It’s often an over used cliche but freedom isn’t free. We would not be who we are today without the sacrifices of so many on D-Day.

Thank you. Never forgotten.

Always give yourself a chance! You never know what’s on the other side of the fear and hesitation. You will often surprise yourself. Worst case, you can always quit later. Haha…….

Couldn’t have had a better time with at their annual golf tournament. Honored to be part of such a great event and amazing group. HOPE is one of the nation’s highest rated veteran-focused charities. Always a great time with them and my good friend Robin Kelleher (HOPE CEO and Co-Founder). Plus some good times with my old friend Also, many thanks to for their valuable support. They always go out of their way to support veterans.

#523: World Record Holder Matt Dawson on Using Physical Challenges TO Deal With Mental Health, The Power of Perspective and Why Surrender is the Highest Form of Strength!

is a six-time world-record-holding endurance and adventure athlete who, within a twelve-month period, climbed the highest peak on every continent, skied to the South Pole, trekked solo and unsupported across the Mojave Desert and Death Valley, and rowed across the Atlantic Ocean.
Performing in the planet’s harshest environments, he learned that his greatest obstacles don’t originate in the outside world, but within himself. That life doesn’t have to be a relentless battle against his deepest fears and shortcomings.

His new book, Strength In Surrender beckons you to embrace a different path and reveals a harrowing truth: one of the greatest acts of courage is surrender. Surrender isn’t giving in, giving up, or going along, but rather choosing to face and release our deepest fears in order to identify more productive ways of meeting our needs. It's a powerful, necessary step to living a life of greater purpose.

👉 Physical challenges can help in reconnecting with oneself.

👉 Disconnection is a common issue in today's society.

👉 Facing fears is essential for emotional release.

👉 Reality is not as concrete as we believe it to be.

👉 We have the power to shape our own reality.

👉 Living with purpose is crucial for fulfilment.

👉 Emotional pain can lead to significant breakthroughs.

👉 The journey to finding purpose can take time.

👉 Engaging in physical challenges can foster personal growth. Living a life of purpose can significantly improve mental health..

👉 Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

👉 No one is truly alone in their struggles; many share similar pains.

👉 Embracing discomfort can lead to profound personal growth.

👉 Focusing on the process rather than just the outcome is crucial.

👉 Surrendering to the unknown can lead to new opportunities for growth.

👉 Personal evolution is about learning to trust oneself and others.

NEW WORLD RECORD!

THE FASTEST EVER CROSSING OF THE MOJAVE DESERT ON FOOT.

329.35 miles in 7 days, 8 hours and 45 mins. Solo and unsupported.

Last 72 miles was a 36 hour push with no sleep.

That’s it folks - it’s done. Gonna take some time to process this one. The trip turned into something much greater and far more demanding than expected.

It never ceases to amaze me what our bodies are capable of once we decide to do it. Life often comes down to a choice of where to place our energy. Are we going to focus on pain or progress? We can’t do both.

It’s wild where your mind goes during times of extreme stress. There were many moments throughout the trip where I was plugged into something greater than myself. Sometimes it’s called the “Third Man Factor”. Basically, there is some kind of presence that provides guidance and support during times of extreme stress or trauma. There is no doubt it helped me through numerous points and especially the last 36 hours.

Miles 295 - 320 were especially difficult as injuries caused me to slow my pace dramatically. With temps of 95-100, I was quickly running out of water and time. It was the guidance of this Third Man that convinced me to take a chance, try a different course, and focus on making progress (not the pain).

A big thanks to and Thank you also to
