Three years ago, Tony Robbins kicked off his annual 3-day, free online seminar, Unleash the Power Within.
While at work, I tuned into the seminar on my computer. Although I couldn’t fully concentrate on work, I absorbed the psychological concepts he shared.
One session that stood out was when he introduced a retired Navy SEAL from his podcast to the audience.
I might not capture it perfectly, but Tony shared a compelling podcast segment: a conversation between a retired Navy SEAL officer and his subordinate, as recounted by the SEAL himself.
“We didn’t get the money for that high-speed boat,” the subordinate said, his voice edged with frustration.
Jocko Willink, the SEAL officer, didn’t flinch. He responded with a single word:
“Good.” Jocko continued, “Now we can concentrate on training for this coming mission.”
In another time, the subordinate reported that his team didn’t get the promised new equipment.
