A doctor said he needed knee surgery. He said no. Robert Norris is 22 years old, has Down syndrome, and completes Ironman triathlons without a guide. He taught himself to ride a bike, swam with Navy SEALs in the Hudson River, ran the Boston Marathon through bloody blisters, and trains daily with a volume most able-bodied athletes never touch: 80-mile bike rides, 10-mile runs, 2100-yard swims.   Joe De Sena sits down with Robert and his mother, Wanda, a retired Navy veteran, to unpack how a slipped kneecap became a turning point, why Robert refuses to quit under any condition, and what happens when a young man with an extra chromosome decides the hard way is the only way. This episode delivers a direct challenge: if Robert Norris can show up every single day without excuses, what is stopping you?   Things You Will Learn: Why a physical setback can become the trigger for a higher standard instead of a retreat. The structure behind a non-negotiable daily routine that eliminates the need for motivation. What consistent action proves to the people who expect you to stop.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Setback-to-Standard Conversion: Use injury or adversity as the catalyst for a higher training commitment, not a reason to stop. Non-Negotiable Daily Structure: Wake time, bedtime, training order, and nutrition are locked in. Remove decision fatigue. Execute the plan. Progressive Proof of Capability: Start with one mile. Then eighteen. Then a hundred. Let results silence doubt.   If this episode moved you, do not just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   Robert Norris is a Guinness World Record–holding endurance athlete who redefined limits by becoming the first athlete with Down syndrome to complete a full Ironman triathlon independently, setting the fastest time in his category.

Herb Thompson had already made it. He was Drill Sergeant of the Year, on a clear path to a top enlisted career, and could have stayed where it was safe. He didn't. In this conversation with Joe De Sena, Special Forces veteran Herb Thompson explains why he walked away from the secure path to chase the dream he had since childhood: becoming a Green Beret.   Herb breaks down fear of failure, why most people talk instead of act, how he survived Special Forces selection without feedback, and what it took to rebuild purpose after retirement. This episode is about ownership, sacrifice, and performance under uncertainty. You will leave with practical rules for taking action, handling discomfort, and building a life around what you are willing to earn.   Things You Will Learn: Why ownership matters more than motivation when the goal gets hard. How to break overwhelming pressure into small, winnable steps. Why sacrifice, not talk, is what turns a dream into a result.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Own Your Journey Rule: puts responsibility for progress back on you. Small Chunk Execution: breaks hard goals into immediate next steps under pressure. Sacrifice Filter: clarifies what you are willing to give up to earn what you want.   If this episode moved you, don't just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   Herb Thompson is the only person in Army history to earn both Drill Sergeant of the Year and the Green Beret, a path built on hardship, childhood trauma, and a refusal to quit under extreme pressure. His journey spans combat missions, brutal selection courses, and a post-military identity rebuild that demanded a new kind of discipline. Herb now helps high performers redefine purpose beyond titles through writing, speaking, and leadership development.    Connect to Herb: Website: https://libertyspeaks.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/herb-thompson-libertyspeaks/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_ownyourjourney_ The Transition Mission Book: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B082RL1SJ2   We gave you the tools, now use them during your next SPARTAN RACE!

Em cada dia, Luís Caetano propõe um poema na voz de quem o escreveu.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nine soldiers in a hilltop position. Rocket-propelled grenades and machine gun fire from every direction. Seven killed. One man left on the radio, calling for help that was not coming. That is where this episode begins. In this Memorial Day special of The Hard Way, Joe De Sena sits down with four men who faced the most extreme physical and mental breaking points a human being can endure.   Medal of Honor recipient Ryan Pitts fought alone and was wounded at a remote observation post in Afghanistan after losing seven teammates around him. Navy SEAL leader Leif Babin breaks down how extreme ownership and the refusal to quit create an advantage when everyone else is suffering. Navy pilot Keegan Gill was ejected from a fighter jet at 695 miles per hour, shattered nearly every major bone in his body, and spent two hours drowning in the Atlantic. Green Beret Nick Lavery lost his leg to machine gun fire in Afghanistan, then fought his way back to become the first above-knee amputee to return to active duty special operations.   Each story delivers a concrete lesson in endurance under fire, ownership of outcomes, and the decision to keep going when quitting is the logical choice.    Things You Will Learn: Why the person who hangs on one minute longer is the one who wins. What extreme ownership looks like in combat and why it builds lasting toughness in any environment. Why asking for help is not a weakness, and why the toughest operators on the planet treat mental health the same as a broken ankle.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Outlast the Field: You do not need to be the best. You need to be the last one still moving when everyone else stops. Extreme Ownership: Own every failure. Share every lesson. The ego hit is temporary. The growth is permanent. Burn the Boats Standard: No Plan B. Meet the standard or die trying. Gray area does not exist at the highest level.   If this episode moved you, do not just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   Guests Bios:   Ryan Pitts: Medal of Honor recipient. On July 13, 2008, at a remote observation post in Wanat, Afghanistan, Pitts was wounded in the opening seconds of a massive enemy assault that killed seven of his fellow soldiers. Alone and bleeding, he continued fighting and called for reinforcements on the radio, holding his position until help arrived. He was 22 years old. Pitts spent a year recovering at Walter Reed and has since dedicated himself to sharing the stories of the men who fought beside him and the importance of seeking help when the fight follows you home.   Leif Babin: Former Navy SEAL officer and co-author of Extreme Ownership. Babin led SEAL operations in Ramadi, Iraq, during some of the most intense urban combat of the war. He lost teammates in action and carried those lessons into leadership consulting, teaching that owning your failures — not hiding them — is the foundation of real toughness and lasting performance.   Keegan Gill: Former Navy fighter pilot. During a training exercise over the Atlantic, a system malfunction sent his jet into an unrecoverable dive. He ejected at 695 miles per hour, two seconds from impact. The force shattered both arms, both legs, broke his neck, and caused a traumatic brain injury. His parachute release malfunctioned, and he spent two hours being drowned by his own chute in freezing water before rescue. He woke up two weeks later in a trauma center.   Nick Lavery: Green Beret and the first above-knee amputee to return to active duty special operations. On his third deployment to Afghanistan, machine gun fire destroyed his right leg. From his hospital bed, he committed to returning to his team with no backup plan. After two years of rehabilitation and 14 weeks of assessment, he returned to the same team that was with him when he was wounded and deployed back to Afghanistan seven weeks later. He served 20 years total.   We gave you the tools, now use them during your next SPARTAN RACE! Use codeword PODCAST on checkout for 10% your next race.

Programa - ENCONTRO COM O PASTOR - São Bernardino de Sena - 20.05.2026

At 29 years old, Matt Grace weighed 129 pounds and walked into his mother's house after a three-day crack and alcohol binge. She told him that if he was going to die, it would not be in her house. That was the boundary that started everything.   On this episode of The Hard Way, Joe De Sena sits down with Matt Grace, author of God Doesn't Relapse: Sex, Drugs, and the Life That Almost Killed Me, a former ABC TV reporter who overdosed in a newsroom and spent 13 years destroying every relationship through addiction, manipulation, and enabling.   Matt breaks down how his father's well-intentioned spoiling robbed him of grit and ambition, how his family's enabling nearly killed him, and what happened the morning he got on his knees with a rifle beside him and prayed out of sheer desperation. They also dig into why parents loving their kids too much can be a death sentence, why service is the foundation of lasting recovery, and how structured accountability and community pull people out of destruction.   Things You Will Learn: Why enabling and over-providing destroys a young person's ambition and capacity to endure hardship. The difference between a boundary that saves a life and a rescue that ends one, and what it takes to hold the line. Why service and community replace the void that addiction fills, and why recovery without purpose does not hold.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Hard Boundary Setting: Draw the line. Hold the line. Let consequences teach what words cannot. Service as Structure: Replace self-obsession with outward action. One hour helping someone else is one hour not destroying yourself. Earned Identity Over Given Identity: Stop handing outcomes to your kids. Let them grind. Let them earn. The struggle builds the person.   If this episode moved you, do not just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   Matt Grace is an author and transformational recovery expert who has spent more than two decades sober after overcoming addiction himself. With a degree in Addiction Studies and over 10,000 hours mentoring individuals and families, he has dedicated his life to helping people break destructive cycles and rebuild their lives. His work focuses on long-term sobriety, mindset transformation, and guiding people through the difficult but necessary process of reclaiming responsibility and purpose.   Connect to Matt: Website: https://mattgrace.com/  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@mattsavinggrace TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@MattSavingGrace  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattsavinggrace/  God Doesn't Relapse: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/God-Doesnt-Relapse/Matt-Grace/9781637635506   We gave you the tools, now use them during your next SPARTAN RACE!

A Marine intelligence collector walked through rocket blasts, absorbed traumatic brain injuries he never reported, and came home to hallucinations so severe he planned to end his own life. Dennis Connors, a Marine Corps veteran, human intelligence operator for a tier-one unit, Paralympic silver medalist, and world champion cyclist, sits down with Joe De Sena to break apart the moment grit stops working and what has to replace it.   Dennis lays out his four pillars of perseverance: vulnerability, self-love, disciplined action, and community. He explains why toughness without honesty becomes a death sentence, why identity tied to achievement collapses under pressure, and how cycling gave him both a recovery tool and a tribe that pushed him toward the help he refused to ask for.   Things You Will Learn: When grit becomes a liability and what structured perseverance looks like before breakdown hits. The four pillars that replaced white-knuckling it and why each one matters in sequence. Why identity tied to achievement collapses under pressure, and what to anchor self-worth to instead.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Four Pillars of Perseverance: Vulnerability, self-love, disciplined action, and community. A structured framework for long-term recovery and sustained performance. Grit vs. Perseverance Distinction: Grit handles short-term strain. Perseverance handles the years. Know which mode you are in before it fails. Identity Separation Protocol: Detach identity from a single role so transitions do not destroy self-worth.   If this episode moved you, do not just listen.

Starting a company feels like eating glass for breakfast. Every morning. Olympic rowing hopeful turned five-time founder Patrick Sweeney sits down with Joe De Sena to break down exactly what it takes to cross the belief gap that kills most startups before they ever gain traction.   Patrick went from setting rowing records at UNH to finishing second at the Olympic Trials in the single scull, then carried that same pain tolerance straight into building and exiting technology companies. He explains how the OODA loop, a military fighter pilot doctrine, can replace startup chaos with a weekly cadence. Patrick also unpacks why 95% of top CEOs admit to impostor syndrome and how shared belief maps prevent the illusion of alignment that tears founding teams apart.   Things You Will Learn: Build a shared belief map that exposes hidden misalignment before it breaks your team. Run weekly OODA loop stand-ups that replace startup chaos with structured cadence. Apply the belief gap framework to test hypotheses, track market-product fit, and know when to hit the kill switch.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: OODA Loop Stand-Up: A 30-minute weekly cadence to observe, orient, decide, and act so founders stop reacting and start executing. Shared Belief Map: A team alignment exercise that surfaces hidden disagreements between cofounders and forces clarity on core beliefs versus testable hypotheses. Belief Gap Framework: A model for tracking internal believers (employees, partners) and external believers (customers, investors) to measure whether your startup is crossing from conviction to traction.   If this episode moved you, don't just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   Patrick Sweeney built a life that looked successful on paper: serial entrepreneur, investor, multiple exits, but beneath it lived a quiet, persistent fear that kept him playing small. A rare leukemia diagnosis forced a confrontation with mortality and sparked a complete mindset rewiring: fear wasn't the enemy, it was fuel.   Since beating cancer, Patrick has turned that philosophy into action, setting cycling world-firsts on Kilimanjaro and Elbrus, competing in extreme endurance races, authoring the Wall Street Journal bestselling book Fear Is Fuel, and teaching leaders how to convert anxiety into calculated risk, resilience, and bold execution.   Connect to Patrick:  Website: https://www.pjsweeney.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefearguru/?_ga=2.160567998.289526298.1772475980-622572230.1772475980  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PatrickSweeneyFearGuru/?_ga=2.265952780.289526298.1772475980-622572230.1772475980  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thefearguru/?_ga=2.265952780.289526298.1772475980-622572230.1772475980  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9llimdnGK79yk3K_ihYQEQ  X/ Twitter:  https://x.com/PJSweeney?_ga=2.265952780.289526298.1772475980-622572230.1772475980  Book Patrick for an event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MnMjHNo9Bs   We gave you the tools, now use them during your next SPARTAN RACE!

A stiff knee looked like a minor problem. Two days later, it was swelling toward the size of a basketball.   Then doctors opened it and found an infection eating him from the inside out. Zachary Garner is a Green Beret, firefighter, and ultra-endurance athlete, and this episode is built around visible stakes: brutal deployments, a catastrophic Ironman crash, traumatic brain injury, seizures, and a fight with flesh-eating bacteria that spread from hip to ankle, into his bloodstream, bones, pelvis, and heart.   He was told it could end fast. He was moved to Mass General, spent time in the ICU, had two strokes, and coded twice. Zachary breaks down what kept him moving forward: discomfort as training, purpose as a stabilizer, loyalty as a standard, and service as the operating system. You'll leave with disciplined rules you can apply when you're stuck, overwhelmed, or looking for excuses.   Things You Will Learn: How to use purpose as a coping mechanism when quitting starts to feel logical. How to normalize discomfort so you don't fold under pressure. How loyalty and service create structure when civilian life feels flat after high-intensity environments.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Do-It-For-Them Anchor: keeps endurance and resilience steady when motivation drops. Discomfort Reps: builds mental toughness through repeated, controlled exposure to discomfort. Service-First Operating System: aligns discipline, responsibility, and daily actions to a clear purpose.   Let's make it something similar to this: If this episode moved you, don't just listen.

One bad decision had put him and his brother in a position where no one was coming to help.   In this episode of The Hard Way, Joe De Sena sits down with Alone season 4 winner and extreme explorer Jim Baird to break down remote survival, mental strain, and the consequences of poor judgment in unforgiving environments.   Jim explains why Alone was mentally harder than his most dangerous expeditions, how hardship builds real resilience, and why ownership matters when things go wrong. This episode gives you practical lessons on discipline, endurance, and making better decisions under pressure, grounded in real stakes.   Things You Will Learn: How to recognize when a bad decision becomes a survival problem and what to do next. Why mental endurance breaks faster than physical strength in isolation.

Machine gun rounds took his right leg in Afghanistan. Nick Lavery decided that wasn't the end. He's an active-duty Green Beret with 5th Special Forces Group, and he went back to the teams as an above-the-knee amputee after a 14-week assessment designed to answer one question: asset or liability. In this conversation with Joe De Sena, Nick breaks down the hard part people miss. The low points. The doubts. The shift from proving himself to owning responsibility for the men beside him and their families. He explains why standards beat feelings, why emotion and logic can't drive the same decision, and why physical training is the most honest way to build mental toughness. You'll leave with practical rules for discipline, resilience, and performance under pressure, built from real stakes.   Things You Will Learn: How to transition from 'prove it' to ownership so your discipline holds when motivation collapses. How to separate emotion from decisions by letting a team or standard run the logic when you can't. How to use physical training as a daily discipline tool to build mental toughness that you can measure.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Asset vs. Liability Standard: clarifies performance and responsibility under high stakes. Analysis vs. Dwelling Rule: turns setbacks into usable data instead of emotional loops. Physical Training as an Operational System: builds discipline, endurance, and mental toughness with objective metrics.   If this episode moved you, don't just listen. Do something about it. Sign up.

Joe De Sena sits down with Johnnie Yellock, Air Force Combat Controller, combat search and rescue operator, IED survivor, Spartan finisher, and Sons of the Flag advocate.

Quitting at the right time takes more discipline than pushing to the top. Elite high-altitude mountaineer David Göttler talks with Joe De Sena about turning around 100 meters from Everest without oxygen, using fear as data at 8,000 meters, and why getting down is mandatory. They break down decision rules, ego control, endurance, and training mental toughness before the crisis hits.   Hard standards matter. Disciplined decisions wins. Resilience must hold when energy and clarity drop.   Things You Will Learn: How to set hard turnaround rules and keep them. How to use fear as a signal, not a weakness. How to train in discomfort so performance holds under pressure. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Pre-Set Rules: Decide at sea level. Execute at 8,000 meters. Hard Turnaround Time: Summit is optional. Getting down is mandatory. Discomfort Training: Train tired. Train cold. Train when you don't feel like it. If this episode moved you, don't just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   David Göttler's relationship with the mountains began in fear—at age ten, he froze in panic during his first climb and didn't return for three years, before choosing persistence over comfort and committing his life to the mountains.   Now an elite high-altitude mountaineer known for climbing light and fast without supplemental oxygen, he has summited multiple 8,000-meter peaks and learned that survival at the edge depends on discipline, self-awareness, and the strength to turn back when ambition threatens good judgment.   Connect to David: Website: https://david-goettler.de/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david_goettler/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/David.Goettler.alpinist/?locale=es_LA  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@david_goettler    We gave you the tools, now use them during your next SPARTAN RACE!

Winning early often creates weak habits later.

Things You Will Learn: How standards drive long-term athlete development Why struggle and loss are necessary for resilience How parents and coaches should enforce accountability Tools & Frameworks Covered: Standards-First Coaching: creates clarity and accountability Purpose vs. Outcome Thinking: keeps development ahead of winning Recovery Discipline: balances effort without lowering standards Resilience isn't taught through speeches.

In this episode, former U.S. Army veteran, health and wellness entrepreneur, and podcast host Chase Chewning joins Joe De Sena to break down what happens when identity, purpose, and community are stripped away.

El proper 4 de febrer és el Dia Mundial contra el Càncer i una desena d'establiments de Lloret de Mar conviden la població a col·laborar a través d'esmorzars solidaris. La iniciativa és de la delegació de Lloret de la fundació Oncolliga Girona, que es repeteix després de l'èxit de l'any passat. Silvia Serrano, membre de la delegació lloretenca, subratlla que “el càncer està molt present a les nostres vides, tothom coneix algú amb aquesta malaltia” i recorda que “els esmorzars solidaris de l'any passat van tenir bona acollida i volem repetir”. Hi ha més establiments col·laboradors amb la causa que l'any passat. Són els següents: Sant Pere 70, Parada, Can Carbó, Solivins, Alarcón, Marsol, Can Comas, Anubis, Lo Más i la Terrassa del Bella (que ho farà l'endemà, 5 de febrer). Una part dels beneficis es destinaran a ajudar els malalts de càncer i les seves famílies, a més de finançar projectes de recerca i fer donatius als hospitals. A tothom que participi en els esmorzars, se'ls posarà un llaç dels colors que representen els diferents tipus de càncer. Per fer-ne més difusió, es demana als participants que facin una foto i ho pengin a Instagram amb les etiquetes corresponents com #oncolligalloret. “Volem convertir un gest quotidià com esmorzar en una acció solidària”Sílvia Serrano La delegació de Lloret d'Oncolliga Girona es va crear al 2024. Duu a terme accions per ajudar els malalts de càncer com aquests esmorzars, la Cursa de les Mames, recollida de cabells, venda de polseres o projeccions de cinema.

Dan DeSena is a transformational guide helping men achieve authentic growth. I asked Dan about his approach to teaching men about self-pleasure, sexual health, and emotional resilience. We spoke of the sacredness of sex as a spiritual practice, our personal experiences with energy-based orgasms.  Dan expanded on his journey from growing up in a religious family with restrictive views on sexuality to finding sacred sexuality work with John Wineland, which helped him integrate his masculinity and leadership qualities. He's learned to embrace his "darkness" and dominant energy while keeping his heart open, understanding that conscious women sense a man's true strength and authenticity. Dan emphasized that authentic leadership and dominance are not toxic when approached with love and awareness, and he now helps men navigate these aspects of their sexuality while maintaining emotional connection. Dan emphasized the importance of presence and conscious awareness during sexual experience, explaining how many men are trained to feel shame or anxiety about self-pleasure from a young age, leading to negative patterns in their sexual experiences. Dan shared his own journey of retraining his nervous system to practice self-pleasure without relying on fantasy or porn, and he advised men to focus on subtle pleasure and to make conscious choices about when to ejaculate. He also discussed how learning to be present during self-pleasure can improve sexual experiences with partners, as women often desire emotional connection and presence rather than just physical performance. Dan shared about the importance of a safe space for men to talk about sex and being honest with partners about sexual challenges while committing to personal growth and healing. Dan shared his own experience of ending a long-term relationship due to incompatible paths in addressing sexual issues, but stressed that honesty and personal work are crucial steps forward. Dan and I discussed our personal journeys of self-love and sexual awakening, embracing our vulnerability, authenticity, presence and developing self-compassion. I shared my experience personally and with clients- the interconnectedness of a fulfilling sex life with overall relationship satisfaction and the ripple effect of these qualities into other life areas. We both expressed a deep longing for a life where every interaction is infused with sacredness and love! As we discussed the sacredness of sex and the importance of treating it as a spiritual practice, Dan shared his experiences with cultivating sexual energy and having full-body orgasms, the concept of orgasm beyond ejaculation, and discussing how men can learn to control and direct their sexual energy.  It was so fun to explore hypothetical scenarios and share personal stories. On After The Show on Patreon, Dan revealed that his mother gave him a sex education talk when he was 10 years old, after he expressed admiration for Michael Jackson's song "Billie Jean." We danced and enjoyed our full self-expression and even got a taste of Dan demonstrating a full body orgasm on After the Show- a first! Dan explained the concept of a full-body orgasm, describing how to move energy through the body during sexual experiences. They agreed that presence and awareness are key to enjoying these experiences without losing connection with a partner. Discover more on Dan's site DanDeSena.com ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content! About Dan:   A respected guide in transformational work, Dan brings a grounded approach to personal mastery that resonates with men seeking authentic growth. Drawing from his rich background as a psychotherapist, musician, teacher, speaker, group leader, and healer, he creates brave spaces where men discover deeper confidence, purpose, and presence. His work transcends surface-level development, addressing the foundational elements of masculine identity while challenging outdated notions that no longer serve us. With a passionate commitment to transforming how men think about sexuality, confidence, masculinity, success, and happiness, he offers a refreshingly honest perspective on what true fulfillment looks like. Through practical wisdom and transformative practices, he guides men to embrace emotional intelligence alongside inner strength. Known for his direct communication style and compassionate approach, he meets men exactly where they are—no judgment, no shame tactics, just honest conversation and real tools for change. His philosophy centers on the belief that true confidence stems from self-mastery and emotional resilience. Participants in his programs consistently report profound shifts in their relationships, professional lives, and self-understanding.   Website:  https://www.dandesena.com Socials:  IG: https://www.instagram.com/dan_desena/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@dan.desena.coachi YT: https://www.youtube.com/@SexualSelfMasteryforMen Schedule your Intimacy Breakthrough Experience with me today https://allanapratt.com/connect Scholarship Code: READYNOW Finding the One is Bullsh*t.
