Episode 315: Elite Mindset with CSM Mike Burke

The Art of Masculinity

On this episode, we talked about:

Suffering is part of life and your process to heal
Find something that you enjoy doing
Being afraid of try new things
Getting out of your comfort zone
Not feeling comfortable with who you are
Finding your own elite level
Don't try to be something you're not
Defining the things that you want to do
You have to show your worth
You have to learn to lead yourself first
You don't have to ask permission as an entrepreneur
You're going to have to sacrifice at times
Needing time for yourself

"If you want to be elite in something or you want to be committed to something, you have to find something that you actually enjoy"

"We get comfortable with the things that we're doing and the steps that we took, and we only go through it"

"You don't need to try to be something you're not, be truthful to yourself and ask hard questions"
