"Stop asking why. Accept that it happened, know it did, and push forward in life." - Travis Mills 6ers, this episode is all about acceptance of life in the present – the good, the bad, the ugly – and the will to move forward no matter what.

You are going to learn the right mindset to conquer life's biggest challenges and accept its wild surprises. In the end, this episode will empower you to treat setbacks as an impetus for success and will make you realize the future is what you make it to be. “I don't dwell on what happened. Just reminisce what you had and keep pushing forward… I'm very independent in a world where prosthetics are possible.” ----- 00:40 – Introduction 01:25 – On why he is not giving up amid all of life's difficulties: He had two choices – “Get better or don't and I decided to get better.” 02:34 – The lessons he learned from the military – handwork, dedication, motivation, not quitting, leadership. “I use that in my businesses to make sure that everybody that works with me, they know I'll go just as hard as them.” 04:45 – There are two kinds of leaders that had an impact on him: His Staff Sgt back then, Keith Hambright, whom Travis says he respected so much. The other kind of leader was a “terrible” one. 06:15– Travis confronted this bad leader when he got promoted to the same position. “I don't regret it, he taught me what not to do. You can learn just as much from terrible leadership as you can from great leadership.” 10:46 – On managing his business and foundation, he says he still steps up to the plate and constantly balances being a goal-driven yet compassionate leader. 11:41 – A big no no for him at work? Saying “no we can't do it, we can't figure it out.” 12:22 – His kids are everything to him. His biggest driving factor to keep going after the accident was his daughter. 13:11 – “I don't dwell on what happened, just reminisce what you had and keep pushing forward… I'm very independent in a world where prosthetics are possible.” 14:33 – He shared his military plans and college plans before the life-changing event happened. “Life doesn't work out the way you plan it and I think that's the craziest thing. So you always gotta react to contact.” 15:23– On failures: Having sleepless nights where he thought the foundation is gonna fail and failing his watching father after Travis was unable to walk 5 laps post-operation  15:43– “Every day is not like maybe a step in the right direction, but at least it's a step forward.” 16:26 – He shares his biggest fear: That his kids will feel they missed out on anything because of their father's condition. 17:20 – He opens up about feeling lost after getting out of Walter Reed. “Who am I now? I'm not that guy on the picture. I had to rebuild my whole life. I had to rebuild and reestablish who I was as a person.” 18:26 – Stop asking why. Accept things or events as they are without needing to know the reasons behind it. “Accept that it happened, know it did, push forward in life.” 21:45 – How is he better than yesterday?

Army Sergeant Travis Mills had two options when returning from Afghanistan limbless after sustaining critical injuries from an IED. He could have slipped into depression and suicide or faced his challenges head-on and use his tragic circumstance to help others. This go-getter not only created a foundation helping injured veterans around the country but launched a veterans retreat and produced a documentary called Travis: A Soldier’s Story which exudes the definition of patriotism.

Today we have the awesome privilege to hear from Travis Mills, a US Army Staff Sergeant, who in 2012 suffered a catastrophic injury that left him as a quadruple amputee. That’s right, he has no arms or legs and is one of only five servicemen from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ever to survive quadruple amputee injuries. I reached out to him when I started this podcast back in October because I had seen him speak and was incredibly inspired by his positivity, hopefulness, and most importantly, his sense of humor. We finally have him on the show- and it is so timely and poignant- as we are all going through the COVID-19 challenge and so much of the scary and unknown. Travis is someone who faced challenges that were scary and unknown, and his perspective on how he handled these challenges will be so valuable to us as we go through this pandemic. After his injury and retiring from the Army, Travis has become a speaker, a NY Times best-selling author of Tough As They Come, and founder of the Travis Mills Foundation, a nonprofit organization that benefits and assists wounded and injured veterans. His story inspires, encourages, challenges, and motivates audiences to move forward. He illustrates how resilient the human spirit is, how unbreakable the will is when pressed with difficult demands, and how triumphant a person can be when tasked with the seemingly impossible. His story has been featured on local and national news including Fox News’ Happening Now with Jenna Lee, The O’Reilly Factor with Bill O’Reilly, CNN with Barbara Starr, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “And I guess just finding out like, okay, well my military days are done. I’m not, you know, the guy they call on to go on on missions and get the bad guys anymore but I still have a positive life I can live.” “The clear choice for me was just like, I’ve got my wife and my kids, let’s push forward, find a new purpose, new normal, and get moving.” “No matter what situation you find yourself in, whether you’re COVID-19 sitting at home, scared of everything or maybe you’ve had a problem at work today, just understand you’re in charge of your attitude and it’s all about looking at the positives, pushing forward in life, and getting after it every day.” In this episode, you will hear: - Travis recounts how he was injured and how he got his growth mindset and motto “Never Give Up, Never Quit” - His biggest blessings from his injury and the powerful life lessons he has learned - The advice he gives for all of us going through this challenging time  Thank you so much for listening!

This is tremendous book and story about Travis Mills, who was severely wounded in Afghanistan. In this AMXbooks series, we're going to talk about courage, selflessness, purpose, personality, keeping going, humility and so much more. I met Travis briefly last summer and recently had the opportunity to interview him for the show (will publish after we finish talking about the book). This is a special one.

It's an honor to welcome Travis Mills to our podcast today. Both Tricia and I have had the opportunity to know Travis and to hear him speak, and like everyone who has met Travis, we are better for it. Travis woke up on his 25th birthday as a triple amputee. After 19 months at Walter Reed, he vowed to never give up. Today he is an inspiration to the world. In this podcast, Travis teaches us how to move away from victimhood and be responsible for our attitudes about life and also what it means to be a good leader. He teaches us, “I'm not a victim and neither are you.” The film, Travis: A Soldier's Story and his New York Times best seller Tough As They Come, bring this powerful vision to life. Travis has become the quintessential empowered role model, teaching us now to stand up from the sidelines and step in to our life's purpose. He is writing a new book on leadership, hosting 126 families a year at his foundation and is contemplating a reality show. He tells us about his secrets on how to be a leader, shares his daily routines, and h life with children. He also shares his story of how his fear of a lifelong dose of pain medicines guided him toward an experimental five day ketamine coma which helped reset his brain and body limb map and allows him to be medication free and pain free today. Travis reminds us how to heal on this podcast, “In any situation, I'm in control of how I feel. I'm in control of my attitude and it's up to me how I want to go about getting better”.
