He is a fucking liar Don’t believe in him😢

Propaganda garbage

My motivations for joining the military were totally selfish. I would like to go back to my youth and give myself a serious talk.

Love hearing about your superpower, Shelly! It’s great hearing how you are aligning people with their strengths and values, and I’m excited to see what you’re doing to help our veterans with this difficult transition process. Quality is so very important! And Scott….how did I totally miss the S2 connection! 🤯

You're my hero🥹♥️🦸🏼Keep going#teamKate #teamAvril #teamAlexander #TeamDickerson #teamMiley #teamNSA #teamWray

This is great stuff!

Thank you for your service

Competence plus integrity plus hard work is a winning formula!

Great video Scott and something that needs to be talked about in every industry!

Scott, Thanks for sharing and as always great advice. I agree with many of your points. I am attending few family reunions later this year. I definitely look forward to spending some quality time with my extended family members that I have not seeing in a few years.

Fantastic video. I am certainly to some extent a sufferer.

Seek first to understand. Love it!

Great topic! Dr. Jason Womack talked about this recently too. Remarkably, the highest ranking professionals and the least experienced people all have voices in their heads that tell them they are imposters.

Great message that speaks to so many. I have also found that self-talk helps. I have learned to identify those thoughts of doubt and go back to my notes from a conversation with a mentor, do some self-talk, and remind myself what is really important and that is those in my charge. Thank you for a great message!

All the best to your dear ones. Sorry to hear about your cousin.

Thanks Scott for sharing this outstanding advice, blessings brother

Another great post. Thank You Sir!

You doing the cateran yomp this year 😊

Thank you so much, Mr. Stalker. Your advice is invaluable.

Great knowledge transfer. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks Scott, great advice as always brother.

This video is fantastic, absolutely amazing editing and content. Well done.

Super Valuable Advice!!

Perfect conceptualization of the key elements and their value for a successful career were presented well. Thanks! Below, I bring up a couple other concepts in the context of what I know the most, which is science, doing it myself & training others in it. These are more like threads for other discussions. Having drive, passion, and defined goals with plans while being able to ride the wave of life’s new problems and opportunities does seem take a certain wisdom. I think some fields have more frequent larger waves. For me, science has more frequent larger waves than my comfort zone. The upside is that I do not have to push myself out of my comfort zone. Due to the nature of the work, I have developed maturity in cutting my losses and changing direction in a timely manner. (I gave my Drive a lame name) My drive name sounds vague but offers needed flexibility. My drive is to make a MEANINGFUL IMPACT that helps humans, emphasizing goals where there is more need of my atypical skillset or in a neglecteod area. As that area or method becomes more tended to I feel less need to stay there. My work shows what my approach yielded & did not yield. I value integrating multiple objectives if doing so will optimize my contributions. Investment and gains had to be through here. This may involve others so creative agility is a must because the goals of others must be respected and met too. The nature of what I will call sub-goals might require some reflection based on changed situations that require a CREATIVE AGIILITY. I am thinking of my own career in science and changes in what can be now done evolving due to advances and in changes forced by changes in funding priorities by granting agencies. ✅Witnessing a huge lack of critical thinking in young scientists erupted in a major change in the direction of my passion priorities changing from scentific discovery to advancing training in critical thinking with wisdom from multiple fields. The change in career path is due an awareness of just how unskilled young scientists are in basic research design due to impoverished critical thinking. Stopping research being done that means nothing is a value. And I believe our society’s reduced civility reflects a lack of basic critical thinking and discipline to do it. I did not anticipate this change but (self-eval) my Dad teaching me logic, my cognitive psychology background, my raw fear of cognitive bias trashing medical research. & my training in new teaching methods give me a basic foundation. I am adding human centered design & active learning to the tool bag to create the training I can develop with a group of folks from different backgrounds. I am interested in classroom learning using the latest tools and debates, etc and educational computer gaming. (Identified what scares me most) Computer gaming is my area where my knowledge is weakest so it requires the most DRIVE energy. It is quite a monster for me & was growing larger ✅ (reframe) before I thought about what would be easy and hard to do,. I realized I was letting this monster color my view of my whole plan. It’s a longer path but my desire for creating training with the most impact pushes me forward. I like simple but need to address the issue of critical thinking training/learning in one domain not transferring to another domain. I do not know which or if any method I add will work so think training in critical thinking in multiple domains needs to be the nature of the training. Organizing myself takes more effort with a new big plan with a monster in it, but LinkedIn has been helpful in this regard as it is an efficient way to learn and to gain knowledge about where how to learn more. I think it is awesome veterans have this amazing culture to help veterans. I do think no one community will have what is needed to be your best. Exploring interdisciplinary relationships has moved a lot of stuck science forward. Key pathology roadblocks have been removed by immunology technique advances. Neuroimaging genetics has show what a tiny genetic difference can make in functional brain activation, which in some studies is relevant to schizophrenia. ✅Those relationships are best built over a weekly cup of coffee. Both parties have a lot of educating to do. Chance meetings or one person wondering if something not described before would be worth exploring. (personality) An uncle of mine with great social skills used to roam factories and see what problems and solutions were present in each factory. He solved problems by posing solutions and buying the item for the solution from one factory and selling it to the factory needing the solution for a pretty good profit. He was joy and so much fun, he must have been welcome in any factory. He could make anybody laugh!

Great thoughts sir. I hadn’t thought of it so binary. So the real question is - “Am I going to be satisfied with being good, say top 10-15% instead of excellent and top 1-2%?” I

This is a great perspective. Thanks for sharing. There are no perfect solutions, but we can get close if we work consistently at something. Semper Fi

Amen brother

Thanks, Scott! Great advice. I watched this video before my interview. It went well!

This is spot on. I’ve been all over the place and need to get my life together.

Great video Scott! It’s a mindset. You’ve done the work, you’ll be number 1. Great advice.

This book should be a fundamental read for many in tech - not just innovators, entrepreneurs, and visionaries - but also the surrounding and support network...the entire innovation ecosystem, ways to improve entire processes and scaling those lessons learned from Tesla to SpaceX to X. The challenges and difficulties of taking an idea - a vision...and making it into a reality, moving engineers closer to the production line - was incredibly poignant. Insight into the struggle of choices between family, business, and dreams. Powerful. I agree - long book, like +90 chapters...very manageable via Audible on long trips.

Great information! Thanks for the book suggestions as well.

Fantastic video. Thank You so much for sharing your expertise, Sir.

Thank you for the book recommendation. It sounds important to read as an American. I was again impressed that someone who went through multiple losses while enduring many other types of suffering in the military could later rise to the occasion of putting such life experiences into print. My friend Blue Blais (Joseph Louis Blais) did just that too. Blue actually wrote his memoirs about his beyond hellish military experiences shortly after the loss of his life’s brightest light, his wife. His career also involved the raw fear of being a spy and a counter spy. Telling me of the diplomatic aspects of his career seem to elicit a special smile. He fully enjoyed getting to know First Lady Barbara Bush. Blue really has lived multiple lives, but he is quite content now in his 80’s helping those in his path in southern Florida. He is very proud of his wife’s work in Africa. Blue’s home is welcoming, but also a museum to his and his wife’s lives, including paintings by each of them. There one can see the many plaques honoring Blue’s heroism, including one for rescuing many people when an embassy he was at in Africa was bombed. His memory is extremely clear even for his training days. The POW training he got was very tough to read as a friend of his. His book is for sale on Amazon & B&N. He has extra pages he sent me that I can send you if you decide read his book. I do appreciate you already have many long lists of books to read.

The financial struggles of many former President's are not highly documented until Truman, when he was near broke but still had "duties" of public office. This is a great recap Scott.

Eugene Sledge's "With the Old Breed" is a fantastic first-hand account of the fighting in the Pacific Campaign.

The military history crossover I've been waiting for. Have you considered reviewing any other works on military history?

I love using my calendar! I’m lost without it 👊🏼👊🏼 great advice Master Guns

Great review! It will be next on my list. As a Marine Imagery Analyst, I unwittingly discovered many of the findings you brought to attention from your review. My community often “soda straws” into their discipline, but I learned long ago that I must know pieces of all the intelligence disciplines and processes if I want to be a reliable and influential source for my commander beyond GEOINT.
