Summary

What if we could tap into the mindset of an elite operator and become a hero in everyday life? Today we're going to learn from the very best.

John "Tig" Tiegen is one of the heroes who was behind The Battle of Benghazi when militants attacked a diplomatic compound on September 11th, 2012, an incident that was portrayed in the 2016 Michael Bay film called 13 Hours.

Tig talks about what it was really like in Benghazi and how he's adjusted to civilian life since. He tells us how to navigate obstacles while staying true to our authentic selves. He also shares his thoughts on being a husband to a military woman and the father of seven-year-old twins.
