DON MANN

 Seal Team 6
 Star and Host of Surviving Mann, Surviving Mann All Stars and The Mission

“Get Stronger, Faster, Smarter, and Do Something Good For Others”
EVERY. SINGLE. DAY… 

I'm thrilled to share some incredible insights from our latest podcast episode featuring the legendary Don Mann, a retired Navy SEAL with a wealth of experience and wisdom. 
 This conversation was packed with powerful lessons and inspiring stories that I just had to share with you all. 

 Here's a sneak peek into Don-
Don is often a guest on TV, radio, podcast and blog sites discussing current events, military issues and has written over 20 books.

Don is the TV host of The Mission, Surviving Mann and Surviving Mann All Stars. His co-hosts include: MMA legend Randy Couture, Sherriff Lamb an American law enforcement officer and politician who has served as sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona, since 2017 and Kerri Kasem, an American nationally syndicated radio host His programs include intense Navy SEAL like physical training, long gun, pistol and shot gun shooting, land navigation, diving, swimming, ropes courses, survival training, protection training, explosives training and mission planning.

 Don has over 40 years (1,000 competitions) worth of competitive racing experience, and was once ranked 38th in the world as a triathlete.

 Whether you're looking to set higher goals, overcome personal challenges, or find ways to give back to your community, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical advice.

 Challenges of Adaptation: Don opened up about the tough transition from the structured, disciplined life of a Navy SEAL to the often less motivated civilian world. He emphasized the importance of setting high goals and pursuing them with perseverance. 

The Call to Serve:
Don's journey began with a strong sense of adventure and a family history of military service. His father's World War II stories inspired him to serve, ultimately leading him to the Navy SEALs .

Becoming a SEAL:
Rigorous Training: Don shared his experiences from the gruelling Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training and his time with SEAL Team One. Despite the lack of frequent deployments, his focus remained on joining the elite SEAL Team Six. 

Lessons from Adventure Racing and Mountaineering: 
Don's adventure racing and mountaineering experiences taught him the balance between pushing limits and recognising when to pull back. “Team dynamics and collective wisdom play crucial roles in overcoming challenges. ”

The Power of Community and Connection:
Emotional Impact of Giving: The joy and fulfilment from helping others drives Don's endeavours. He finds immense satisfaction in seeing the transformative power of philanthropy.

 Don's highly accredited training courses, presentations and his television programs stem from his colorful and action-packed life as a member of SEAL Team One, TWO and SIX, as a former internationally renowned endurance athlete, as a leader in the world of extreme adventure-sports and as a New York Times Best-Selling Author.

Don has changed countless lives by sharing his unique “Reaching Beyond Boundaries ” philosophy and has been driven for decades in helping others achieve greater goals.

In this episode, we're joined by Sarah Goldman to talk about the sport of Adventure Racing, which is highlighted in the new movie, Arthur the King starring Mark Wahlberg. Sarah is the Community Programs Director for the North Carolina Outward Bound School, who has proudly served as a firefighter, police officer, and adventure racing participant and coach. The Adventure Racing World Championship takes teams on a journey in exotic locations through over 700 km of trekking, running, mountain biking, kayaking, rope work, and navigation.

Who doesn't dig a movie with a lovable dog? Arthur the King has a lovable dog and has Mark Wahlberg bringing you some exciting multi-terrain adventure racing. This movie starts with Wahlberg's seemingly washed up adventure racer character, Michael Light, wanting one last chance to finally win an adventure racing championship in the Dominican Republic. This is racing that takes place in tough terrain with running, cycling and kayaking for long distances over multiple days. He, and the other three members of this team, get sponsorship and get in the race, but also gain a furry fifth team member, a stray dog Michael names Arthur the King. Arthur inspires the team through his endurance through the rough terrain and also gains fans all around the world as he sticks with the team throughout the race. What's the final outcome for Arthur and the team? Is it worth finding out at a theater? Check out this episode to find out. Arthur the King also stars Simu Liu, Nathalie Emmanuel, Juliet Rylance, Ali Suliman, Bear Grylls, Paul Guilfoyle, Rob Collins, Alani Ilongwe and Cece Valentina. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

This week Clint and Dawson sit down with Lisa Randall. Lisa graduated with the highest honors from Georgia Tech in 2000, She worked full time as a civil engineer while juggling a heavy training and racing schedule. She entered the professional mountain bike ranks in 2004 after 2.5 years of racing, but definitely struggled to see results since she was trying to train at the pro level while working full time. In 2006, she discovered a new addiction, Adventure Racing, and has competed in dozens of multisport races ranging from 3 hours to 5 days. Lisa has had the opportunity to complete the TransRockies Mountain Bike Stage Race as well as the 2013 Trans North Georgia Mountain Bike Race, a 350 mile non-stop MTB race across the mountains of North Georgia. While it was definitely the most physically and mentally draining event she had done, she completed the route in just under 2 days, which is still the women's record. In 2015, Lisa was proud to earn a stars and stripes jersey at the Marathon Mountain Bike National Championships. Being drawn to difficult events, she is a two time buckle recipient in the Marji Gesick Duathlon (2019 and 2023) and one of maybe 4 women who have ever earned buckles in the event's history. In 2021 Lisa was diagnosed with breast cancer so her treatment for that was how she spent a lot of 2021 and 2022. By 2023 she was feeling strong enough to get back out into endurance racing and she competed in Expedition Ozark, a 5 day adventure race, where her team was the 2nd US team to finish. She also raced solo at the Chattanooga Epic 48 hour adventure race (2nd overall) and won the women's title at the Solo Adventure Race Championships. She participates in competitive orienteering and has even dabbled in some 50K running events. Lisa is happiest on her bike but generally just loves to be outdoors. Lisa's passion for athletics, competition and the outdoors led to her voluntary resignation from the engineering profession in 2011 and the creation of Mountain Goat Adventures, which is an event company that specializes in Mountain Bike Races, Trail Runs and Off Road Duathlons. The creation of Mountain Goat Adventures has allowed her to share her passion with like minded people, as well as given her a chance to really give back to the organizations that provide some of the best trail systems in the Northwest Metro Atlanta area. Between herself, her family members, and many great volunteers, they have logged hundreds of hours of trail maintenance in conjunction with her events, as well as over a hundred thousand dollars in donations to trail groups, with SORBA Woodstock being our largest benefactor.

My personal growth started about 10 years ago and I've been on my journey of transformation ever since.With the aid of Coaches, many personal development books, journaling, and deep inner work I pushed myself out of my comfort zone to live the life I truly love and desire. https://www.facebook.com/lisa.balsdon.54https://www.instagram.com/lisabalsdonliveinmotion/https://www.facebook.com/groups/healthandlifestylesolutionsforwomenPenny HounsomeI was a competitive athlete for most of my life that started with Ballet and Figure skating and ended with racing Olympic distance triathlons. My whole identity was wrapped up in what my body could do and my self worth was locked into how my body looked. Sports gave me many gifts but it was also a way to numb out the emotional pain of my childhood by focusing on outward success.At a young age I learned to measure my worth with the size of my clothes and to “look the part” on the outside while hiding my trauma on the inside.My inner critic developed into a loud, angry constant companion and it took many years of opening up, working on releasing & honouring my pain. I started my personal growth with the book, “What do happy people know” to heal my past trauma and I've been on a journey of transformation ever since.Penny Hounsomehttps://www.facebook.com/penny.hounsomehttps://www.instagram.com/pdhealthcoaching/https://luxliferetreats.ca/Join the Facebook community!Are you a new fitness entrepreneur looking to attract clients?
