Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

Well, I always found that it was funny.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

Like in my 20s, I was always pretty successful.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

So I would get, you know, hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in my bank from business.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

And I would actually get worse because I'd be like, oh, I've got plenty.

Living The Red Life

So now I invest like as soon as money comes in, I try not to keep a lot of money there because it gives me the hunger like when I had no money.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

You have to be

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

hungry you know it gives me that and i think that's kind of what you're saying like you know in training you'd treat it you know it's easy to go oh it's just training right but you would treat it like it's real so when it becomes real everyone's prepared and i don't know if you know the regular police and stuff do that because you hear about these stories where people freeze up right and i imagine more special units and forces are trained a lot more intensely to get them ready for that

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

I like that.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

Yeah.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

So let me ask you a question around this sort of work ethic, right?

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

Because that's what I keep hearing, this constant work ethic, never giving up.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

And I try, I think I enforce that in myself and people around me, my teams.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

And I've been brought up that way.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

You know, everyone says Rudy is zero to 100 always, you know.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

And I think because I came from a family of pro athletes that train three times a day, it's all I knew.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

Uh, but there's a lot of people in life, you know, general people, they're not where they want to be in life.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

They're not their dreams, their financial.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

And I obviously a circumstance and environment does have a factor, but I mean, a big part of it is people are afraid to put in the work sometimes.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

Right.

Living The Red Life
27th U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: Power, Leadership, and Life-or-Death Decisions

And they're afraid to stay consistent.
