Clint Bruce: On Becoming Tribal - Navy SEALs to Entrepreneurship

Dr. Michael Gervais (0:09)

All right, welcome back, or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I'm Michael Gervais, and the idea behind this podcast is to have conversations with people who are on the path of mastery. And in this conversation, I was fortunate enough to sit down with Clint Bruce, and he's a phenomenal human being, and I'm excited to share what he's come to understand. And the goal of these conversations is to identify their psychological frameworks, folks that are on the podcast. And that's basically how they see themselves and how they understand how the world works, and to also identify the path that's led them to have robust and sturdy practices that allows them to continue to explore their own potential.

And the essence is that all of us will walk away with a bit more of a deeper understanding of how we can train our mind and our craft in a similar fashion to some of the world's exceptional performers.

I want to take a minute here to announce a really exciting event that we have coming up. As you continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities of 2024, I want to pose a question. What are you doing right now to be great with stress? How are you working with stress on your pursuit towards your most important ambitions and goals? And I just want to get right to the heart of the key elements, one in particular, for what it takes to excel in today's high heat, high stakes world. Because stress is not the problem that we think it is. Stress is a synonym for change. And our ability to be agile with change, that is the real opportunity at hand. So if you're wanting to unlock extraordinary results and sustainable performance in your life, it's not about avoiding or reducing stress. And as simple as that sounds, it's very tricky to do. But it is about fundamentally changing your relationship with it.

So, Clint, I want to get right to it and allow him to do the majority of the talking here. But in essence, he's got this combination of all the things that are meaningful to me. He's an elite athlete and that's only important because it's a demonstration, an objective demonstration of understanding the gap and the nuances and the artistry and the commitment to be able to explore potential in a certain arena. He's also a Navy SEAL and he was at one time a commander of SEALS Team 5 He's also deeply dedicated to giving and he's built a community and a series of businesses that he allows former vets as well as former athletes to share inspiration, to share strategies to enhance leadership for corporations.
