#30 Nicholas Seedsman - The toughest warrior on earth can collapse emotionally and rise again


Listen Later

I will start this one with a disclaimer.
Warning: This podcast includes content that may be disturbing to some listeners because of war violence stories.
Nicholas P D Seedsman is a human being like you will not meet in a long time.
He entered the Australian Navy at the age of 17 and the SAS (Special Forces) at the age of 21 https://lnkd.in/djXmxmq8. This is unique at such a young age.
During more than 3 hours, we re-visited Nicholas' life experience from his childhood to now - where he manages his investments, consults for Family Offices and resides Latin America where he operates his global foundation for war veterans.
Nicholas' choice to live a life of extreme fortitude and endurance led him to a complete collapse. This episode explores the renaissance following the nightmares of mental agony and physical powerlessness.
You will discover details about top soldiers in the world that you could never imagine. Their training, their exposure to risk, to death, to brotherhood and high principles. To injustice. To light and darkness.
Here are some nuggets of what we talked about:
šŸ„± At SAS you learn how to learn in extreme fatigue
āŒ Most of the people pushing themselves to the extreme of SAS have likely experienced significant vulnerability as a child in any shape or form.
šŸŒŖļø You can make yourself numb to escape the emotional storm in you. However it will fire back like a tsunami and force you to listen.
šŸ™ Start with your mental health. Then your physical health. Then your soul health.
šŸ˜– "You're never good enough" can take you very far in life. BUT if you don't love yourself eventually, your body will stop operating and you'll die of it.
It is one of the most intense conversations I've had. With an exceptional human being.
Nicholas is a true warrior. A man rich of unique and extreme experiences, from the deepest darkness of the human soul, to the most joyful moments a human being can feel.
I was moved and touched by Nicholas. I hope you feel the same.
Thank you Alan Howard for connecting me to Nicholas.
I have special thoughts for the great David J. Albritton, ACC and all the war veterans.

ENJOY TO THE MAX šŸ¤©šŸ¤©šŸ¤©!!!
