BEAR HANDLON | Too Dumb to Fail?

One thing I've noticed with the over 500 guests I've had on the podcast is that they're all relentless in their chosen pursuit. I've also noticed that all of them think they're too dumb (to some degree) to fail – meaning they realize how crucial it is to be stubborn and hard-headed enough to keep going when all the "smart" people would quit. My guest today, former Navy SEAL and founder of Born Primitive, Bear Handlon, is no exception. Today, Bear and I talk about cutting against the grain, why the VA is failing our veterans, why so many men are unwilling to take risks in their lives, how he would have done things differently, and when to burn the boats.
