E34. Adam Burns(2)- Rules to Live By

Adam Burns is back! If you haven’t listened to episode 28, It is full of his background stories and military experience as a TACP.  I asked for him to come back because of his extensive understanding of the character of elite performance, as he currently works with candidates for the Air Force special warfare careers. This time he is talking about rules to live by.  These are mandatory for anyone looking to be the best at something.
