Episode 8 - WTF Any Given Day Means

Listen on SPOTIFY | Listen on APPLE PODCAST

Overview

Any Given Day means being an expert generalist, jack of all trades and master of none, managing minimums to always be an asset and never a liability.


Former Army Ranger and Special Operations Human Performance Coach, Nate Palin, offers a reality based approach to coaching the warfighter on how to shoot, move, and communicate more effectively on the front lines and the home front. I reconcile high performance ideals with an often volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous reality faced by the warfighter - so you can focus your effort where it matters most.  


Any Given Day ready is characterized by physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual resilience.

Resilience Phases 

  • Resist (build your armor)

  • Rebound (bend but don’t break)

  • Rebuild (rise like a phoenix from the ashes)

Resilience Characteristics 

  • Physicality - movement competency, output, and capacity

  • Mentality - competent, confident, positive (views stress as an opportunity)

  • Emotionality - self awareness & vulnerability (authenticity x risk), mindfulness (create space between stimulus and response), aware of others (empathy) 

  • Spirituality - believe in something bigger than yourself and act in faith

Any Given Day approaches these characteristics of resilience through four cornerstones:

  • MOVE your body - Recon, Physicality, Constructs, Reality 

  • HONE your craft - Skills, Techniques, Tactics, Strategy

  • ENGAGE to lead  - Self, Connection, Influence, Creation

  • ADAPT to stress - Sleep, Fuel, Attention/Energy, Activity 

Cornerstones are interdependent and situationally relative.

Lethality.... Longevity (immortality) 

Hemingway: "Every man has two deaths: when he is buried in the ground and the last time someone says his name."

Any Given Day is saying yes to cool shit because you're physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually prepared. Be ready when they call - whoever, whenever, wherever, for whatever.
