Today’s episode features Diana Nakarmi, co-founder of Pentagon Mixed Martial Arts, a small studio in Arlington, Virginia, started 10 years ago with her now-husband. Together, they’ve built a brand based on passion and a dream of changing lives through Mixed Martial Arts. Diana shares how building a brand takes investment — financial and otherwise — but the payoff is worth it. Pentagon MMA now has a worldwide reach through a YouTube channel with 50,000+ followers.
