Ask any Royal Marines recruit what the worst part of training is… and you’ll probably get the same answer.
It’s brutal. It requires insane willpower. And it breaks a lot of men.
But those who push through? They become better Marines—and better men.
In this episode of The Freedom Project Podcast, I break down:
- The hardest test in Royal Marines training (and why it makes everything else easier).
- How your brain literally rewires itself when you do difficult things.
- Why avoiding discomfort makes life harder—and how to reverse that.
If you’re ready to build unshakable mental toughness, this episode is for you.
