Travis Mills is huge in spirit, in heart and in sense of humor. He's the kind of guy to joke that he would give an arm and a leg twice over to serve his country, and help other troops—because he did. As a U.S. Army staff sergeant on his third tour in Afghanistan, a bomb took most of all four of his limbs. Now recalibrated (his preferred term), he, wife Kelsey and a dedicated team host hundreds of...

Humble beginnings and values galore. A major theme of hard work is showing its face in the book. There's just something about hard work that can't be fast-tracked or created elsewhere. Do the work and get dirty!

Today's episode carries a really powerful message and reminder to refrain from judging others. You never know what's going on in someone's life, so it serves everyone best to reserve from assuming one thing or another. We tie that message to another book I recommend, "The Four Agreements."

Within the past year, I can remember walking into Barnes & Noble and seeing a book ("Capital Gaines") with a guy named Chip Gaines on the cover. I thought, "Who the heck is Chip Gaines, and why does he have a book?" Little did I know. I kept on walking. Not long after, my wife started watching Fixer Upper on HGTV religiously, and I got hooked. Turns out this Chip Gaines is quite a hilarious fellow...

One of the things I remember most from Travis's interview on Jocko Podcast (the first time I heard his story) was his description of the extreme phantom pains he felt in the hospital.

This is a very honest episode about ideal...
