Normal is just a mathematical average. This is just what most people do in these circumstances. This is how most people eat. This is how most people sleep. This is how most people exercise. This is normal. Nothing wrong with it. But for some, normal is like a death sentence. I can't live my life normal. I have to be an outlier. I have to be different.

And then it's based on your thoughts and then more importantly, your actions. Some of the more surprising trends to get a little bit more granular of team guys and special operations, because you do have the aggressiveness and you do have the type A competitive, goal-oriented, driven personalities.

But operating in that 12-man team, to take the ODA as the example, is that does not thrive without a healthy dose of humility, which is what we mentioned quite often, which can almost catch you off guard. We were talking about some of the most savage, lethal weapons the world's ever known, even outside of SF specifically.

We have worked with tier one units and three-letter agencies from our country and others. And those that are at the absolute best of their game have weaponized humility. It almost can surprise you when you are alongside these individuals in a battlefield environment. And then 10 minutes later, they give you the shit off their back. They ask you like, how's your son doing?

They actually care and they're empathetic and they're compassionate. They're decent, kind human beings that are also savage animals. And they have a very deliberate control of that switch and they can flip it whenever they want. So Humility is without question present because I think it needs to be for a functional team, as we talked about.

If every single person believes that they're the absolute best at everything, there's no possible way that that can work in any kind of harmony. So that exists within those team room walls. And then what is necessary to lead towards that, and here's where I get to maybe what is the root, if I were to put it the absolute baseline, is emotional regulation, is emotional control.

that is in my opinion the differentiator between elite teams or elite individuals or even high performing and everybody else is emotional regulation and the reason why it is such a difficult skill to shop in because it is a skill is because it also defies mother nature and biology quite a bit like dale koenig he says it best

When you're dealing with a human being, you're not dealing with a creature of logic. You're dealing with a creature of emotion, which is 100% true, proven by neurology, biology, physiology, psychology. There is an emotion attached to every single thought or action you take. And it just goes on a loop. Emotion, thought, emotion, act, emotion, thought, emotion, act. It just keeps going around.
