Hello friends, welcome back to the show.

My guest today is Tim Kennedy.

He's a Green Beret, Special Forces sniper, Army Ranger and a professional MMA fighter.

Tim has spent most of his life fighting, whether that's been against kids in kindergarten,

Special Forces selection officers, UFC champions, enemy combatants, ISIS or his own compulsion

to make a mess of his life.

He's seen his fair share of pain and discovered a lot of insights through it.

Expect to learn whether Tim has ever used Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a combat situation.

What motivates him to put through the discomfort he's endured?

Why he refused painkillers throughout his entire MMA career?

Why he swam a mile out to sea after getting two women pregnant and thinking he had aides?

And much more.

Tim does seem to me like the sort of person that is moving at a million miles an hour.

The kind of person that I think is a very, very good example that can kind of be sent out

as a scout to work out what it's like to live a very specific type of life and then come

back and tell the rest of us.

Although you might not want to live the life that he's lived, I think it's difficult to

deny that there are interesting lessons that you can take from someone that's been to

the extremes of pretty much everything that there is to do.

I do appreciate him.

I've spent a good bit of time with him since I've been out here in Austin and every time

that I'm with him, I learned something new.
