Each step in this journey demanded a higher degree of self-discipline, adaptability, and capability. Working alongside elite forces such as Navy SEALs, Green Berets, and other special operation units, one principle always stuck out—not only do you need to fully understand your role, but You also need to be capable of understanding and performing everyone else’s role.
