Tim Kennedy is an active duty Master Sergeant and Green Beret within the US Army, a former UFC fighter, founder of Sheepdog Response, and author of Scars & Stripes.

In this conversation, Tim and I discuss:

• How this affected his mentality, and decisions he has made in life
• The poor choices he has made and what he has learned
• How Tim got into the UFC and what it was like to fight for the belt
• Is today's generation soft? And why Tim always encourages people to seek out discomfort and struggle
• The importance of tiny decisions, and why Tim believes in the micro, more than the macro
• His unique relationship with fear and how he overcomes it
• Tim's advice for anyone dealing with difficulties in their life, including mental health
• & much more
