This week we welcome Kevin Bloom, founder of the Optimal Warrior.  Kevin identifies the Optimal Warrior as individuals dedicated to identifying their inner fears, facing them head on, and taking action to become the best version of themselves. They are men and women of strong will and deep inner purpose. They understand that life is never complete and the challenges will never end. They have fallen in love with the process of growth, vibrancy, and LIVING. Instead of letting the outside world overcome them, they look within, they take each day as if it were their last, and they fight for what they believe in.  Kevin decided to dedicate himself to helping the Optimal Warriors continue their missions and tackle their next objectives.  We discuss the four pillars of his Optimal Warrior Approach, what it means to be a modern-day warrior, and the importance of mindfulness throughout our lives.  Kevin talks about the challenges of starting his business while deployed, and the reaction from his unit when he implemented some of these techniques while overseas.  We also discuss starting a podcast, and how it is the perfect tool for reaching out and growing an audience.  So whether you are a boot getting to your first duty assignment, or the saltiest veteran on the block, this is the episode for you.
