"There are things that scare us that we still want to do, and those are the tests in life. Those are the things we need to seek out and do. Because if you're excited to do something that scares you, that's a test. And I think in order to be successful at it, most things that are scary and hard usually take a while to get."-- John Allen
Welcome back to the Life Well Dunn Podcast.
On this episode, I am joined by retired Navy SEAL, John Allen.
Not only has John served and protected the USA as one of the most elite, he has also founded his company, Elite Meet, which helps connect Special Operations Forces and fighter pilots with top professionals.
The transition from military life, let alone being a SEAL, to civilian life is incredibly difficult, as John describes. We talked about the similarities between professional athlete's and our military and the difficulties that show up at the end of their careers. In a sense, there is a loss of identity that must be dealt with and understood.
John takes us through what it means to be a Navy SEAL, how he came to wanting to become a SEAL, the mindset, challenges, and the growth that took place throughout the long journey, and how we can apply this to any fears and dreams that we might have, no matter what it might be.
John is one of the most motivating humans I have ever had the opportunity to speak with. His message doesn't apply strictly to the military life. It is applicable to any challenge or fear you are faced with.
