GM John Schneider schooled by Navy SEALS

Schneider was in San Diego learning the tactics, operations and leadership experiences of SEAL Team Three, Task Unit Bruiser.

The muster’s objective for participants is simple: "Teaching them the fundamentals of combat leadership they can then apply to their business and their life so they can lead – and win."

As Babin told me Thursday from New York: "These things are simple. But they are not easy."

His assessment of Schneider?

"He’s brilliant," Babin said. "Very intelligent."

I loved this article. I love Schnider. This dude puts in an endless amount of work trying to better himself and his understanding of people in order to make this team better. I hope this is a Ted Thompson situation, where John is going to be our guy for decades to come. I'm just scared that when Pete retires, John may want to go somewhere else.

This article reminded me I need to give a shout-out, a thank you, to the men and women of the Armed Forces. I don't do it nearly enough.

Edit: also RIP to my bro Randall, USMC. Unfortunately holding his memorial service today. Poor guy, just couldn't handle the emotional and physical pain of losing his legs and an arm. Love this guy. Can't imagine what he went through.

There's a few of those guys out there that are super motivational. Jocko Willink for example. If you don't know who he is, do yourself a favor and look him up, listen to some of his interviews. I live with a lot of pain so I struggle with motivation, and every day wake up I look at his tweets for motivation about what I need to get done. It may sound silly, but it really helps.

The reason why I threw the rip in there was with the hopes that his brothers and sisters of the Armed Forces might send a prayer his way today. Well, not just them, everyone, but it would be extra meaningful for them to. They share a bond the rest of us don't even begin to understand, even if they have never met and are separated by generational gaps. Thank you.
