao (September 15, 2026), expands on these principles, translating the classical Tao Te Ching, and including commentary after each of the short 81 chapters that provides a dynamic framework for corporate leaders, elite athletes, and individuals seeking excellence in high-stress environments.
When he is not writing or speaking, Nicolò continues to coach, consult, and study human potential.
