  • Ep. 226 - You WILL NOT LAST In Special Forces Without These 9 Traits

    Ep. 226 - You WILL NOT LAST In Special Forces Without These 9 Traits
    Sep 16 2026

    In this episode I discuss 9 Green Beret principles that apply far beyond Special Forces—from fitness and self-reliance to communication, confidence, leadership, resilience, and competition.

    Need guidance on building these traits? Check out my new E-book: Be The Exception: TTM's Personal Development Handbook

    9 GB principles:

    00:00:00 – Intro
    00:03:46 – #1 – Fitness Is the Foundation
    00:08:17 – #2 – Look the Part
    00:16:26 – #3 – Nobody Is Coming to Save You
    00:19:44 – #4 – Communication Skills Are Non-Negotiable
    00:28:00 – #5 – Tenacity Is Perishable
    00:32:57 – #6 – The Confidence Fairy Doesn’t Exist
    00:41:11 – #7 – Leadership Is on You
    00:44:16 – #8 – Thick Skin Is Not Optional
    00:48:10 – #9 – Everything Is a Competition
