This episode covers a short summary of the book Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin and how the impact of this book changed my life. I have been molded by the philosophy and psychology of Jocko Willink and the mental toughness that he embodies as a former Navy Seal Team leader.

How have you responded to what felt like catastrophic failures? How did you process not getting the job you applied for or seeing your business and efforts fall apart? What is the best way to respond when people you love doubt you will ever find success because of your past failures? In this Q & A, Tom breaks down how to reframe and learn from your failures by interrupting the wrong thoughts, and seeing what you can do better next time. He reveals exactly why having people you love doubt you can be the gift anyone can possibly offer you. Being mindful that failure is a lesson and not an experience to be tied to or defined by will help you embrace the gift of failure, which exists to help you acquire skills faster. Tom's is sharing exactly how you can have mind blowing success and surpass everyone's expectations, even your own.

Reframe it, recognize you have power, recognize you have control over what you do, and recognize that if you leave people in awe [...] the only way to really have mind blowing success in life is to set the bar ridiculously high, and then surpass all expectations.” [33:20] “the greatest gift anyone can ever give you is doubt.” [35:03] “These people had not misidentified me.

Landscape designers have a deep understanding of the natural world and how it can be manipulated to create works of beauty. They combine their knowledge with creativity, patience, hard work, and good judgment to design landscape features that are not just aesthetically pleasing but also functional. Derek Taussig has been in the landscaping industry for over a decade. In this episode, he shares his entrepreneurial journey, some secrets to his success, and the consequences of his decisions, such as a failed partnership. Derek is the Owner and Landscape Designer at Taussig Landscape. The company provides landscaping and hardscaping, including patios, irrigation, maintenance for lawn care, and snow management to Manhattan, KS, and the surrounding areas. He spent most of his life growing up here in Manhattan and working in the landscape industry. He started his original lawn care business as a young teen and ran it until 2003. He sold the business and joined the Kansas Army National Guard as a combat medic. He worked at professional landscape companies with nation-building knowledge and experience when not deployed overseas. After eight years in the Guard and numerous deployments, he ended his service to start school at Kansas State University. This was when Taussig Landscape was created in 2011 as a part-time business to get him through college. The business ended up doing so well that he decided to take it on a full time, building it to be one of the local leaders in the landscape industry. Tune in!

We are finally back! Sorry for the delay in getting episodes out—we just moved from New York to Florida and couldn't find the time to podcast. But we are settled in now, and for our first episode of 2021, we decided to tackle the psychology of new year's resolutions. Why do we make new year's resolutions, and why do so few of us actually keep them? Statistically, 80 percent of people will drop their resolutions by February, and the exercise app Strava has deemed January 19th "Quitter's Day" because of how many people stopped logging their exercise by that date. But there is value in using the fresh start of a new year to change yourself for the better. It seems to highlight a delicate tension between discipline and hard work on the one hand versus enjoying life in the present and having self-compassion on the other hand. As the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire says: “Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.” But knowing when to pause and be happy and when to dig in and be disciplined can be difficult, especially because we are so good at lying to ourselves. So in this episode, we talk through new year's resolutions and where they go wrong. And digging deeper, we also zoom into the psychology of sacrifice and discipline. Making sacrifices in the present in order to have a better future seems obvious, but when we view it through the evolutionary lens it is really quite an amazing discovery. Timestamps:coming soon!

Frustration is a dirty drip and if left unattended can contaminate your gas tank. In this solocast episode I talk about frustration and what I have been working through. It became obvious to me that I have allowed frustrations to build over the past month or two, truly I have allowed these to go unchecked and that is not me. Life is what you make of it, one of my core philosophies is not allowing the circumstances of life to dictate my attitude. I live it and I believe it. While I work diligently at living this as a lifestyle sometimes the perfect storm comes and I take my eye off the ball. But I am back! I have made the mission clear to re-calibrate and deal with these frustrations more effectively than ever. One thing I point to in this episode is mindset. This video from Jocko spells it out in such an awesome way it mirrors how I live my life and have for more than half a decade. Get some!

In this episode, we had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Scott Gmora. Dr. Gmora is a minimally invasive and bariatric surgeon at McMaster University. He did his medical school at Queen's, residency in Calgary, trauma fellowship in Miami and bariatric fellowship at St. Luke-Roosevelt Hospital in New York under Dr. Texeira. In this episode, we had a blast talking about a wide range of topics, and in particular, we discuss the challenges of surgical training in an era of restricted work hours. Dr. Gmora had some brilliant strategies of how to get the most of out of training. This is a must-listen for every surgical resident. Links: 1.
