Jake Harriman—Naval Academy grad, Force Recon Marine, Bronze Star, founder of Nuru International and The Brickyard (formerly More Perfect Union)—joins the MTNTOUGH Podcast on a simple fear: you can live a good life and still waste it. After years off-grid fighting extremism through livelihoods, he came home and didn't recognize the country he'd fought for. Now he's building higher ground, not just common ground—40,000 Americans swinging hammers together, Civic Valor in schools, and five steps from his book Rescuing the Idea of America: believe, serve, connect, lead, restore. Also: loneliness, agency vs. the algorithm, and why one life changed is enough.Join Dustin Diefenderfer, Founder of MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab and creator of the MTNTOUGH+ Fitness App in the top podcast for Mental Toughness and Mindset.

Mental toughness in sports is the ability to stay confident, focused, composed, and in control when pressure, mistakes, frustration, and adversity challenge your mindset. In this episode, I explain how to build mental toughness in sports and develop the mental skills you need to compete with a stronger, more resilient mindset.
Mike Sarraille—former special operations leader, Chief Talent Officer at a veteran-owned company, and the man behind Fox Nation's Final Flight: The Men of Extortion 17—joins the MTNTOUGH Podcast on what companies still get wrong about veteran talent, why eight guys from the same platoon now work under one roof, and why a soldier dies twice: once in the field, and again when his name is spoken last. He covers the seven-continent skydive with Andy Stumpf, building brotherhood after the DD-214, the harsh cost of high performance (divorce, empty tank, no “balance”), his forthcoming book Teams, and why telling other men's stories is the work he wants to do for a lifetime.Join Dustin Diefenderfer, Founder of MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab and creator of the MTNTOUGH+ Fitness App in the top podcast for Mental Toughness and Mindset.

The focal point of this podcast episode centers on the concept of leadership and the qualities that embodies determination and resilience in the face of adversity. Our esteemed guest, Dr Dave Jones, engages in a profound discussion on the lessons he has learned in the sports, business, and faith worlds. Ultimately, we explore the complexities of motivation, underscoring the necessity of aligning one's actions with a higher calling to foster resilience in the face of life's inevitable trials.Takeaways: Understanding one's toxic motivators, such as fear and pride, is essential for developing mental toughness and maintaining a clear vision in challenging circumstances. The R7 process introduces a structured approach to achieving one's destiny by clarifying vision, developing strategy, and emphasizing the importance of prayer and action. Mental toughness is cultivated through awareness of one's emotional state and the effective management of stress and anxiety in daily life. The importance of community support is emphasized, as individuals are encouraged to seek assistance and share their challenges with others during difficult times.
The body may be ready—but is the mind?On this episode of Clearing The Bases, Dr. Robert Cabry—sports-medicine physician, Navy veteran, mental-performance specialist, and author of The Peak Performance Mind Code—joins me for an important conversation about the part of athletic development we often overlook.We discuss building confidence, using visualization, responding to failure, recovering from mistakes, and how the words and reactions of coaches and parents can directly affect a young athlete's mindset.Physical ability may get an athlete onto the field, but the ability to manage pressure, trust their preparation, and move on from failure often determines what happens next.Train the body. Develop the skills. Don't forget the mind.

What if healthcare focused less on treating problems after they happen and more on helping you understand and optimize your health before they do?In this episode, Keith Bozeman shares his unexpected journey from a successful career in IT to founding Medgevity, a concierge medical service built around personalized, proactive care. He opens up about how his faith, personal experiences, and passion for health shaped his vision for a different approach to wellness, one rooted in science, prevention, and treating the whole person.Tune in to discover what inspired Keith to rethink traditional healthcare and what personalized wellness can look like when you take a more proactive approach to your health.About Keith BozemanAfter decades of building and scaling an IT Company, Keith became a patient-looking for a more proactive, strategic approach to his health. He had a great doctor and experienced what healthcare could be: a physician who looked at the full picture, focused on prevention, and helped him think long term.But when he moved, that experience disappeared. Instead he found himself navigating the same fragmented system most people face-brief, insurance driven visits, disconnected providers and no clear strategy tying together fineness-nutrition and medicine. That frustration became the insight. Keith realized the problem wasn't a lack of information-it was a lack of integration and science backed guidance.So as a patient first, he built what he couldn't find: a physician-led, multidisciplinary model where experts collaborate around the patient, not in silos.

He tied it to his thigh and kept fighting. This episode is about April 7th—the hospital bed, the word “can't,” and the battles that don't come with a medal. John talks about being raised by his grandparents after both parents went to jail, becoming the first amputee to graduate Special Forces sniper school, choosing pain over pills, quitting drinking after Chris Kyle's death, 15 years of sobriety, and why every man needs mat carriers who will drag him to Jesus instead of the bar.Join Dustin Diefenderfer, Founder of MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab and creator of the MTNTOUGH+ Fitness App in the top podcast for Mental Toughness and Mindset.

RUGBY PHYSICAL PREPARATION AUDITGet the Rugby Muscle Training Week PlaybookJoin Team Rugby MuscleGet personalised 1on1 Coaching from me for S&CGet early access to the ALL-NEW 5-day Rugby Athlete BlueprintIn this episode, I explain why "training toughness" in rugby S&C is a massive mistake. Enduring brutal workouts doesn't build true mental grit it just sabotages the physical gains that actually improve your game. Because everyone hits physical limits, your training must focus on expanding raw capacity: strength, speed, power, and aerobic fitness. Raising your physical baseline lowers the relative effort of every match action, preserving the energy you need to execute skills and dominate the 80th minute. Build a deep "strength reserve" in the gym, and leave toughness practice for rugby itself.00:00 Why Toughness Is Overrated01:38 Capacity Beats Grit02:52 Key S&C Qualities04:51 Toughness Reserve Explained07:43 Momentum From Being Fit09:12 Military Training Myth11:27 Be Tough In Rugby12:29 Train Adaptations Not Pain13:45 Wrap Up And Next StepsSupport the show
We're told that winners never quit — but what if strategic quitting is the skill high performers are missing? In this episode, Brad sits down with Lindsay Crouse, author of The Case for Quitting and former New York Times editor and writer, to challenge the "never give up" mindset that quietly works against ambitious people.Lindsay shares her own journey from Harvard to career heights at the Times — including elevating women Olympians' voices to win maternity protections for pregnant athletes and commissioning the Times' first Academy Award–winning film — and how her superpower of relentless perseverance eventually started to undermine her performance and happiness.Together, Lindsay and Dr. Cooper unpack how perseverance and quitting are companion behaviors, not opposites. You'll learn why "Why am I continuing?" is a more useful question than "Should I quit?", how to tell the difference between healthy drive and fear-based grinding, and how to set "kill criteria" before you're too invested to think clearly. They dig into the spotlight effect and our overblown fear of judgment, why we regret inaction more than action, and the coach's wisdom to never quit on a bad day.Lindsay closes with a practical framework for anyone standing at a crossroads: picture the morning after you walk away, get clear on what you're moving toward (not just what you're escaping), and build a financial parachute so the choice is deliberate rather than impulsive.

Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with Adam J. Johnson, a 13 year Army veteran, combat medic, drill sergeant, and discipline coach, for a raw conversation about identity, addiction, and discipline. Adam traces his path from a directionless ex athlete who gained weight up to 275 lbs, to a personal trainer struggling after the 2008 recession, to a 28 year old Army enlistee who became a decorated NCO and senior drill sergeant. He opens up candidly about years of secretly battling alcohol addiction while excelling professionally, the identity crisis that fueled it, and how he built consistent systems to finally break the cycle. The conversation covers his new book, Redefined: The Discipline, and its companion 90 day journal, both built around his five code RTD system for turning self-honesty into lasting discipline. Episode Highlights: 3:29 — Adam recounts gaining 120 lbs after his football career ended, and the wake-up call that pushed him into fitness and nutrition. 15:04 — He shares his biggest life lesson in adversity: failing SFAS (Special Forces selection) after two years of dedicated training. 18:01 — A candid account of secretly battling alcoholism while performing as a squared-away platoon sergeant, living what he calls a double life. 34:57 — Adam explains the RTD system, showing how identity, consistency, and self-trust form the real foundation of discipline. Adam J. Johnson spent over 13 years in the U.S. Army as a combat medic and drill sergeant, training thousands of soldiers to meet standards they didn't believe they could reach. A former college football hopeful and personal trainer, Adam overcame a personal battle with alcohol addiction to become a keynote speaker and discipline coach. He is the author of Redefined: The Discipline and creator of the RTD (Redefined: The Discipline) system, a five code framework built on identity, consistency, and self-trust. Adam offers keynote speaking, coaching, and free resources including a discipline reset guide and diagnostic tool at adamjjohnson.com.

In this episode of the Decide Your Legacy Podcast, Adam shares a simple three step strategy for facing social anxiety instead of letting it control your decisions.It starts with your mindset. What are you focusing on when you walk into a situation? Everything that could go wrong, or the opportunities that could come from showing up? Next, create a plan.

Real change happens when you stop avoiding the situation and give yourself the opportunity to gather new evidence about what you're actually capable of.Adam shares his own experiences with anxiety, practical ways to prepare for social situations, the importance of curiosity, breathing, flexibility, and why even rejection can become an opportunity to build resilience.If social anxiety has been keeping you from relationships, opportunities, conversations, or experiences you know you should pursue, start with these three steps.Mindset. Plan. Engage.Pick one situation you've been avoiding and give the process a try. You decide your legacy. Nobody else.RSVP to the Upcoming Self Confidence Workshop HERE_____________________________TAKE THE NEXT STEP!Conversation starters are helpful, but the deeper issue is often courage.

What happens when you take a man, remove all of his comfort, cut him off from his family, push his body to the absolute limit, and tell him there's $1,000,000 waiting at the finish line?Drew Haas found out.After winning Season 2 of Netflix's Outlast, Drew sits down to talk about what the show was really like behind the cameras — the hunger, lack of sleep, homesickness, physical punishment, and the mental battle that came with being pushed to his breaking point.He also talks about how he prepared for the experience with thousands of bow shots, miles of barefoot training, and serious mental preparation — and why none of it could fully prepare him for what it would feel like to be completely disconnected from his family and forced to suffer for weeks.But this conversation goes way beyond Outlast.We talk about what hardship does to a man, what he learned about himself, the people he surrounded himself with, business, family, and what happens when you're forced to find out what you're actually made of.$1,000,000 was the prize.The real question is what it cost him to win it.Follow Drew @haasoutdoorsWebsite https://trybullbee.com/Interested in my private coaching & FREE workouts?

Mitch Ammons, two-time U.S. Olympic marathon trials qualifier and 2:14 marathoner, shares one of the most powerful redemption stories you'll hear. After nearly a decade of heroin and hard drug addiction, repeated rock bottoms, and multiple rehabs, he got sober in 2015 and rebuilt his entire life through running. In this conversation he opens up about the deep need for community that drove both his addiction and his recovery, the power of identity change, the parallels between “just one more” in addiction and ultrarunning, and how the fitness tribe became the healthy belonging he always craved.

Mental Toughness, Resilience & the Real Cost of Success | Patrick McEnroe & Richard “Big Daddy” Salgado | EP 180 | HINESIGHTS PodcastWhat does it really take to succeed at the highest levels and what happens when the trophies, headlines, connections, and accomplishments are stripped away?On this episode of the HINESIGHTS Podcast, Kevin Hines sits down with Patrick McEnroe and Richard “Big Daddy” Salgado, hosts of The Mac Daddy Show, for a powerful conversation about mental health, mental toughness, resilience, failure, leadership, discipline, relationships, purpose, and what success truly means.Patrick McEnroe is a Grand Slam champion, former professional tennis player, longtime ESPN broadcaster, former United States Davis Cup captain, and President of the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Drawing from decades inside elite professional tennis, Patrick shares why losing can become one of life's greatest teachers, how the world's best athletes develop mental toughness, and why even champions must actively train their minds.Patrick reflects on the lessons he learned growing up alongside his brother John McEnroe, competing on the professional tour, navigating failure, and eventually redefining success beyond wins, rankings, and trophies.Richard “Big Daddy” Salgado, CEO of Coastal Advisors, has spent decades building trusted relationships throughout professional sports, business, media, and entertainment. He opens up about the discipline and preparation behind lasting success and challenges the illusion that what we see on social media represents the work required to get there.Richard also shares the deeply personal story of surviving a life threatening brain aneurysm, how that experience transformed his perspective on life, and why giving back has become such an important part of his purpose.Together, Patrick, Richard, and Kevin explore what separates champions mentally, why failure is essential to growth, the importance of preparation and discipline, how relationships are built through trust, and why mental well being must matter just as much as physical performance.This conversation is about more than sports.It is about learning how to lose without losing yourself.It is about preparing when nobody is watching.It is about becoming comfortable with failure, eliminating distractions, surrounding yourself with the right people, and continuing to grow long after you have achieved what the world calls success.Most importantly, it asks a question Kevin asks every guest who enters the HINESIGHTS Podcast:How is your mental health today, really?If this conversation speaks to you, share this episode with someone you know, love, or care about.

In Week 6, the final episode of this special six-part Mental Toughness Academy series on The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings every lesson together and challenges you to do the one thing that separates champions from everyone else: take action.Over the last six weeks, you've discovered your Burn, strengthened your belief, learned to reframe adversity, built your Prize Fighter Day, established daily disciplines, and created a Legacy Statement. Now it's time to eliminate the limiting beliefs that hold you back, build an environment that supports your growth, and commit to living with intention every single day. Because mental toughness isn't measured by what you know—it's measured by what you choose to do.In this final session, Ben walks you through your Action Plan, challenges you to identify what's been preventing you from reaching your highest level, and explains why your environment, habits, and daily choices ultimately determine your legacy.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1806DM He started making videos at 11. Now he's 27, and over a hundred million people watch every single upload. Somewhere in between, the comments almost broke him. "Kill yourself." "This sucks." Comments like that used to wreck his whole day after 50 hours of work. Then something shifted. He started sorting every comment into two piles. Noise. And truth. One piece of criticism changed how he does his biggest charity videos. Someone said he never showed people how to actually help. So the next video, giving 2,000 people prosthetic legs, included exactly how viewers could donate their old ones. Recycled and given to someone else for a hundred bucks instead of five thousand. That's the difference between letting hate in and letting feedback work for you. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
