Mindset of a Navy SEAL, Adapting & Coping Successfully | Ep. 127: Marty Strong

Becoming The Hero

Today we discuss celebrating life, having a mindset that sees you through struggles, and adapting.

Welcome back to the 127h episode of the Hard Thing Podcast.

Today I share my conversation with former Navy Seal, Marty Strong.

Here are some highlights from today's show:

• Marty's hardest thing was dealing with the unexpected death of his son
• Life should be celebrated, not mourned
• Selection processes are designed to find those with the right mindset
• Developing the right mindset deals with ensuring your current identity matches the current reality
• Never be too attached to what you are or were

We also got some great action items from today's guest:

1. Celebrate life more

2. Develop a sense of humor

3. Get a good idea of what you want to do

4. Try to maintain a positive perspective

5. Exercise intellectual humility

6. Take 20 min for vision creation

Hey, there adventurer! I appreciate you taking the time to do an investigation check and dig into the archives of the show. I want you to know that this is an old episode back when the show was called The Hard Thing Podcast. The topics are still the same, though the format and some of the names are different. If you’re coming back to The Hard Thing Podcast, well surprise! We changed our name and some of our branding. Feel free to hang out in the archives and listen to the wonderful old episode of the Hard Thing Podcast, or take on a new adventure by listening to some of our current episodes. Either way, happy adventuring.
