Rohit follows Craig Jones to New York for a CJI 1 media tour as personal threats from ADCC starting coming in, and Rohit tells the full story of how he got his "dream job" as Craig's videographer. ???? For Collabs/Sponsorships → https://rohittharani.com/work-with-me

The episode tells two stories in parallel - the "New York" story (filmed in "dark mode"), and Rohit's "origin" story (filmed during daytime in "bright mode").

This documentary/comedy/vlog series tells the behind the scenes true story of the road to the first ever Craig Jones Invitational, the most watched grappling event of all time, from the perspective of Rohit, Craig's traveling video producer who helped create the popular Road to CJI series while traveling with Craig.

This second episode takes place ~82 days before the first ever Craig Jones Invitational - Rohit and Craig are on the road now and visit The Ariel Helwani Show, Luke Thomas, drop in at 10th Planet NYC for some no-gi jiujitsu, and film an episode of the El Segundo Podcast with Ffion Davies.

Rohit tells the story of how he grew up obsessed with making videos, how he managed to turn that into a very successful corporate career, which he left to return to his early filmmaking roots and passion. Rohit manages to find success on Youtube after trying lots of styles and attracts the attention of Craig, and eventually turns his passion into a second career.
