CREDIBILITY‼️
It’s built through experience.
It’s built through mistakes.
It’s built through pain.
Criticism always comes from people with far less credibility.
▫️Stay focused
▫️Stay hungry
▫️Keep going
BE.THE.STANDARD‼️
Ever wondered what happens to a pilot after their plane is nearly shot down over a war zone?
They continue mission.
Kim "KC" Campbell, MBA, MA is a different breed.
After nearly being shot down over Iraq, she was out on a rescue mission the very next day.
You can’t teach that level of resilience, grit, and determination.
At a certain point, that has to come from within.
Her story is incredible and we were extremely fortunate to be able to sit down with her on the Harder Not Smarter Podcast this week.

Medicine 3.0 is here.
Jesse Greer, MD and his team at Preamble are leading the way.
Shifting the model from sick care to prevention will be a slow and painful process.
But we have to start somewhere.
And without pioneer’s like Jesse pushing against the status quo, our healthcare system is doomed.
Kevin Seiff and I had a great time chopping it up with Jesse.
Here’s a brief glimpse into a very spirited discussion.

The mind of a champion is not created overnight.
How could it be?
It’s the product of years—years of sweat, pain, self-discovery, and relentless mental conditioning.
Greg VanDyne reminded us of this during his appearance on Mindset Lessons from the Field. He emphasized that a champion mindset isn't just about talent or physical prowess; it's about understanding your body and mastering your mind.
You don't just run 6 miles and crush it right out of the gate. You’ll get tired. You’ll want to quit. Your body will beg you to stop. Your mind will push you toward giving up.
But the champion mindset? It’s been here before. It knows how to silence that voice of doubt. It knows how to push forward even when every fiber of your being wants to rest.
This mindset isn't born; it's built. Day by day. Mile by mile. Challenge by challenge.
Are you ready to build yours?
My Podcast Mindset Lessons from the Field helps our listeners to strengthen their mental fortitude & grit so they can conquer any challenge as it presents itself through our special forces guests.

Crazy concept.
Treat every new relationship as an opportunity to add value.
Not the other way around.
Be a fountain—not a drain.
Huge shout out to Jon Cobb for dropping some absolute wisdom on the Harder Not Smarter Podcast this week.

Entrepreneurship is NOT for everyone.
Chances are it's not the right fit for you.
But for the exceptions to society, it's the only way to scratch that itch that nags at you.
That voice in your head demanding greater meaning and purpose in your life.
Teddy Mitrosilis hit the nail on the head as a guest on the Harder Not Smarter Podcast. He's put himself through the entrepreneurship ringer and he keeps coming back asking for more.
Buying a business
Starting a business
Running a business
They all take a special type of person. If you think you're that person, we have a community for you.
Acquisitions
Franchises
Start-ups
We have a solution for you at the Vet Collective to scratch that entrepreneurial itch.

Join a startup they said.
It’ll be fun they said.
Sound familiar? Me too.
Teddy Mitrosilis seems to always hit the mark—and this take is no different.
Startups absolutely get romanticized.
But behind the curtains, it’s a lot of unglamorous work.
Some people thrive in this environment.
That’s great.
Others don’t and that’s equally as great.
Different strokes for different folks.
Be true to you.
My favorite modern day Stoic not named Ryan Holiday?
Easy, Amish Smith.
And this 20 second video is exactly why.
You don’t have to react to everything.
Doing nothing is an option.
And it’s often a very powerful one.

🚨 New Podcast Episode Alert! 🚨
🎙️ My latest podcast episode featuring Greg VanDyne, Green Beret turned entrepreneur. Greg's journey from the battlefield to the world of entrepreneurship is a testament to resilience, determination, and the power of mindset. 💪
In this episode, Greg shares:
Unlocking Potential: "I think that's where you unlock another level in human performance, by pushing those limits."
Tough Mindset: "If you want to understand what it's like to have a really tough mindset, the only way to do that is to put yourself into harm's way and do things that make you feel very uncomfortable."
Entrepreneurial Insights: "Being able to separate the progress that you're making qualitatively with the quantitative aspect of entrepreneurship is super important because it's not built overnight. It takes a really long time."
🔍 Join me as we learn the mindset and resilience that drives Greg to succeed in life & in business & how you can as well!
This episode is packed with valuable insights on overcoming obstacles, pushing your limits, and finding success in entrepreneurship.
