The guests discuss the fine line between assertion, which drives focused action and determination, and aggression, which can lead to impulsive decisions and conflict. Drawing from their diverse experiences in tactical, professional, and personal arenas, they share how to harness aggression as a tool for growth and performance.

The discussion also explores the importance of emotional regulation, situational awareness, and the ability to channel aggression in a controlled and purposeful manner.
