Listen "No Exit. Find Your Edge."
Episode Synopsis
I take you back to Yakshal, Afghanistan — the hardest day of my life — and show you how to mine your own past for proof you can do hard things again. This isn’t war-story theatre. It’s a framework: identify the core that got you through, strip away tactics that no longer fit, and re-apply it to today’s realities. We cover the SHIFT loop (assess → adapt → apply → review), negative feedback as a safety signal, and how to replace fantasy goals with evidence-based action. You’ll leave with a simple drill to rebuild belief and momentum this week.What you’ll learn:Why retreating from hard things often makes it worse.How to extract principles from your toughest moments and reuse them.How the SHIFT loop forces honesty and protects progress.A 10-minute exercise to turn past resilience into a current plan.
