Tim Kennedy - Protector By Nature | Essential 11 Ep. 86

Acton Academy has a term that they use to identify the true leaders among the group, the ones who are making big things happen, and are actively supporting fellow students' success- we call them sheepdogs. When we had the idea for Apogee, before it had its name, we wanted this new program to specifically cultivate sheepdogs, not just men who follow the herd, but men who go above and beyond to be the ultimate gentleman, the ultimate savages, and ultimate leaders who are making waves in today's culture. And who better to team up with to accomplish this massive mission than the founder of Sheepdog Response himself?

Today's guest is Tim Kennedy, a Green Beret, Special Forces Sniper, former top 5 UFC Middleweight, and now, co-founder of Apogee Strong and founder of an Acton Academy in Austin, Texas. We cover the Essential 11 questions while getting into just how important resilience is and being able to display an ongoing track-record of resilience to create bigger opportunities for yourself.

Other things covered include:

- Tim opening his own Acton Academy
- Building leaders with strong characters is better for society than creating kids who get good grades
- Tim's divinely created panel of mentors
- The need for parents need to stop metaphorically wrapping their children in bubble wrap
- The true value of delayed gratification
- Polished resume's are out, experience is in
- "Smarter not harder" is absolutely false
