Doubt is eliminated through action, but it's the type of action that is important. Hey folks welcome back and Mark Vines

Unbeatable Mind podcast.

Thanks so much for joining me today. Super excited to talk to my guest

Tom Roth, but before I introduce him further, let me remind you my book,

staring down the wolf, which came out March 2nd, literally the week before we went on lockdown,

is very, very relevant for dealing

with what we're doing, dealing with these days

for this economic crisis and COVID-19.

Staring down the wolf refers to staring down your fears

and the emotional shadow and the biases

and the condition reactionary responses that we have as leaders that tend to make us the limiting factors in bringing out the best of our teams.

So I share my own experiences, my glorious-ups as well as some amazing exemplars from the special

ops world like my former SEAL Team 3 commanding officer Admiral William McCraven who went on to lead

all spec ops and tell some stories that have never been heard about him and his

exemplary leadership also Admiral Olson who was another former Socan commander,

and how he led with courage and Mogadishu

and with three other two SEALs

and two Delta Force guys essentially went to fight off, you know, the insurgent or all the bad guys who are trapped

the Rangers alone, but that inspired the quick reaction force to action.

Some great stories but also some really insightful lessons on how to really tap

your full potential and the full potential of your team and the team is the new leader

these days.
