In this episode of Mindset Lessons from the Field, I sit down with former U.S. Army Green Beret Justin Litko — a Special Forces medic turned executive leader — to break down what truly separates elite performers from everyone else.

Justin shares his journey from Ranger Battalion to Special Forces, his transition into corporate leadership, and the mindset shifts required to thrive outside the military. We dive into:

• Civilian mentality vs team mentality• Why discipline beats motivation every time• How to build real accountability• Leadership mistakes that destroy teams• Taking smart risks when everything feels uncertain• Why loyalty and credibility still win in business• Daily mindset habits that create long-term success

Justin also opens up about his toughest moments, how he avoided quitting, and what young leaders must develop to stand out in today’s world.
