Nate Boyer: Going For It (Part 1)

Michael Gervais (0:09)

All right, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I'm Michael Gervais. And the idea behind these podcasts is to have conversations with people who are on the path of mastery.

And certainly, as we've come to learn, there's so many paths, and some are conventional and some are unconventional. And most of the ones we've had conversations with are really unconventional.

And this conversation is no different. And throughout this conversation, what we'll come to learn is that, there's some people that go for it and some people that play it safe.

And I'm waiting to understand how a conservative approach is the path towards mastery. And I know it's there. I just haven't been able to learn about it and from it yet.

In this conversation, we're gonna reinforce the importance of having an idea, being inspired, being consumed with it, and then being able to figure out the skills necessary to be able to execute against the vision. And part of that skill prerequisite is to be able to let it rip, to take a shot, to go for it, to embrace what is not known and trust one's own ability to be able to adjust to the unknown.

I wanna 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 wanna 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 wanna 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.

And that's why I'm so thrilled to invite you to a special event, it's a free virtual event that we're offering and it's called The Power of Embracing Stress.

And in this conversation with Nate Boyer, he talks about how he didn't have a clear vision and a clear plan, but he had an idea and he was inspired to go help. And that process of wanting to help others that were maybe less fortunate and had a struggle and what I'm talking about is Sudan and his work there that eventually led him to want to serve the US military and he became a Green Beret. And where he and I first met, which was when he was training to become a long snapper at the Seattle Seahawks, his story is just phenomenal. And the way that he conducted himself was noticeable and I'm absolutely thrilled to know him. I'm excited to be able to have this conversation with him. And if you have questions, hit him up on social, hit us up on social as well at Michael Gervais. And then you can also go to findingmastery.net for other podcasts as well. And just as a side note is I think we're many episodes in, I don't know the exact number. And at some point, right about now, there'll be likely a sponsorship that will drop in place. So just know that's coming at some point. Right now, this is completely funded and solely a passion project and it is funded by me. And so at some point, the information is so good and so wonderful and the scale that's taking place so quickly is unbelievable. So hopefully there'll be a little business model in here somewhere and which will allow us to keep going. So thank you everyone for helping us reach, I think it was top 23 that we cracked in iTunes under whatever particular section. I think it's the, I don't know the exact section. I think it's health and wellbeing. So wonderful, thank you, thank you, thank you. Keep the questions coming, I love them and look forward to hearing from you soon. Okay, all the best with the greatest hope that this conversation is as intriguing as it was for me. Here's Nate Boyer.
