Welcome to The Navy SEAL Mindset podcast. In this episode, I reflect on my recent experience hiking the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim for the second time this year with the organization Man Made. I share the lessons I learned and insights from the challenging yet rewarding trek.

Key Takeaways:

• Experience is invaluable - doing something once allows you to be better prepared and perform better the next time. You can't buy experience, only earn it through perseverance.
• Overprepare whenever possible - it's always going to be harder than you think. Exceed the minimum standards.
• Fuel your body properly for the task at hand - the type and amount of food needed is unique for an ultra endurance event like this hike.
• Help others, even if they resist - we called for help for struggling hikers who refused our aid, likely saving their lives.
• Hardship brings growth - seek out challenges that will expand your limits. The hardest things teach the most.
