Summary

Every one of us has experienced trauma of some sort in our lives. Some more challenging scenarios than others. But it does no good to compare our own circumstances with others, only what those who seem to be able to manage and work past the difficulties of life can teach us.

Combat Rescue Helicopter Pilot, Lt. Colonel Brian Slade joins me on today to talk about strategies he’s learned and developed for overcoming some of the worst scenarios he and others have overcome in their lives. We discuss the concept of “chair flying” as a method for anticipating and preparing for traumatic events, the difference between those who adapt to challenge and those who don’t, why we as men need to wrap our heads around “operating in the ugly,” overcoming festering emotional wounds, and how to triumph over trauma.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

“Just get over it” its not great advice
Stress inoculation and “chair flying”
Gratitude and perspective
Don’t mistake the gunfight (finite) for the mountains (infinite)
Perspective creates your reality
Always have an honorable mission
The only way out is through
