Summary

I’m pretty sure every one of us has experienced some level of high stress, especially these days! I am here with Jeff Banman, a former firefighter, U.S. Army Ranger, and CIA Counter-terrorism Operator. He’s made a career of studying successful people and discovering which variables allow them to survive or even thrive in stressful situations. Jeff has taken all he’s learned from years of conducting operations and missions all over the world and applied it to all aspects of modern-day parenting.

Jeff is a parent as well, so we also talk about how to foster this mindset of resilience and strength in your kids from an early age. I think you’ll enjoy this super creative and science-based way to look at adversity as much as I did.

Episode Highlights With Jeff Banman

What combat situations teach us about the brain
Jeff’s three Cs that allow kids (and adults) to thrive: comfort, confidence, and creativity
Why parenting may be the toughest and most important leadership role anyone can have
What it means to live in a conscious parenting zone
Tips and strategies for getting comfortable with discomfort
How heart rate variability lets us see stress
Ways to find (and create) calm even when there’s chaos
How to judge an acceptable and healthy level of risk for kids
Why Jeff made it his life’s mission to help people be more resilient
And more!

0:19.3	It has been my source of this for years, because we may not think about light.
0:23.0	When we think about essential nutrients that our body needs, but light absolutely is an
0:27.1	essential nutrient for the body.
0:29.0	And this is the reason that I go outside as soon as possible after waking up each morning,
0:34.3	because being in that type of morning light signals the body and the circadian rhythm
0:38.2	in really important ways.
0:40.0	And this is also the reason I spend time in front of a Juve Light.
0:43.8	See, light is energy, and our bodies need light in certain forms to sustain healthy cellular
