From Private Equity on Wall Street to MMA in Singapore

The path, from Princeton University to Wall St., with a comfortable living and the perks of NYC available to a not-unattractive Ivy Leaguer fitness buff, sounds like a guaranteed recipe for happiness for many.

Not so Jake Butler. At his desk at Thor Equities, his mind would drift, from dealmaking and numbers crunching, to the mat. He'd think back to his time spent at Princeton where he ascended to team captain and qualified for the NCAA D1 wrestling championships. Many days, he tried to treat the symptoms, the restlessness, the daydreams, with a savage workout before dawn and after work. But it didn't help the 2006 graduate. "Spending my days staring at a screen and doing something I didn't enjoy, it became harder and harder," he said.
