We've lost this emphasis on being a leader and people, the mistake I think people make is when they hear, well, you know, leadership, they're looking to somebody else. Leadership is about how you view yourself. Don't look to somebody else to be your leader. I mean, fuck, look in the mirror and start leading yourself and your family at a local level.

Every team, regardless, I mean, if you have 10 of the most highly refined selected operators, the best military operators on planet earth, there's still a bottom 10%. Right. And in that cohort, they're a turd. So the dude at the top of that is the most amazing operator ever. And they're looking down the line, like you fucking suck. Right.

Now to everybody else, that would be the top performer in any sector everywhere. So, and I totally agree with you. Great leaders, I mean, they can enhance everybody. So you can polish the turd a little bit, but guess what? It's still a turd in the bowl at the end of the day. But you can actually, and I wish people want, equality of outcome is not something I agree with.

Equality of opportunity, I definitely agree with. And the difference in those two things is people's ability to perform. And let's just be honest, we're not all created equal. Some people are smart and some people are idiots. And that's just the way the cookie crumbles. And nothing is going to make the idiot a smart person.

But a great leader can take that smart person and maybe turn them into a genius or unlock for that person their genius capability. Leadership is a great tool. But as human beings, we all have glass ceilings. And when you hit that, as much as it may suck, I'm sorry, that might be your station in life.

So to even get to BUDS on your first day, you volunteered multiple times and you've taken physical screening tests that if you pass them, you possess the physical ability to graduate. People don't quit because of the muscles above the neck. They quit because they get fatigued. Actually, I need to flip that. The muscles below the neck, right, the combat chassis, if you will,

It can tolerate so much, they quit because they get tired of the grind. And I describe buds as sandpaper. If I told anybody to get a piece of sandpaper and on your first day, you're gonna take it across your knuckles with a good amount of pressure. People can do that.

And they might do it the second day and the third day, but two months in when your knuckles are red and raw and there's pus seeping out of it, And I keep telling you to take the same piece of sandpaper across your knuckles. That's where you start separating the wheat from the chaff. And it's not that your body can't physically take it. You talk yourself out of it.
