Today we talk about our Veteran's Day event.  We have pictures and videos of the skills we saw and do a in-depth analysis of the superhuman capabilities on display.  Congratulations to AFG (Air Force Gaming) who took the Gold Medal at first place. 

Guest: Jason Hill, ex-Army. Runs the VALOR Organization for the Mid-central United States including 700 members. 

Co-hosts: Ken Corigliano & Bilal Rana 

We talk about restraint in the face of adversity. Why most of the time the biggest, toughest acting people have the least self-control. We reveal why being open about the trauma and “dark” times in our life is a sign of strength, as well as being a tough guy who is an advocate of medication, self-actualization, yoga, and mental visualization

Incredible interview! Sam started his world-class career with George Lucas and Lucasarts making games for movies like Star Wars and Mission Impossible.

• Figure out your hobby and make your living off it 
• Computational genomics 
• Doctors are insanely curious 
• Being intellectually curious is actually recharging 
• Big fan of physics games

Inside your own mind to conquer yourself, find yourself, and compete globally with the best.  

Meditate: whole job is to get your mind in the future, but today 

Always someone who has it worse but has more hope, always someone who has had it worse and is happy now.  

Sometimes you have to fake it to make it.  

You should be your own biggest fan.  

Have a goal that you can measure the smallest wins to celebrate.   

Celebrate each win.  

Visualize yourself being and acting what you want as your brain builds the necessary componentry to do it.  

100% expect that house is coming from somewhere.  

When you chase something it runs, when you sit and expect it to come, it comes to you out of curiosity.   

Giving back and serving others is a necessary step to joy and happiness. Find a way to make it a foundation of your life, be ready and willing to sacrifice a major event for a friend or family member who needs you.  

Relax and let what you want come to you. 

• Traveling and gaming during off-times, off-duty, vacation, and holidays 
• Using self-discipline when you're off of your schedule 
• Gaming as a personal solitary event versus group/family/friends fun 
• Family coop (It Takes Two) as an incredible bonding opportunity 
• How do you “train” for gaming like elite athletes train with weights or weighted training—blindfolded, calculated mistakes, difference between being reckless and taking calculating mistakes to put yourself at an intentional disadvantage

What is flow state, ChatGPT answers the question.

David Frye 

In gaming, her family plays "value added activities"  

In 2020, the highest earning gamer earned $550,000 in playing online chess. Confidence comes from only one place: Credible Self-Talk. Knowledge, experience, and study all are necessary for credible self-talk. Have a confidence mantra or epic self-talk.  

Mental visualization is the most powerful tool available bar none. 

Bilal: if this is such a powerful thing, why isn’t this taught, why isn’t this a widely known thing? 

Jannell: There has become a stigma about taking a break to do mental well-being and practicing your trait mentally. It’s every career field everywhere. Our youth today are very overscheduled, very taxed part of your day. We start to day dream almost half of our day. But day dreaming is different than mind wandering, tune in tot find out more.

Topic: High school v college v pro esports   In college there are scholarships for gaming. In traditional sports there are lots of pipelines to fulfill these demands and to create ROI.  April’s University has scouts to recruit gamers for their 13 titles and he goes to the local high schools to recruit.  Do certain games prevent inclusion due to social or cultural norms? Does the game characteristics and characters incentivize or prevent inclusion? What about the demographics of game engineers, leaders and designers? Rhythm games and repetition games require hundreds or thousands of replays and appeal to many neurodiverse populations.  Are there physical attributes that will give people an advantage in certain games?

Unconscious Incompetence: This stage is characterized by a lack of awareness or knowledge about a particular skill or behavior. In this stage, the individual does not even know that they are lacking knowledge or skills in a particular area. They may be overconfident in their abilities, and they may not realize that there is room for improvement.  

Conscious Incompetence: In this stage, the individual becomes aware of their lack of knowledge or skills in a particular area. They recognize that they have room for improvement and are motivated to learn more. This stage can be frustrating and uncomfortable, but it is an essential step in the learning process.  

Conscious Competence: In this stage, the individual has acquired the knowledge or skills needed to perform a particular task or behavior, but they still need to focus and concentrate to use their skills effectively. This stage requires a lot of practice and repetition to develop fluency.  Unconscious Competence: This stage is characterized by a high level of skill or expertise in a particular area. The individual can perform the task or behavior automatically, without having to think about it consciously. The skill has become ingrained and automatic, and the individual is no longer consciously aware of the steps involved in performing the task or behavior. 

We interview Derek Herrera, world famous speaker and probably the most humble and gracious person you'll ever meet. If you are following our "nuggets" that our guests drop, you'll need a notepad for this one. An absolute amazing interview that will have you replaying it again for sure.  

He founded the Marine Raider Foundation #marineraiderfoundation 

Topics: 

Do you think being exposed to diverse experiences increases resilience?

When something is permanent and then disappears, that can be very challenging. For him everything was with a team and after his accident he said, "well now I'm alone, but my team is still deployed for another 5 months. How can I do the most with what I have here?" That is when is started to gain massive motivation instead of turning on the victim attitude.  

Victim mentality: I felt fortunate to have this experience to know those in my team I met. I actually felt totally honored to have known them. I wanted to honor them with massive action, decisiveness, and to find problems that only I could solve. That is where I started building my businesses. But it's not all rainbows. Failures to me were just necessary learning moments.  There’s always someone who has it worse for myself, a choice to do something amazing, two philosophies I live by: Maslow’s hierarchical needs use it to achieve new levels; a stoic mindset: what is in my control, what is out of my control;---you have to put yourself out there and fail to discover what is out of your control (if you are constantly taking it safe, you are not finding what is in your control); many people who do not push themselves will never discover what is in your control; be ok with failure; have a support system you can rely upon in difficult times; have a sense of purpose fulfillment  he’s really motivated by the impact of what he does.  

He's met the President and other influential people and he sees them all the same, doesn't matter how popular or important someone is, to him they are all people. This allows him to be authentic, not get out of his value system, and relate to whomever he speaks to.  

Other hosts: The things #joerogan and  #jocko do well are that they are #genuine and don't do it for followers or views. They do it because they have an honest interest in the guest. He was a past #jockopodcast #jockowillink guest and will only do shows that meet this criteria.  

People are flawed, interesting, authentic, that’s why we tune in. Be proud of your flaws and work them to your advantage.
