    15: Nothing Good Comes From Comfort
    Apr 18 2019
    “Partnerships are hard. And the part that pushes and pulls is the thing that makes the beauty.” - Ryan Heuser(click to tweet)  Comfort has its time and place. But more often than not, we overdose on it— eating temptation foods, binge-watching TV shows, and snoozing our alarm clocks instead of waking up to seize the day. When we rewire our receptors to view comfort as a bad thing—we start to embrace the process. Struggles at work, challenges in relationships, moments of inner turmoil—these all become opportunities to develop new muscles, learn more about ourselves, and find solutions to the puzzle of life. On today’s episode of the Life Uncharted Podcast, we are joined by Ryan Heuser to discuss his relationship with comfort. Ryan is the founder of the athletic brand—Athletic Recon, and previously co-founder of Paul Frank Industries. He's been a featured speaker for Tedx, appeared on MSNBC, FOX Business and has been covered by Vanity Fair, Wall Street Journal and his personal favorite, Runner’s World. You can learn more about him and his podcast Brevity Code here“Life’s not a straight line. It’s winding paths.” - Ryan Heuser(click to tweet)Points to Keep In MindThough not the easiest path to live, understand nothing good happens when you’re comfortableCollaborate well by cherish the push and pull of the partnershipMore times than not, you will make the right decision when you lead with authenticityThe hardest decisions require putting your ego aside Seek real human-to-human contact by spending time in the rural parts of the world Learn more about your ad choices.

    14: What Happens When A Navy SEAL Writes A Novel
    Apr 12 2019
    “It’s a game of constant adaptation and whoever does that faster usually ends up on top.” - Jack Carr(click to tweet)  Everyone has a unique life story. But very few of us actually take the time to tell it. Instead, we go to our jobs and rise in our careers without writing that book that we’ve always dreamt of in the backs of our heads. On today’s episode of the Life Uncharted Podcast, we are joined by author and Navy SEAL—Jack Carr. Jack led special operations teams as a Team Leader, Platoon Commander, Troop Commander and Task Unit Commander. Over his 20a years in Naval Special Warfare he transitioned from an enlisted SEAL sniper specializing in communications and intelligence, to a junior officer leading assault and sniper teams in Iraq and Afghanistan, to a platoon commander practicing counterinsurgency in the southern Philippines, to commanding a Special Operations Task Unit in the most Iranian influenced section of southern Iraq throughout the tumultuous drawdown of U.S. Forces.You can learn more about Jack Carr here and order The Terminal List here“Looking back, BUD/S is one of the easiest things you do on the SEALs teams. Your responsibility is to show up at the right time, at the right place, with the right gear, and not quit. That’s it.” - Jack Carr(click to tweet)Points to Keep In MindEvaluate the ‘teamability’ in your prospective collaboratorsIndividual challenges of mental toughness are distinctly easier than the challenges that come with other peopleWhoever adapts faster usually ends up on topToday’s author needs to excel on social media in addition to the quality of his/her writingWhen writing fiction, apply your own emotional experience to the narrativeIn Japanese bushido, a samurai would go into battle already thinking he was deadAccept that news and media outlets choose specific stories, while recognizing there’s more to the story Learn more about your ad choices.

Pharmaceutical drugs have side effects—we’ve all seen commercials with the ending disclaimer, “You may experience nausea, fatigue, dizziness, constipation, muscle ache.” So, for treating our medical issues, we must seek out other options.

The therapeutic benefits of CBD are becoming increasingly validated by science, and with that has come increased awareness and acceptance of CBD in mainstream culture.Listen to this episode to hear Brandon’s insights on all things related to CBD, internet marketing, and technological evolution. “The status quo is too easy to maintain.” - Brandon Harshberger(click to tweet)Points to Keep In MindIt’s more expensive to get eyeballs on a cannabis product than a tobacco productContrary to popular belief, hemp is a non-psychoactive marijuana plantCBD medicines can take children with epilepsy from 100 seizures/day to 1-2 seizures/dayThe Steve Jobs vs. Elon Musk debate boils down to communication vs. saving the worldWe overestimate what we can do in one year and underestimate what we can do in 10Customers respond better when you are ahead of their problems, coming to them before they come to youThere are no side effects to CBD other than nausea if taken on an empty stomachLearn more about your ad choices.
