How to Measure Your Life with Don Reynolds

In this episode, Brock talks with Don Reynolds. Don is a Sergeant Major in the Marine Corps with 22 years of service under his belt and is currently working in recruiting. We discuss the past, present, and future culture of the marine corps including what makes the perfect marine. Don talks about how a dose of imposter syndrome is a good check for the chest-bumping alpha culture of the military in general. Our world today has much faster feedback loops and that's evidenced in social media today; we talk through how that plays out in disciplining and leading the Marines of today. The biggest topic we dive into is understanding what you want to be measured against in life. The military offers an extremely simplistic way to be measured. In the Marines, you need to shoot, run, and ruck well. That isn't for some people, but for Don, that is a dream.
