Hey, this is Leo, for actualized.org.

And in this episode, I'm going to be talking about strategic thinking.

How to be a strategic motherfucker. This is a very important, very foundational episode because what I'm going to tell you here is going to make or break the rest of your life.

Most people's lives suck due to lack of strategic thinking. And on the other hand successful people are highly strategic thinkers.

I listen to a course by the teaching company, which I highly recommend by the way,

it's like a 30-hour course on strategic theory. It talks about

military strategy, business strategy, sports strategy, and it was taught by

Stanley Ridgeley PhD.

He's a professor who's been studying military theory and so on

for years.

And he did this long and amazing course.

And as I was sitting there and listening to this course, this was a couple of years ago.

I was also thinking about self actualization and what I'm doing with actualized.org

and I was putting the pieces together and I just blew my mind how much strategic

thinking goes into self actualization and that everything that this professor was talking about from military theory and business theory,

which has been studied for now hundreds of years,

how all of these same principles apply to our personal lives as well and to self actualization especially.

You see in the fields of military and business and professional sports.

There's a long history of studying strategy

because in these fields, these fields are highly competitive and very demanding they demand

tangible concrete results those people that win military victories and win in business and win in sports,

these are like the best of the best.
