“Only if you reach the boundary will the boundary recede before you. And if you don’t, if you confine your efforts, the boundary will shrink to accommodate itself to your efforts. And you can only expand your capacities by working to the very limit.” Hugh Nibley
Great Quote!
Great interview Alex. Jocko’s dedication is unsurpassed. Definitely downloading the Marine checklist to see how I grade as a leader.
