2Dumb2Quit w/ Jeremy McComb

This week I discuss some Marcus Aurelius writings and how we must be better than the circumstances. To better the world we must better the world around us which means bettering ourselves. Being the fire, pushing through the obstacles, Which makes for th perfect guest as the Nascar Camping World Truck series Driver #26 Tyler Ankrum discusses his philosophy on fighting his way up the ladder of Nascar chasing his dream.

*Please forgive the editing of the air between answers in the interview, the Zoom Call created a good bit of noise which I didn't want yall to have to hear.*

"New Year, New Me" - The Post Looks good on the Gram but are we actually starting or are we gonna be sitting in the same place in 12 months...

"The World has never been worse" I've heard this so much and;Well, Its just not True. 

The truth is Nature is a dumpster Fire.. The World & Universe is unkind, unforgiving, violent and totally out of our control.

What can we each do to live our lives in accordance with the nature of things? To remove our stress and anxiety and to come through difficult times with a different perspective. To be truly Happy on our own regardless of external circumstances.

We're on the road in Sturgis with Nascar Legend Rusty Wallace & Steve Wallace Crews. We're talking about 80 years of Sturgis, Custom badass motorcycles, Waking up naked in Helicopters and more with my friend, the true American Badass Steven Wallace!!

A Huge Thanks to the Crew and Steve & Rusty for the hospitality and great times!!!

Each of us have a deeper self we neglect. The parts of us that we dislike. Maybe its a tendency to quit too early or not follow through, maybe its trouble with trust. whatever it is, We have to embrace those parts and engage them to improve ourselves and learn to love those parts to change them.

This week I'm highlighting just a hint of the resolve Benjamin Franklin possessed, Not only as a Founding Father, an Abolitionist, a Scientist, writer, Humorist, and so much more. He envisioned an America that was held up by a backbone of Moral Character, self betterment and unity. 

I highlight one of his exercises that I use Daily. Its amazing how all of this and all of us are connected.

Its beautiful out there, Choose to see the good.

Cheers! 

During times of hardship and unrest, it's important to look back on other times like these where we as people got better. We may not get it all right but progress and growth and understanding each other as brothers and sisters and realizing were just temporary visitors on this little blue marble. We've got to talk care of each other on a community level and teach our children to be better. 

shout the good, help your neighbor and do whats right.

John Boyd certainly isn't history's darling even with a compelling 30 year career of impeccable service and innovations to our military and Aircraft Warfare. His ideas and concepts have been adopted by our military, Governments, Sports teams and used in case studies of Court litigations..

Its an interesting question we each need to ask ourselves. 

Which way is direction is your sail pointed?

*Many quotes from and Thanks to Ryan Holliday and his Book "Ego is the enemy" 

Its a Must Read!

The disease of me, Our ego and getting in our own way.. It happens to us all. 

It happens to the best minds on the planet, but for every flawed trait we have as humans, we also have the ability to practice the opposite of it. To control how we react and how we approach situations to remove our egos.

This is an amazing man who I'd never heard of until I read Ryan Holliday's "Ego is the Enemy."

General George Marshall remains (after George Washington) the most respected soldier in American history. Yet he never had command of troops in battle, which is normally the customary path to greatness for a military leader. He excelled at many other tasks that a modern officer is asked to perform and then served capably in the civilian roles of diplomat and policy maker as well.
