Upon commissioning from Annapolis and competion of flight school, Plumb would soon be flying an F-4. Little did he know what awaited him just a few years later in Vietnam.Plumb was deployed to the war zone in November 1966. He routinely flew missions over North Vietnam, including Hanoi, which he says was the most heavily protected city in the world at that time. On each mission, he came under fire in a variety of forms.In May 1967, Plumb was shot down by a surface-to-air missile (SAM) and taken prisoner. He was soon held prisoner at the infamous "Hanoi Hilton."In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Captain Plumb recounts his memories of being shot down, his remarkable prayer while parachuting into enemy territory, the brutal torture and deprivation in the prison, and how the U.S. POW's kept each other going. Finally, he shares what it was like to breathe as a free man after nearly six years of captivity.

Medal. Today, he is one of the most sought-after speakers in the world.

When you're motivated to be your best, the world is your oyster. Good things such as a great job, ideal partners and prime opportunities, come to those who believe in themselves. Self-esteem and a good strong self-concept are central to being highly motivated. It's hard for others to believe in you if you don't believe in yourself. This is true in leadership, sales and even when raising a family. Tony Robbins' mentor, Jim Rohn, famously said you are the sum of the five people you hang around with most. If your five best friends are destitute, you are more likely to become poor. If your favorite five people are upwardly mobile, you are likely to do well financially. If your FFF (Five Friends Forever) are overweight and unhealthy, you're likely to take on some of their bad habits. When your best buddies are fit and exercise prone, you are probably like them. Highly motivated people: - Are in a good mood every day - See the glass as half-full - Are optimistic even in the face of adversity - Are resourceful when meeting challenges - Exercise, eat right, take care of themselves - Banish negative thinking - Systemize productive thoughts, emotions, behavior - Consume “how-to” books, videos and podcasts - Avoid angry people and negative emotions - Have “leftover” energy to help others and give back More in the Motivation Playlist on the Michael Angelo Caruso YT channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQGlG...

Former Navy fighter pilot Captain Charlie Plumb is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Scheduled to be his 75th and final mission in Vietnam, Charlie's F-4 Phantom Jet was shot down + captured. He'd spend the next 2,103 days isolated + tortured in North Vietnamese Prisoner of War camps. Four years ago I had the honor of having Charlie on the show + during our conversation, he deeply moved me when he attributed his survival to his faith and ability to forgive. Today, I'm sharing a fresh cut of this episode with you because the lessons within it have never been more relevant: Purpose provides the strength to endure the unthinkable  Appreciating the value of challenge No matter how your 2021 has looked so far, Charlie's story will remind you that the best is yet to come. SHOW NOTES: “Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.” ― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning The POWs held captive the longest came back with a lower rate of PTSD because great leadership unified us under a mission statement: Return with honor. Charlie mentions past guest Michaela Haas and how we can actually cultivate resilience through post traumatic grown. Learn more on Live Inspired Podcast ep. 4 here. Against therapists advice, Charlie was never bitter about his first wife filing for divorce without his knowledge and instead chose to appreciate how it fueled his hope to survive. Captain Charlie Plumb's advice for those who feel imprisoned: Look at the value of challenge. Adversity is a horrible thing to waste. Take a risk + get outside your comfort zone. Build a community of support. My conversation with Captain Charlie Plumb first aired in May 2017. Listen to that here.  

In today's episode, let's talk about how restrictive and unhealthy the 8 inches between our ears can be. Let's also talk about Captain Plumb's Parachute Packing. Have you heard about it? And since we are on the topic, shall we reflect upon the people who make our lives easier. Have you thanked them for their service lately? ***************
