It takes 6 seconds to make a world of difference, but only 4 seconds for your brain to talk you out of it. Nelson Atagi shares the story of two Marines in Ramadi who stood their ground for 6 seconds while a truck bomb barreled toward them, saving 150 sleeping soldiers and sacrificing their own lives. Jason and Nelson break down what those 6 seconds mean for us, 6 seconds to call your spouse, dance with your kids, ask a coworker how they're doing, or stop an unsafe act. When you've already decided to do the right thing, those 6 seconds change everything.
What you'll learn in this episode:
The story of Jonathan Yale and Jordan Haerter, two Marines who gave 6 seconds and saved 150 lives in Ramadi, 2008
Why your brain will talk you out of doing the right thing in 4 seconds, unless you've already decided before the moment arrives
How servicemen and women train themselves to make the right decision instantly because they've decided ahead of time
The challenge: Use your 6 seconds to call someone, show you care, stop an unsafe act, or serve, don't let 4 seconds talk you out of it
Why buildings and projects mean nothing if we don't take care of the people we work with and love
Decide now who you're going to be. When the 6 seconds come, you won't have time to decide; you'll only have time to act.
