Pain and suffering are inevitable in life, both personally and professionally. The key is to learn how to evolve and adapt during times of adversity and turn obstacles into learning opportunities for growth. 

Hell Week, a grueling training week for Navy SEALs, is a prime example of this mindset. It tests the students' physical and mental limits, but those who are successful possess attributes such as grit, resilience, emotional intelligence, and a growth mindset. The training prepares them for the challenges they will face in real-world combat situations. 

In this conversation, James Robbins talks with former Navy Seal, Brent Gleeson who discusses the importance of regular audits and continuous improvement in personal and professional life. He emphasizes the value of camaraderie and the bond shared with fellow SEALs, and explores how leaders can create a similar sense of camaraderie in the corporate world.
