This week, George and Matt chat with 10 year USMC Officer and 4-year SOFlete athlete, Kris Drake.

Kris serves as a USMC Cyberspace Officer, however, he has worked equally hard at finding and maintaining a sense of priority- based around safeguarding time with his family and still finding time to indulge his passions of health and fitness, learning, and being outdoors. Listen as the guys draw from the worlds of performance psychology, business management, and philosophy to try and make some sense of the chaos that is daily life.

Kris has also recently completed the Conscious Warrior System pilot study. Over the course of 8 weeks, George and Matt have been working to implement and test the system as a way to enhance Kris’ performance- both as a human and a professional.

Today’s episode gives great insight into exactly how the theories and principles surrounding human performance can be implemented at a real-world level.
