INTERVIEW WITH TIM KENNEDY (Warrior Ambassador, MMA fighter and Super Peak Performer): Imagine this room is filling up with poisonous gas,” Tim said. “There’s two doors behind me, one window and one to either side.” “We have several choices,” he said, “I can pick the locks of one of the doors. I can break down the doors. I can smash one of the windows and we can climb out. We have three minutes until we die. What do we do?” Tim is aware of everything around him. Which is probably why I started off the podcast with: “We have nothing in common.” It’s a creative challenge to figure out how to relate with each person I meet. He’s a US Army Special Forces sniper. He’s been to Iraq and Afghanistan. He’s an MMA fighter. And has multiple black belts. I have zero black belts. I have negative black belts. I haven’t been to war. And I’m not trained to kill people. I can’t shove someone without looking funny. So we have different instincts. He told me about the decisions he had to make every day. I can’t imagine. And not being able to imagine, is what we have in common. It’s when you try to find the bridge where two people can meet that I learn the most about the people around me.
