How to Make Yourself Unbreakable | DJ Shipley

My guest is DJ Shipley, a retired Tier 1 operator Navy SEAL and now
a top public educator on how to build mental and physical health
and reach top-level performance in any endeavor. DJ’s life is one
marked by extraordinary strivings, wins, setbacks and comebacks
that together have shaped his approach to overcoming challenges of
all kinds and to daily life. DJ explains a regimen of clear,
practical steps and a mental stance that can allow anyone—male,
female, young or old—to build extreme resilience of mind and body
and to be successful in family and work. We also discuss his
experience with new, emerging treatments for addiction, PTSD and
depression that many people, not just veterans, are benefiting
from. The tools DJ describes to “stack small wins” and to be
ultra-intentional about your mindset will be of immense benefit to
anyone wishing to achieve the best version of themselves. Read the
