In today’s episode, I break down 12 major training mistakes I made as a green beret that I’d go back and change if I knew better. I made these mistakes so, assuming you listen, you don’t have to.
I had a great time shooting this one. It’s chock full of nuggets and applies to SO MANY people’s training tendencies—future, current and even former SOF (as well as just general hard chargers).
I planned on making it a shorter episode, but I get really passionate and it went longer. All important stuff, though!
