If you're anything like me, when you were a kid you had dreams of becoming an elite warrior or a NASA Astronaut – maybe both. My guest today is a man that took those dreams and is making them a reality.His name is Mario Romero. He's a former Navy SEAL, NASA Diver, and aspiring NASA Astronaut and he's here today to talk about what that path looks like, his struggles along the way, failures and setbacks, his path to redemption, and how he's a man who is currently living out every boy's dreams. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Going Beyond Pluto Every kid's dream The frontier of space Spacewalking Dark matter detection Pursuing fulfillment Interrogating nature Discovering new information Science in America Growing up in poverty Leaving the SEAL teams A downward spiral Building relevancy Studying astronomy Predetermined destiny Being courageous Rewriting a new path in life Getting into NASA Returning to the moon MARIO ROMERO As I mentioned earlier, my guest today is Mario Romero. He spent over 8 years as a Navy SEAL and, upon leaving the Teams, he enrolled in college and achieved his Bachelor's Degree in Pure Mathematics from Columbia University.And, to add to that, over the past year he has been working with NASA as a NASA Diver preparing both the technology and astronauts for the demands and rigors of space travel.He's had a ton of ups and downs along his path and, despite his tremendous success in life, he's one of the most humble individuals I've had the honor of sitting down with.

A nation that has no borders ceases to be a nation. This is why it's critical that we find realistic and effective solutions to secure this nation's borders. And, while there are many polarizing thoughts on the subject, it's also critical that we have discussions about this pressing issue. That's why, when I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days with Jason Owens, Chief Patrol Agent of the Houlton Sector (all of Maine), and his team, I jumped at the chance to learn more about what these men and women do and clear up misconceptions about their role and responsibilities. Today, we talk about those misconceptions, the threats our nation faces, how best to go about securing the resources to protect against those threats, and the brave men and women who do the work of securing our nation's borders. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The common denominator Becoming well-rounded Different ways of doing business Needing more resources The border crisis Protect your freedom Presenting the facts Relying on community Crisis on the border Finding a port of entry Exploiting loopholes The responsibility of public servants Presenting objective facts Subject Matter Expertise Leaving a legacy behind JASON OWENS As I mentioned earlier, today I have the opportunity to sit down with the Chief Patrol Agent of the Houlton Sector (which is essentially all of Maine). He has over 20 years of experience under his belt and formerly served as Deputy Chief Patrol Agent of the Laredo Sector directing operation along the U.S/Mexico border. He has completed both the Border Patrol Tactical Unit Selection Course and Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue Team Selection Course. He's served in Texas, D.C., Honduras, Columbia, Iraq, and the Dominican Republic among other operations. I cannot imagine a more qualified man to talk about the unique and challenging work of protecting this nation's borders.

Every one of us wants to be a more effective leader but there is a huge difference between being a boss/manager and being a leader, and, if you take it even further, a coach. A coach is someone who helps guide another individual to do and be more.Today, I am joined by a great coach, Brett Bartholomew, the author of Conscious Coaching, to talk about what makes a successful coach. We talk about the social skills needed to effectively coach others, the distinction between compliance and commitment, the nuances between influencing others and manipulating them, and ultimately how to coach others well. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Building a personal brand Transactional people Breeding complacency Overcoming perfectionism Managing risk Dealing with anxiety Tools for productivity Getting ahold of your demons Finding the right headspace The outcome of influence Navigating your own darkness Leading with value The three-stage framework BRETT BARTHOLOMEW As I stated earlier, I am joined by my friend and an absolutely phenomenal coach, Brett Bartholomew. I only met Brett recently but I did watch him present some of the ideas that he's going to share with you today at SummerStrong earlier in the year and I can tell you that without a doubt, Brett is extremely qualified and competent when it comes to human psychology and performance and how to optimize the body and brain for performance.He is a strength and conditioning coach, consultant, and the founder of the consulting company, The Bridge Human Performance. He's worked with professional athletes, Olympians, members of Special Forces, Fortune 500 Companies, and so many more. And, I'm honored he's joining us to share his in-depth knowledge of coaching others well.
