Don't know Paul at all but from what I've seen from FB, the guy has a pretty good sense of humor too. Seems like an all around good guy.

Paul is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable trainers you will ever meet. From H2H to shooting, not only has he been "been there, done that", he knows how to teach it. What's more, he genuinely cares that people actually get better.

And yes, he has an awesome sense of humor.

He's not as good looking as I am, though.

I love John's work on Ballistic Radio, and catch it every week. Thanks for letting people know about this resource, Shawn. There's some terrific insight in the previous podcasts as well.

An adaptive, never give up mindset is developed through experience. You develop a large reservoir of will by doing things regularly that build your ability to suck it up and drive on. Going for a run when you don’t want to, eating or not eating certain foods, or lifting a metric ton of weight are simple everyday all day ways to exercise your will to do what you need to do even when you don’t want to. For really digging deep though, I’ve found there must be an element of pain associated with failing. Sure, unracking 600 pounds and dropping below parallel then grinding your way back to standing is scary. All kinds of things can go wrong but once you do it your mind is opened to just how strong you could be and you have an incredible surge in self-confidence. The process you go through to get to a 600 pound squat will make a significant deposit in the mindset account. Other ways to develop an adaptive indomitable mindset would be boxing, wrestling, Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu, rock climbing, rappeling, motocross or racing of any type, sky diving…, essentially anything that involves you wondering if; A) can I do this? B) am I going to die? Once you’ve been in enough situations where your survival was almost completely in your own hands there will be few things you’ll encounter where you won’t have the confidence in yourself to firmly believe that you will always find a way out. I’ve learned more about an agile, adaptive and never give up mindset while practicing a climber rescue then I ever learned in any lecture on mindset. The penalty in failing was great and the ability to calm myself, work through each problem presented while fatigue mounted taught me many more lessons about embracing the suck, being adaptable and driving on than anything I’ve ever read or heard on the topic.
