It can be hard for some of us, especially when self-criticism and imposter syndrome try their best to hold us back.

In this episode, I discuss my notes on ideas and concepts I found interesting from the #1 New York Times bestseller book, You Are A Badass, an analysis of exactly what's holding you back, and powerful strategies geared toward breaking bad habits so that you can truly live out your dreams.

Hasard Lee is a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot who began his career flying the F-16 Viper. As a flight commander, he led his pilots into combat during one of the most intense periods during the War in Afghanistan. There, he flew over 80 combat missions and became the only fighter pilot to ever fly two different types of jets into combat on the same day while supporting troops under fire. Hasard was then hand-picked to fly the F-35 – the most advanced and expensive weapon system in history. In this episode, we discuss the cognitive load of decision-making while flying at high speeds, the formula of expected value, and techniques that U.S. Air Force fighter pilots leverage to stay calm in high-stress situations.

Benjamin Franklin was famously quoted as stating, “Most people die at 25 and aren't buried until they're 75”. Benjamin Franklin wasn’t referring to physical death, but the death of one's hopes, aspirations, and dreams. Benjamin Franklin died on April 17, 1790; however, his words still hold true 233 years later. In this episode, I discuss why this quote still holds true and how you can avoid this fate.
