This week on the podcast we talk about the scariest decisions we've ever made. and then we answer some questions: 

How to train for grinding it out (physically and mentally)

Our differing views on mental toughness ( or lack thereof) 

What to do when someone in your life is complacent

In the final decade of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius’ life he wrote a series of personal philosophies intended for himself; these would later be published as Meditations. Some are quotes, most are prescriptions for self-improvement. Aurelius was a student of stoic philosophy. Stoicism deals with emotional intelligence, mind over matter, being tied to nature, and exercising philosophy through actions over words.

Now, really hear and listen to the passage. Maybe play it a few times. But know your mind is powerful. Discipline, concentration and being present take work. But with all work and conditioning whether physical , or mental, it becomes easier over time.

Now, to a short passage from Marcus Aurelius from the book published as “Meditations”

Today, we answer questions: 

  1. Talon, would you consider yourself a Type-A or Type-B personality? And why?
  2. For Jerred: What's your secret to discipline? Truly deep down inside you. What's allows you to be so extremely disciplined?
  3. Talon -- Elaborate more on "awareness". You often express this as something that is very important, but how can you get better at being aware? Tips, strategies, etc.
  4. How does someone break into Olympic lifting without any prior knowledge? I lift but it seems like the Olympic lifts are more complete and I want to incorporate them.
  5. You both talk about running marathons without training, bike races, etc. Can you talk more about the importance of a gauntlet or crucible experiences?
  6. Is there anything about becoming a BETTERHUMAN that is out of our control? Like, can luck be involved in growth or gains at all in your opinion?
  7. You were both military officers; what was your biggest takeaway from your service?
  8. Can you be a bad person and still be a capable leader (or BETTERHUMAN)?

More.

Isn’t “more” always the answer?

That’s what we all think…

More money will make us…happier?

More things will make us…better?

More, more and more.

But is that really the answer??
