Master of None is a podcast ran by Deepak Aaron(Daaron.3). Chess, Stand Up Comedy, Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, Sports(UFC/NFL/NBA), business and analogies to life. I'm on the path to Grandmaster at chess(I have 3 International Master norms/GA State Champions, 2400+ USCF, and have competed Internationally), and every week I also do open mics, box and do jiu jitsu(still a beginner but making progress) and run WolfChess an Atlanta based chess company. I primarily watch UFC/NBA/NFL and love to analyze and talk about it! Every week I will be doing a podcast episode to summarize what I've done/what I've learned/and what I've observed through these endeavors that week.
