Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled journey with our guest Dennis Clancey, an Army veteran who has embraced life on the edge, running with bulls in Pamplona and traversing over 100 countries. We kick off the conversation exploring Dennis's military lineage that guided him into the army, and then plunge into the heart-pounding tales of his experiences participating in the notorious Running of the Bulls in Spain. From the electric atmosphere in Pamplona to the intricate strategies and dangers of the race, this episode has it all.

Then, we peel back the layers of what it takes to be recognized as a runner in the Spanish bull culture, and how this experience has bled into Dennis's everyday life. We scrutinize the strategy of running on the horns, the role of pastores in guiding the herd, and the importance of timing your run perfectly. Dennis offers candid insights into the dangers of La Curva, the vibrant culture of Pamplona, and the intense preparation that goes into the annual Running of the Bulls event.

Lastly, we transition from the thrill of the run to the rewarding work Dennis does with Team Rubicon, a veteran-led humanitarian organization. With a commitment to provide relief to those affected by disasters, we delve into their unique approach to volunteerism, their online training program, and the immense power of giving back. Dennis also shares his views on living life with momentum, the importance of having the right mindset, and how his bull running experiences have influenced his role at Team Rubicon. This episode is a masterclass in embracing life’s challenges, taking risks and making them count. Join us for this pulse-racing conversation with Dennis Clancey.

What if you could transform your daily habits and long-term goals by simply focusing on your priorities? That's the compelling question Jose Garner grappled with during his inspiring 30-day challenge. We had the honor of delving into a profound conversation with Jose, hearing about his journey in setting goals, making them his priority, and beating the odds to stay committed. He brilliantly unpacks the concept of time management and the crucial role of prioritizing. We discuss how often trivial tasks sneak up on us, gradually filling our days, and contributing little to our life's trajectory.

Highlighting the crucial role of small, manageable daily goals, Jose's experience serves as an enlightening case study. Whether your priority is fitness or family time, it’s the seemingly tiny steps that lead to significant transformation. We challenge you to identify your priorities and align your daily tasks to those. We explore the idea of gradual progress and the beauty of the 'sudden' transformation. Tune in to this episode to learn from Jose's experience and discover ways to kick-start your journey towards your 'suddenly'. Let’s start embracing gradual progress and commit to those small goals that will eventually lead us towards our desired 'suddenly'.

I had a fascinating conversation with Jose Garner, who embarked on a 30-day challenge to fundamentally reshape his approach to discipline, health, and lifestyle habits. Strap in as we delve into Jose's journey - his struggles, his victories, and everything in between. We discuss the importance of balance - knowing when to push and when to rest, and the unexpected virtue of embracing mediocrity. 

Examine with us the details of Jose's 30-day challenge. It’s not as daunting as it sounds - 100 pushups daily, a simple core workout, and a devotional reading from the Bible using an app. What's fascinating is how Jose managed to fit these tasks into his daily life and the profound effect they had on his outlook and physical wellbeing. Discover how a vow to 100 pushups a day is less intimidating and more sustainable than an audacious promise of 3000 pushups in 30 days.

In the final lap of our discourse, we hone in on the power of a healthy community and the art of setting realistic goals. Jose shares his insights on intentional goal setting, time management, and the profound influence of a supportive community in our personal growth. From managing back pain to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, Jose has a treasure trove of wisdom to share. Don't miss out on this insightful discussion on personal development, self-discipline, and the power of small, achievable goals.

We often think our last deployment was our last trip over seas.  However in this episode I'll challenge you to consider that your last deployment is when you transition out of the military.  Its got all of the same properties except the support and team work we are used to while in.
