Stress is a choice.

Yes, it is.

And that's another one where you can slow down and realize if you take a step back and take a deep breath and realize that it's in your mind. Stress is in your mind. Stress is a bag of bricks. And again, I give myself my own advice. Don't always take it every single day. But it's a bag of bricks. You pick up. And if you want to start your day off with a negative attitude, you can.

Welcome to Mick Unplugged, the number one podcast for self-improvement, leadership, and relentless

growth. No fluff, no filters, just hard-hitting truths, unstoppable strategies, and the mindset

shifts that separate the best from the

rest. Ready to break limits? Let's go. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to probably the most special

episode of Mick Unplug that we have had to date. We're talking with the Navy

Seal who took out Osama bin Laden. He's a decorated combat veteran with over 400 missions

under his belt and the author pulling back the curtain on the life of an elite operator. We're

going to go from battlefield to bestsellers and from sacrifice to service.

He's relentless. He's courageous. He's legendary, but most important, he's my freaking hero. We're talking about the one and only, Mr. Robert J. O'Neill. Robert, how are you doing today, brother? Well, Mick, thanks for having me. I appreciate it. It's good to get a chance to sit down with you. Man, I told you offline, I'm the honored one, man. Just what you mean, not just to me, but I would say for all of the Americans here, man. Like, there's not enough thank you's. There's not enough we love you's that we could give you. So I just wanted to give you mine from me personally, bro. That does mean a lot. Thanks. And it was just an honor the whole time. Just, you know, there was a lot of stuff that we did other than bin Laden, right, but to be picked for that team was just such a great honor. There's just a great group of guys and asked to do a really hard job that, you know, started off horribly, but we pulled it off because we knew how to work with

each other.

That it is, man.

And, you know, I just, I finished the documentary.

Obviously, your segment, the third segment, I probably watched 10 times.

I have so many notes on that segment that I want to get to you about.

But the first question, man, like, I like to go deeper than people's why,

right? Like, I call it your because. Like, that thing that really is your motivator, that thing

that really is what drives you. If I were to ask you today, right, what's your because, brother?

Oh, well, I mean, right now it's to just try to provide a better life.

Not that I didn't have a good life growing up, but I'm a girl dad.
