Co-Host Marty Strong (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/marty) My first-time guest is retired Navy SEAL, author, speaker and CEO Marty Strong. Post military service, Marty has built a career out of teaching men how the SEAL mindset wins in both business as well as on the battlefield. Also, how to be strategically visionary, and--interestingly enough--how to bend, break and even ignore the 'rules' to get results. In a world where many men believe being loud and bullying others is to be admired, and admitting to not knowing it all is "weak", Marty is--like every other SEAL I've ever met--almost disarmingly laid back and almost unassuming, along with being a lifelong student. So then, first off...how is it that SEALS almost always seem to be 'over themselves', yet rise to higher echelons in whatever they endeavor? What is the most effective mindset for men who find themselves at the top of the group they're a part of? How do we as men suffer when we avoid any kind of competition in life whatsoever? How and when is paranoia a good thing...and even fun? Why is a leader who expects to have all the answers all the time pretty much doomed from the start? What traits matter the most when rising to the top of the leadership hierarchy in SEAL teams? (HINT: it won't be what you probably guessed) What is the most unexpected (and disarming) trait SEALs almost always portray? When are SEALS at their strongest, even when other men may consider their strategy 'weakness'? (This is GOLDEN...and changed my life personally when I figured it out.) What is the most disastrous character flaw any man can have? How would a Navy SEAL view approaching women and possible 'rejection'? And wait until you hear Marty explain why badass combat vets are often total wimps around women! Get all the info you need at: https://mountaintoppodcast.com
