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

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
