Tim Kennedy: Greatest Lessons on Overcoming Fear & Building a Warrior Mindset


Listen Later

Tim is an active duty Master Sergeant and Green Beret within the US Army, a former UFC fighter, founder of Sheepdog Response, and author of Scars & Stripes.


In this conversation, Tim and I discuss:

  • Tim's childhood stories of his father, an Undercover Narcotics Agent
  • How this affected his mentality, and decisions he has made in life
  • The poor choices he has made and what he has learned
  • How Tim got into the UFC and what it was like to fight for the belt
  • Is today's generation soft? And why Tim always encourages people to seek out discomfort and struggle
  • The importance of tiny decisions, and why Tim believes in the micro, more than the macro
  • His unique relationship with fear and how he overcomes it
  • Tim's advice for anyone dealing with difficulties in their life, including mental health
  • & much more
