77. Earn it! The mindset of success with Stacy Shea and Thom Shea Jul 16, 2018

Show notes

Earn your life. Master the basics and don't take shortcuts. Every step matters, even the ones that go backward. Start over and be willing to try again. You have a gift and the only way to realize your gift is by earning it.

76. No Shortcut. Mastering the Grind with Thom Shea Jul 07, 2018

Show notes

My commitment to you in the podcast is to speak to you about a truth that seems to be utterly lost today both in business and in youth. That truth is there are no shortcuts toward success.

Lesson Nine

Why this topic? For the last five years I have watched and taught many hundreds of people and leaders to produce results by getting through the chaos of their lives and jobs or sports by following and process. The process works every single time. But everyone seems to want a hack or a short cut.

I get it. I really do. I get the urgency to want immediate results. I get it because much of our societal media discourse and technology lends itself to immediate gratification across all spectrums even in dating for god's sake.

This crutch of immediate gratification is causing an entire generation to not realize how greatness is achieved and can be achieved.

75. Independence Day the hard way with Thom Shea Jul 02, 2018

Show notes

I know the value of independence. I truly get it. There is not a moment that goes by that I am not reminded in some way of the value of being a US citizen and living in this country. But most people have forgotten what it took to get here and what it takes to preserve this state of independence. And that forgetting literally makes them dependent.

73. A Navy SEAL's View on Failure with Thom Shea Jun 19, 2018

Show notes

Unbreakable Podcast is a forum to discuss the solutions to problems through looking at the human dynamic equation. I know that people are the solution. People. People are capable of so much more. And that realization is pretty damn important when you know what can and will happen when people become responsible to the problems we face. www.unbreakablelessons.com My commitment in today's podcast is to discuss my personal experience with the people side. There are three points I have witness across the five spectrums or pyramids of human performance. Those five pyramids are physical ability, intellectual growth, wealth development, key relationships and spiritual discovery. So in those five areas lets talk about what stops people from succeeding.

72. Fear Prevents Action with Thom Shea Jun 13, 2018

Show notes

Fear. What is Fear? Why is fear so prevalent in our society? It sure seems so many people are gripped with fear in all aspects of their life. People seem afraid to fail, seem afraid to speak in public, afraid to get and stay in shape, afraid to love or be loved, afraid to win, afraid to say I a sorry. Fear, from my point of view is everywhere.

I find it odd because in the seal community fear doesn't really exist. Being scared yes scared does exist, but fear doesn't.

So what is fear? Fear is an emotion that when felt prevents action. That is all it is. Fear is designed to prevent you from doing whatever you are afraid of doing. Let me say that again fear prevents action.

Fear is an emotion. And like all other emotions has a particular outcome. Did you know that emotions are there to produce a predicable outcome in your life? The outcome of fear is simple to not be able to take action regarding the thing that you are afraid of.

Notice what you are afraid of in your life?

71. The first principle of success- effort Jun 01, 2018

Show notes

The first principle of success: Effort

The first principle of success surely isn't passion. The streets are filled with passionate people who haven't converted passion to success. Passion is important but passion is not a foundational building block of success. Passion is how you feel about what you are doing and passion can turn when you are tired, when you are faced with extreme conditions, and when the outcome seems impossible.

The first principle of success isn't education, or grades, or degrees. The same street that is filled with the carcasses of the passionate ones is also filled with the highly educated degree seekers who never hit success. Having a degree and getting a higher education, albeit, seems necessary has lost favor in the business world due to missing the first principle of success.

The real first principle of success is actually effort. Sheer effort in countless hours of practice and routine and hammering until success happens. Without this first principle being both a state of mind and a state of being, then I can tell you your odds of succeeding at anything becomes limited to handouts and unearned entitlements. And effort is not taught openly anymore.

70. War Heroes: Britt Slabinski, Tommy Custer, and Draper Kaufmann May 26, 2018

Show notes

In our family, we celebrate Memorial Day by sharing stories of the men and women and their heroic actions that helped shape our republic. In this podcast I share a few stories are of true warriors, men who were born of war, who loved to fight and encouraged us all to do better.

We begin with Tommy Custer, the brother of George Custer, whom was awarded two Medal of Honors for his relentless bravery during the civil war. His lack of fear for the enemy had a dramatic impact of during the way.

Next is Navy SEAL Draper Kaufmann whom was awarded two Navy Crosses in World War II. He wrote the curriculum for Hell Week and set a precedent for leadership in the teams.

Finally, a story about Navy SEAL Britt Slabinski whom recently was awarded the Medal of Honor. The story is a story of brotherhood and the love and action of love from one to another.

As you ponder the deeds of those men on Memorial Day, get more encouraged that you are here in America and have more to give to the nation, to the family you have and even to yourself.

69. The Three Crossroads toward Success With Thom Shea May 20, 2018

Show notes

In my experience, in the experience of growing up in America in the 70s, the experience of beginning a life path in the 80s, the being a Navy SEAL in the 90s and at the turn of the century up until 2014, then now training leaders and high performing men and women in the past 5 years, I am clear there are three major crossroads in everyone's life.

These huge intersections greatly determine what people can and will do. These three crossroads are action and decision points for all of us. Oddly, few realize how important they truly are.

As we go through the three crossroads, I ask you to imagine what you would be had you taken a different path. I ask you to if possible take the new path, now, if you took the wrong one, then. If you are brave enough to take it now there are many of us who are committed to helping. There are also many other people who are committed to keeping you on the lesser of the paths. But I can assure you my partners know the benefits of the right one.
