Text Hawk to 66866 to become part of "Mindful Monday." Join 10's of thousands of your fellow learning leaders and receive a carefully curated email from me each Monday morning to help you start your week off right... Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12   https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Be on time. It's not okay to be late. As the leader, we have to set the right example. There is a narrow path to Top Gun, but Dave made it... Dave served as an ANGLICO Forward Air Controller supporting the Army's 1st Armored Division during extensive urban combat operations on the ground in Ramadi, Iraq in 2006. He led his supporting arms liaison team on scores of combat missions into the most dangerous neighborhoods and accompanied SEAL Task Unit Bruiser on virtually every major operation in the Battle of Ramadi. He was the only Marine selected to fly the F-22 Raptor having served as an exchange officer at the Air Force's 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron as the Division Commander. He became the first operational pilot ever to fly and be qualified in the F-35B, serving as the Commanding Officer of the Marine Corps' first F-35 squadron from 2012-2014. Balancing courage and confidence with humility - It's a must to surround yourself with others who continue to push you and keep your ego in check. The attributes of a Top Gun instructor: Willing to learn and Able to teach. Great leaders seem to have those same qualities. Dave's choice to volunteer to fight on the ground is what led him to meet Jocko Willink and thus change his life. Stepping up and doing a job that others don't want to do, and taking that responsibility can lead to amazing opportunities. A Top Gun pilot must balance courage and confidence with humility. You need a great support group around you to keep in check. Your ego, however, can be helpful at times. "It allows you to do things that others say can't be done." How to deal with negative self-talk? "We all deal with it. Relax. Take a step back. Breathe. Detach from the situation."

It's common for egos to clash in the workplace. Here are some red flags to lookout for.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/jocko-podcast/exclusive-content

Code of Conduct – a set of rules outlining the norms, rules, and responsibilities or proper practices of an individual party or an organization.This week we revisit one of our favorite episodes – a deep dive into creating your own personal code of conduct. We hope you enjoy it and look forward to new episodes next week!Too many men wander aimlessly through life without a direction or without the focus needed to become what they are meant to truly become. That lack of direction can have devastating effects.Learning focus and direction comes from understanding who you are and what you're all about. That understanding is obtained through establishing terms of engagement for yourself in any circumstance, or in other words, a code.As Jocko so succinctly states in The Code. The Evaluation. The Protocols: “We can prevail over mediocracy. We do that by chasing the ideal. Our ideal. An ideal that we must define. An ideal that we must codify in no uncertain terms so that we know what we are striving for. We must have a code to follow.”In this episode of Untaming Masculinity, Dan and Brad take a look into what it means to create a code for yourself and why having one is so crucial.A code should speak to your soul and compels you to action, so as a result, it is intensely personal. It should not be taken lightly and deserves real time and investment in creating.The guys share some tips on creating a code for yourself, writing one out, and making the conscious decision to live by this code every single day, no matter the circumstances. They also end the episode by sharing their personal codes of conduct, which provide them with the direction and clarity they need daily.Show NotesThe Code. The Evaluation.

In this episode, we found ourselves in the danger zone watching a surprise nuclear weapon plot in the fun movie Top Gun: Maverick (2022) where Tom Cruise needs to teach a crew of hot shot misfits to airstrike a uranium enrichment facility on the Death Star (kind of). Why did Top Gun sequel feel the need to raise the nuclear stakes in the plot? Any real life influence on the story related to airstrikes against similar nuclear facilities? Will this movie series ever run out of teambuilding activities to play on the beach sand? Tim Westmyer (@NuclearPodcast) and co-host/aviation guru Gabe answer these questions and more.

Ultimately, we’ve come to a point when we have lived at the limit of a good enough life in a broken society.We feel like I have reached the edge of the “minimum” life. People are searching for something more in every possible idea, belief, self-help book, television show, and celebrity spokespersons but we know only God can take us to the next stage in our lives.Jesus Triumphal Entry – Matthew 21When Jesus entered the city on Sunday, Palm Sunday, he was greeted by cheering crowds proclaiming Him king much to the dismay of the religious leaders, Pontius Pilot, and the 10th Roman Legion, who had taken up residence in the Antonia Fortress to control the enormous crowds that swelled the city during Passover. A time where the normal population of Jerusalem grew from 100,000 to over a million people in a matter of days. Jewish unrest was rampant during the time of Jesus with numerous radical rebellions and uprising occurring all throughout Palestine. The northern territory of Galilee, Jesus’s home, was a fountain of radical thought and revolutionary movements during this time, around 32 A.D. Jesus entering the city, on Passover, with a million frustrated Jews, and the crowds loudly proclaiming him King was more than volatileThe Jewish leaders would have been shocked and outraged at Jesus’s behavior at the temple, chasing out the money changers and the Romans were on high alert because of the events surrounding Jesus in the city.The Delegation Confronts Jesus – Matthew 21 and 22The Parable of the Wedding Feast – Matthew 22:1-14“And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, 3 and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ 5 But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ 10 And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests. 11 “But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. 12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”The warning in these two parables is if we do not continue to cultivate Christians in the correct way based on biblical truths, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from us and given to someone else. This is regardless of how big our church may be, how many members we have, how famous we are on tv, how many books we sell, or speaking engagements we book.We are all equal in the eyes of God and the Holy Spirit and we can just as easily grieve the Holy Spirit in ways potentially detrimental to our relationship with Christ, which we will go into more detail in later discussions.Just because we stand and say, “I believe” during a church service doesn’t insure we will inherit the Kingdom of God. It is so much more in the relationship, the way we live out our lives for Christ and being present in the Holy Spirit than it is just to say a couple words and join a bible study.Why is this important as we come to the next stage in life in partnership with the Holy Spirit? We’ve discussed “where” we are. Before we discuss “how” to get there, I believe it’s important we talk about “why” first. Why Now?Revelation 7:9 (ESV)A Great Multitude from Every Nation: “After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,”There are 85 verses in the Bible stating Jesus will not return again until the Word of God has reach:a) All the peoplesb) The whole worldc) Every tribe and language and people and nationd) Every kneee) Every tongueWhat is a people group?“An ethno-linguistic group with a common self-identity that is shared by the various members. For strategic purposes it is the largest group within which the Gospel can spread without encountering barriers of understanding or acceptance.”11,757 people groups (7.6 billion people)How many are unreached?7.088 unreached people groups (4.5 billion people)“A people group is considered unreached (UPG) when there is no indigenous community of believing Christians able to engage this people group with church planting. Technically speaking, the percentage of evangelical Christians in this people group is less than 2 percent.”How many are unreached unengaged?3,159 unengaged unreached people groups (238 million people)“Unreached people groups are unengaged (UUPG) when there is no church planting strategy, consistent with evangelical faith and practice, under way. Gathering believers and planting churches are the keys to establishing an effective and multiplying presence among these people groups.”Table 71 – YWAM Group. 25 ministries bringing the gospel to the remaining tongues and people group of the World. Reaching every Unengaged Unreached People Group (UUPG). The goal is to establish a strong and viable church within each of the UPGs, so that the number of UPGs is reduced to zero. By 2020, Onestory.org, will be initiating such work in more than 5,500 UPGs (unreached people groups) by the year 2020. By 2025, all of the plans to reach the UUPG’s will be submitted by the teams we saw in the video. By 2026, all of the plans will be approved and will begin implementation. Again, we ask, why now?Because the minimum requirements for the second coming will have been met, completing the prophecy that before Christ will come again every tongue and people group will have heard the word of God.Now, let me be clear, I am not prophesying that I know when and where the second coming will take place. “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” – Matthew 24:36. What I am saying is boxes will all be checked, and the stage will be set for the second coming. God could choose not to come for another 500 years but the urgency remains the same.Matthew 25:14-3019 “After a long time their master returned from his trip and called them to give an account of how they had used his money.” We cannot know when but we know we have to be prepared to give an account. We can’t waste anytime in performing our duties now for when God comes again. The time is now. The urgency is now.Urgency and Immediacy just Like When John wrote the Book of Revelations“However, if we were to canvass the prophetic utterances of the Hebrew Bible and the phenomenon of prophecy within the New Testament and early Christian worship, we might instead arrive at the conclusion that, while prophecy could include a predictive element, it was primarily a declaration of God’s action in the present. In these cases, prophecy served as an announcement of God’s evaluation of the present actions of God’s people, diagnosing problems and calling for realignment with God’s values.” – https://blog.logos.com/2016/08/3-mistakes-people-make-reading-revelation/We will never know for certain if the book of Revelations actually comes true unless we are around for the events to occur or we are in heaven. What we can know for certain was the expressed urgency of the writing that mirrored the cultural context of where John was and the events that happened, precluding him to write the text with the assistance of the Holy Spirit.The sense of immediacy with which John writes made it sound like the events would occur within the current generation of peoples. However, when it did not occur because the prophecy of Revelations 7:9, which we previously discussed, had not come to pass, the Christians of the day made written copies of the manuscripts; in order to, disseminate them throughout the nations. This brings up a concept which we will talk more about in later sessions having to do with the two forms of God’s will we see in the Bible relating to The Hidden will of God and the Revealed Will of God.How do we get to the next stage in life in partnership with the Holy Spirit? Now that we’ve discussed the current cultural climate and why it’s important that we begin now, we can now discuss the how and introduce the ministry in our discussion on what we need to do.“There is the right way and then there is everything else which is inferior. Everything can be backed up and documented. You cannot do something that is new.” – Dave Berke,Dave is a retired U.S. Marine Corps officer, fighter pilot, ground combat leader. He was an F/A-18 pilot deployed twice from the USS John C Stennis in support of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He spent three years as an Instructor Pilot at TOPGUN where he served as the Training Officer, the senior staff pilot responsible for conduct of the TOPGUN course.We are at a pivotal moment in our world history where nearly every possible idea or iteration of an idea has already been developed or created. The same can be said about God’s word. The bible in its latest canon, is the living word of God and it is infallible. Therefore, every possible way of sharing God’s word has been conceived and performed. All of the moments in its rich history tie beautifully into the dynamics of our human history.History is commonly referred to as, God’s Story because after all, we were all created by God and I believe that all wisdom and understanding comes from Him, therefore it is His Story to us so that we may learn everything we need to know to be better men and better followers for His Kingdom.What do we have to believe?1. We believe God is the King above all kings2. We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God3. We believe in the Holy Spirit, its power and its presence in us4. We believe in Jesus’ crucifixion on the cross5. We believe in the resurrection and that Jesus conquered death6. We believe in the Holy Spirits calling for us7. We believe He is coming back againWhat we have to avoid:We are always competing for money and market share. Enough! We aren’t competing and we are not separate. We are all part of one body of Christ. I would prefer not to use secular media as a quote for a scripture-based training program, however, in this case I found it quite fitting: “Winter is coming. We stand together or we all die” – Tyrion Lannister, Game of ThronesThe objective is to take back territory from the darkness not to squabble and fight amongst ourselves for donor bases. The sooner we all wake up to that the more equipped to tackle the real enemy we will be.We cannot be naïve to the enemy’s tacticsThree Questions:1. How do we improve the Kingdom?2. How do we improve the lives of others?3. How do we improve our own lives?When we can search for answer to these three foundational questions, we then begin to understand what is truly at stake.

Adapting to life's escalating challenges.  How to be prepared for unpredictable situations.

This podcast shares the habits and practices of peak performers and top leaders, from many walks of life; physicians, senior executives, entrepreneurs, and academics. And from every season, from the seasoned and sage to those emerging leaders and rising rock stars. All who are blazing trails and shining a light for others. After a 23-year stint in the Marine Corp, including time as a TOPGUN instructor, Dave Berke has teamed up with Echelon Front to develop and train leaders in non-military sectors. Dave argues that leadership is leadership, no matter the venue. He believes the skills and attributes needed to be an excellent military officer are no different than those needed by leaders in the private sector. And what does he believe is the more important attribute of a leader? Humility. Dave makes the argument that humility is what makes us sweat the details; it’s what makes us disclose our mistakes so that we and others can learn from them. Humility is what propels us to painstakingly prepare for less-than-ideal situations and scenarios. And when it comes to being prepared, Dave believes many leaders use the “out of my control” excuse too liberally. Obviously, there are many factors over which have little, if any, control. But that doesn’t mean we can’t anticipate difficult, less-than-idea scenarios and plan accordingly. In the same way a pilot doesn’t complain about not being able to control the weather, an effective leader won’t complain about what he can’t control but will instead prepare for difficult scenarios. Dave calls “looking out for your own best interest” a losing strategy. By looking out for the interests of the organization and of those around us, we will, in fact, do what’s best, in the long run, for ourselves too.

There’s a lot of research out there to support the notion that leaders who make decisions quickly are viewed more favorably among employees. Decision-making is a critical skill for you to hone and build. Marine fighter pilot and top gun instructor, Dave Berke, shares how fighter pilots strategies, like the OODA Loop, can help you decide which career path to follow and even which company to work for (Cough! Cough! PepsiCo! Cough! Cough!).

Dave Berke is a retired Marine fighter pilot and Top Gun instructor who now is a part of the leadership team at Echelon Front. He is back for a fourth time on Explore The Space to continue our exploration of team based culture. Every time we have these conversations, I'm fired up for the next one.

Becoming better leaders is something all of us are striving to become. And, there's no better place to learn how to be an effective leader than the battlefield of Ramadi, Iraq during one of the most dangerous times during the Iraq War. My guest today is Dave Berke, an instructor with Echelon Front and retired Marine Corps officer and fighter pilot. Today, we talk about taking those leadership lessons and applying them in civilian life, the importance of finding purposeful work, how to keep your children from going soft, delegating roles and responsibilities, and overcoming the obstacles of reality. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The importance of finding a purposeful mission Overcoming the obstacles of reality Understanding that there are no shortcuts in life How air combat differs from ground combat What is the "best of combat" How to combat loss How to create a meaningful life The purpose of warriors How to keep kids from going soft Why you should be careful of solving people's problems Setting realistic expectations for yourself and others Delegating roles and responsibilities When getting too close to your team hinders performance Why you need to understand that conflict is not a bad thing DAVE BERKE My guest today is Dave Berke. He is a retired Marine Corps officer, fighter pilot, and ground combat leader. He spent three years as an instructor at TOPGUN and later went on to support task unit bruiser on the ground in Ramadi. He's flown the F-16, F-18, F-22, and F-35 but gave that up to serve in multiple combat missions in some of the most dangerous cities in Iraq. He's since gone on to become a leadership instructor with Echelon Front on the subject of leadership, decision making, risk mitigation, and creating winning teams.

Feedback Loops, including the OODA Loop & Leadership Lt Col. Retired, David “Chip” Berke is our guest this week.  Dave served 23 years as a Marine, mostly flying airplanes as a fighter pilot.  He is currently with Echelon Front as a Leadership Instructor. Dave shares his experience with the OODA loop as a pilot, forward air controller, and in the business environment.  We also discuss the science and art of this process, and how this applies in sales, learning, and leadership. Questions Addressed What is the OODA Loop? How do you apply the OODA loop or feedback loops today in business? How do feedback loops apply to leadership? How do questions apply to this process? Key Takeaways John Boyd F-86 pilot - Korean War Boyd figured out that there is a process that we use to make a decision. The capability of your equipment can’t be what limits your success. OODA loop translates into every aspect of our lives.  There are four phases/stages - Observe, Orient, Decide, & Act - Repeat When it comes to data, there are things we can gather, there are things we are looking for that we miss, and there are things we simply discover. Assumptions get in the way of Observations. Transformation of data to information - this is hard - putting the data into context The more times you do something the easier it is to assess and determine the potential outcomes The more experienced we are - the likelihood that our decisions will be correct. There is a lot of science in data acquisition, however some of the decisions are more art than science. You need to rely on your instincts. Making Decisions is Hard, but not that Hard.  People are pretty good at this part. There is a discussion between decision and action Taking action is Hard - Once you take action, you now own the outcome. The action is the thing that matters most. Once you take action, you immediately get feedback, this starts the loop again. The deciding factor for success is how quickly you can act.You are going to be wrong, we are always making mistakes. Act, inform, re-act, reinform, re-act, inform - create efficiency in action EM Diagram - Energy Management - equipment - shows you what you are good at & what you are not good at. You can do this for yourself and competitors and define a plan that helps you avoid your competitors' strengths. DO the reps - take action, this is how you get better. The debrief is part of the process, it is If you want to get good at leading - LEAD, take the feedback, apply to scenarios, gain experience. Apply the information within your feedback loop, and use it to learn, adapt, and act. Two ways to get good at something - Experience & Training “You do not want to be the best salesperson in a company that goes bankrupt” You can give yourself more information to orient on by asking questions. Your intuition, your presumptions, they are not natural, they are based on your experience. The more reps you get, the better you will get. The lessons in “Extreme Ownership” are applicable in every aspect of life Show Links Dave’s blog posts Echelon Front Dave's Twitter Jocko Podcast Ep #69 OODA Loop - John Boyd Extreme Ownership - Leif Babin, Jocko Willink Lean Startup - Eric Reis Call to Action Please share your stories with us @catalystsale on twitter or via hello@catalystsale.com  We'd like to hear how you apply the OODA loop or feedback loops into your work. ---------------------- Thank you Ratings & reviews help others discover the podcast - thank you for helping us get the message out to the community.

Dave shares principles that fostered success in his career and the missions that he joined, and he stresses how they translate exactly to any endeavor. Some quick previews: Mental strength trumps physical … Stop dreaming and commit … Sabotage your own escape routes … Accept your fears … Lock up doubt … Only you can defeat you … Reveal your flaws and save others from your mistakes. You'll also hear about the supreme importance of relationships—such as the one founded on this day between these two fighters.
