I coach driven leaders and place special operators in businesses @uncommon_elite. Used to fly blacked out helicopters, now I struggle to dock a boat.
You don’t grow a mustache like this without doing some serious shit. Shane Barnes did bad things to some bad people as a 160th Nightstalker. Most notable- an operation a couple years back that killed the top ISIS leader. Shane didn’t miss. He took my spot on that…
A former colleague of mine runs a very niche flight service. He sets up mini flight departments for ultra high net worth individuals. They all have helicopters, and want 160th dudes to fly them. So he finds the pilots, negotiates the purchase of the helicopter, and then…
If you call flying a large helicopter with a lot of guns on someone else’s dime work, then yes
Have you ever worked a 100 hour week?
There is a guy out there, placing junior military officers in big corporations. > $10M in revenue with a team of less than 20. Another firm tried to buy him, to which he said “why would I try to sell?” Spits off a lot of cash, he’s happy, why abandon that?
This baller Green Beret thought P&L was a word 6 months ago. Now he is single handedly building strategic partnerships, revamping the team, and has greater financial acumen than most MBAs buying a business. One of my favorite placements- because the owners truly bought in on:…
If I was in my 20s and wanting to do my own thing, I’d join the national guard. Ridiculous health benefits. Tons of other small business owners, many just feed each other work. The time commitment is less than most people spend in a gym per year.
Thinking of going naked on health insurance. Is this a bad idea? I have insurance, it costs me so much. And I still pay an ass ton out of pocket. Baring the low probability risk of disease; going no health insurance is a better deal. Just pay everything out of pocket.
Some of the greatest times I had were being hungover after two weeks at the beach and just trying to make it home on America's airline.
Just drove from south florida to SC with a blown AC Came home to a thawed freezer of American wagyu The upside here is that I can just buy a truck which will allow me to carry more beef back from the farm I go to.
I’d like the option to earmark where my tax dollars go. I have to imagine that if we were able to do that, most of those dollars would probably go to infrastructure, military, and other programs that benefit all Americans, and not just specific segments. Personally, I would…
I get the desire to have your people upsell But maybe don’t make the guide customer facing @panerabread
A consistent thought I have is becoming a plumber- just for this.
I own a commercial drywall business and spend most of my work days at my desk working on the business not in the business. I just spent the last week working in the field managing the placement of concrete foundations as part of a major renovation we are doing on our house, and…
I kept zip lock bags in my ammo pouches in case I felt like puking all over the cockpit. Didn’t miss the target nor the bag.
Once got pulled into a last minute meeting w a potential investor at a private club, while I was dressed like a clown. Afterward, my friend who brokered the meeting, a v dapper Italian count (seriously), kindly explained that I needed to be dressed for this eventuality every…
🚨 Today is the last day you can get Fundamentals for $0.99. Tomorrow it goes to $9.99. If you do buy the book and enjoy it, I would be very grateful if you would leave a review. ⭐ If you're on the fence, this is the table of contents: ----------- 1. How Long Does It Take…
1. Aviator 2. Warrant Officer Working for a living would be a slight exaggeration if I didn't know you were enlisted before going to the dark side
