[00:01 - 09:36] Dr. Patrick's BIG Three

• #1: How to Overcome and Protect Yourself From Falling Into the Label Trap
• Apply the GRIT method
• Growth - In order to have growth, you cannot fear failure. Embrace it.
• Resilience - Resilience = response over reaction. As soon as you start going down the label trap, STOP! Then think about what you're about to do. Adopt the "I may be broken, but you're not going to break me.
• Integrity of Self - Stay humble. If you try to go about it with your ego and without humility, you will be humiliated.
• Time - Question to ponder: What have you done BEFORE the label was created?
• #2: How Navy Seals handle pressure
• Ask yourself if the pressure is a matter of life or death.
• Don't ever rise to the level of the occasion. Instead, fall back to the level of your training.
• Put yourself in that pressure scenario for practice or visualize yourself going through it.
• #3: The Approach to Leadership That More Leaders Need to Lock Into
• Servant Leadership - never ask anybody to do anything you either haven't done yourself or aren't willing to do yourself.

J.R. goes behind the scenes with former Navy SEAL, mental toughness consultant, and founder of the GRIT Academy, Dr. Patrick Bisher. At the age of nine, Patrick was told he would never walk again by doctors because of a rare hip disease that resulted in the deterioration of his left hip. He was in leg braces and crutches for over a year, but then qualified for an experimental surgery that put him in a body cast for two months. After a second surgery and another six months on crutches, he finally took his first step thus proving "impossible" is just a state of mind. Patrick continued to defy the odds with what he calls The 1% Mentality. He drove his mind and body to the limit and eventually became an elite frogman. His best selling book: No Surrender: Faith, Family, and Finding Your Way shares his testimony and story and was highlighted by News Show Fox and Friends.

Patrick served in combat in the Middle East and was a member of SEAL Teams 3 and 7. After his active duty, he became a Navy SEAL Mentor running the Navy Seal Warfare (NSW) Selection Program. For 6 years, he mentored 1,000s of men and women through his G.R.I.T. Method and was rated the Nation's #1 Navy SEAL Mentor. During this time, he received his Doctorate of Ministry in Christian Leadership from Kingdom University International.

While teaching mental toughness, teamwork, and leadership to the NSW program, Patrick also consulted athletes, coaches, leaders, and CEO's in professional sports and business. Patrick's programs focus on moving organizations, teams, and leaders into the best position to succeed at their calling by transforming and creating the proper mentality, mindset, culture, and leadership training.

Dr. Bisher's new book, Warrior of God (available on Amazon), empowers Christian believers to wear the full armor of God to be light in the darkest places and teaches you how to implement Christ in you. He shows you how to have victory and spread this powerful message every step you take on enemy ground.

Do you try to sweep your negative emotions under the rug?...hoping they'll eventually disappear? We all do. It takes courage to look your fear and pain in the eye. Truth is, if you don't, you'll never be able to live your life to the fullest and consistently bring the best out of you, ESPECIALLY when it matters most.

Dr. Dharius Daniels comes on the show to help us confront our emotions, as well as teach us how to protect what and who's important to us…all so we can experience more of the success we deserve.

Dr. Dharius Daniels is one of the most prolific communicators of our day. He's on a mission to help as many people as possible become their best selves while doing their best work. A speaker, coach, and certified emotional intelligence specialist, Dharius specializes in helping others self-optimize without self-destructing. He acquired his passion to add value to the lives of others at an early age growing up in a small town, Kilmichael, MS. Although the population was less than 700 residents, he was taught by his father that your enlightenment, not your environment, determines your outcomes. He was inspired to unleash his untapped potential while gaining his undergraduate degree from Millsaps College and post-graduate degrees from Princeton and Fuller.

With over 20 years of leadership experience, Dharius understands that right information can cause a comprehensive revolution. This passion for transformation inspired him to continue his writing career by releasing his most recent published book, Relational Intelligence: The People Skills You Need For The Life Of Purpose You Want. Dr. Dharius also emerged in the mentoring and coaching arena with the release of the Daniels Den Mentoring & Coaching Program which serves thousands of members.

In addition to his contributions in the field of speaking and coaching, Dharius continues to serve as Lead Pastor of the multi-site, and multi-regional, Change Church. He has also served as an adjunct professor at Princeton. He enjoys downtime with activities such as playing a round of golf or weight training.
