The wisdom we resist is often the wisdom we need most. Most of us avoid the uncomfortable truth — that our greatest growth lives on the far side of what we’d rather not face. But what if the very adversity we’re running from is actually the gateway to the freedom we’re seeking? In this episode, I’ve had a profound conversation with Tim Kennedy about his journey in the US Special Forces and the concept of building unshakeable foundations. Your foundation isn’t built in the big moments — it’s built in the quiet, daily choices that no one else sees.
