Whether he knows it or not, every man lives by a code. But without intentionality about what that code is, it's easy to get lost in a world filled with chaos, clutter, and distraction. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to identify the code you want to live by and consistently measure up to it.
That's why I wanted to have a conversation with my guest today, Brady "Totanka" Cervantes. He is a former Marine Corps sniper and, more recently a professional bull rider. Today, we talk about his experience as a sniper, how it translates to civilian life, the struggles of transitioning in life, how to clear your head in chaos, and how to establish and live by a code.

BRADY "TOTANKA" CERVANTES
My guest today is Brady "Totanka" Cervantes.
He spent nearly 10 years in the Marine Corps and, as a Scout Sniper, had several deployments throughout the world, including two deployments to Iraq and two deployments to Afghanistan.
After his military service, he began training as a lead instructor for several tactical training companies, starred in a survival TV show called Kicking & Screaming, and, more recently, riding bulls professionally with the PBR.
I met Brady several months ago at Sorinex's SummerStrong event and as I got to know him over a couple of days, I was extremely impressed with his clarity, confidence, and level of humility. All of which we talk about in our conversation.
