    John A. Dailey – Tough Lessons, Rugged Mindset | Mindset #84

    What happens when a 17-year-old small-town kid decides he’s going to be a Marine—and doesn’t stop until he makes it into one of the most elite units in history? In this episode, I sit down with John A. Dailey, Marine Force Recon veteran and author of Tough Rugged B******s. We talk about: * Failing his first recon attempt because he couldn’t swim—and why he refused to quit. * The secret weapon of humor, curiosity, and perspective in surviving boot camp and combat. * “Digging your corner” and how this principle keeps you focused in a distracted world. * Building trust fast when lives are on the line—and how civilians can apply the same lessons. * Why doing one thing you don’t want to do every day might be the simplest path to real mental toughness. John’s story isn’t just about war—it’s about resilience, leadership, and finding new ways to challenge yourself long after the uniform comes off. If you’ve ever wondered how to push past your limits, this episode is your blueprint. New Episodes every Wednesday!
