(I would have left this review on iTunes, but I’m on Android.)
This counts as one of the best podcast episodes I’ve ever listened to.
CMC (Ret) Tharp is a warrior and trainer of warriors…the real deal. His insights on the SEAL training pipeline, mindset, and team dynamics are fantastic. I learned so much from this conversation. I plan on listening to this episode many times again in the future.
My favorite parts:
– CMC Tharp’s take on “talkers v doers”
– CMC Tharp’s “make it through the training or die.”
– CMC Tharp: “Never one thought about quitting.”
– CMC Tharp on breaking trainees down to “see the real man.”
– How you connected CMC Tharp’s message to your own writings on grit, resilience and asking what you’re willing to give up to reach your goals.
Your podcasts just keep getting better and better. I’m looking forward to the rest in this series!
BTW – In case anyone needs a primer on how tough a command master chief is, I give you CMC John James Urgayle from GI Jane: http://youtu.be/rFGjllCF7WI
