As Seen On CNN
"Politics and UFC Fighting Mix at White House Tonight" – Nicolò Dominick appeared live on CNN as a Jiu-Jitsu World Champion, analyst and author of the book INTO THE CAGE: RISE OF UFC NATION (Random House).
Nicolò broke down the intersection of archetypes in media, politics, and combat sports live on CNN This Morning: expaling that the relationship between the UFC and and Donald Trump might seem perplexing, until viewed from this paradigm.
Whether dissecting martial arts strategy for major news networks, or teaching meditation and wellness at private retreats, or speaking on peak performance in the corporate world, Nicolò bridges the gap between ancient mastery and modern execution.
Author Biography: The Warrior-Scholar
Nicolò Dominick is a rare breed: a two-time Black Belt World Champion Jiu-Jitsu Athlete, a practicing attorney, and an MBA graduate. By combining the razor-sharp analytical mind required for law and business with the ultimate physical and mental testing ground of world-class combat sports, he has decoded a universal framework for peak human performance. A lifelong meditator, he has studied a range of esoteric mental techniques with masters in Japan, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and India.
Five years ago, Nicolò moved from Newport Beach, California to Monreale, a small village in Sicily, where his grandfather was born, and his ancestors (on both sides of his family tree) lived for a millennia. He didn’t speak the langue, and through email, knew only his great aunt. Yet, he felt the ancestral pull, so he follwed his heart, immersed himself in the culture and found a new home. One incredible and exciting benefit: in living a Blue Zone lifestyle, the results shocked him and inspired the writing of The Zen Protocol.
Nicolò writes actionable books for those seeking to master their minds, optimize their bodies, and find stillness amidst chaos.
