Life is weird, messed up, painful and beautiful. Best we start truly living it before we slide into the dark. How many of you have a life plan? 1,5,10,30 years? Where and what do you want to be? Thankful for my friend @jairekrobbins sharing his work with us on life planning during my @ypoglobal forum retreat last year. #entrepreneur #ypo #leadership #lifegoals

Share your best of 2020 so far. Our circumstances

Share your best of 2020 so far. Our circumstances are what we make of it. It has been a challenging but a great year for me. Sold a business that needed selling. Founded a new one with an amazing woman CEO. Sold my first work of fiction to Ballantine books with my writing partner John for one of the largest advances we’ve ever made. Now it’s being considered for series or film rights. Amazing Pandemic romance. Had one of the best summers with my kids and got them all advanced SCUBA 🤿 certified in Puerto Rico. And got to explore the island and all it has to offer with the El Yunque Rain Forrest, secluded beaches, surfing and more. It’s also been a great time to reflect on what’s truly important in life. For me....Amazing Experiences and the being with the right people you love and care about. We are who we hang out with.

Saw this private air strip just north of White Plains when I was zipping around last week. This peeps is definitely living their best aviation pandemic life. King Air on the ramp, private hangar, tie down ramp for friends, own lake and farm for growing food. Anyone know the identifier?! New @wheelsup8760 HQ @greenlit ?

What’s your longest friendship? I am lucky to ha

What’s your longest friendship? I am lucky to have such incredible friends. Eric happens to be one of my longest known friends. 22+years! We were young SEAL students together, went to war together, were sniper instructors together, both decided to end our military careers early....we’ve shared laughter, tears, grief over losing loved ones, and so much more. So glad to reconnect at my home in Puerto Rico and have the opportunity to go deep about life, business, and relationships. Want to go fast travel alone. Want to go far travel with friends. We’ve stuck with each other through the good and the bad. However, I feel like we always have brought out the good in each other. And that’s about all you can wish for in a great friendship. Love you man. Hope to see you soon for some surf and diving. @eric_davis215 #navyseals #friend

Dad camp 2020 was a smash success but I’m sure missing my squad already! This was up in the mountains south of Dorado beach. Amazing swimming hole. So much to see and do in Puerto Rico from diving, kite surfing/surfing, hiking the rain forrest, sailing, fishing and more! Puerto Rico needs to promote itself better. The island has so much to offer with no passport required. #familytime #summercamp #dadcamp

So glad I got to share my love of diving and the ocean with my crew this summer. #familytime #scubalife

Camp Dad Puerto Rico finishing up with the kids al

Camp Dad Puerto Rico finishing up with the kids all getting their advanced SCUBA 🤿 diver certification. They’ve all been to 100 feet at the bottom of the Caribbean and I know Navy SEALs that haven’t hit 100 feet and experienced the rapture of the deep! So proud of these amazing young people and how far we’ve all come as a family....through war, losing a business, divorce and building it all back with a strong modern family foundation. A rebirth of sorts as my friend @kamalravikant writes about in his namesake novel. #familyiseverything

Fearless doesn’t exist. Everyone lives with fear

Fearless doesn’t exist. Everyone lives with fear until they die. Our fear can either propel us forward or drag us down, the choice is always ours. Choose forward. #masteringfearbook Photo credit: @wingnutwick F18 on final to the boat.

I was certified September of 88 as a 12 year old kid who was about to get a crash course in adulthood and confronting many fears as a young scuba 🤿 boat deckhand. Most of which I wrote about in the Red Circle and Mastering Fear. 3000+ dives later, and a stint in the SEAL Teams, and I get to share SCUBA with my mi•ni•mes. Yesterday waiting at the bottom to head out for a reef dive at Culebra island. Amazing dive and we saw a reef shark which is amazing because now the kids know sharks are cool. #masteringfearbook #theredcircle #scuba @paditravel

Incredible day diving Culebra island with my favorite people. #PuertoRico 🇵🇷. #scuba Thanks to @scubadogspr for the great trip and instruction for my crew.

Best Father’s Day gift is having three great kid

Best Father’s Day gift is having three great kids who are kind to others, independent, set goals for themselves with a habit of finishing them. Yesterday they all finished their PADI open water certification. I got to tag along on their last dive with the @gopro. Amazing to see them enjoy the ocean as much as I do. #fathersday #puertorico🇵🇷

As a divorced dad of 3 amazing kids I can tell you

As a divorced dad of 3 amazing kids I can tell you that divorce and co-parenting can be a positive experience if you invest the time and self reflection it takes to put the kids first. My crew live full time with their mom, step dad (great guy) and their two sisters from that marriage. We decided on that arrangement and that it would be best a long time ago for stability. My big block of time with them is during summer and winter breaks. In-between we see each other for special events and birthdays. I always try and invest in experiences, travel and culture with the kiddos. Raising them to be self confident, kind and independent. This summer it’s getting them all SCUBA certified in Puerto Rico so we can explore the underwater reefs together. #family #dadcamp #padi @paditravel @nytparenting @parentingmagazine @oliviacustoms @scubapro

FEAR: MASTER IT to your advantage or let it be you

FEAR: MASTER IT to your advantage or let it be your Master, the choice is yours. “It’s early 2002, just a few months after 9/11, and we are in northern Afghanistan on a search-and-seizure operation, looking for bad guys. We wonder if maybe we just found some. We wonder if maybe some just found us. Now they’re moving closer. Now they’ve surrounded us. A few have hung back by our truck, and there’s nothing in the sweet wide world stopping them from climbing in and driving it away, leaving us stranded with their armed and very pissed off friends. I feel something shifting inside. Certain blood vessels constrict, others dilate. My palms suddenly feel cool, yet moist with sweat. Tiny hairs on the backs of my arms and neck stand at attention. My mouth is dry, my hearing suddenly more acute. I can practically feel the release and surge of epinephrine as my adrenals fire off their liquid torpedoes. Fire one! One’s away, sir! Fire Two! My face doesn’t show it, but in my mind, I smile. I know what this is.
This is fear.
And I’m about to use it.” #masteringfearbook authorsofinstagram

What do you need to let go to live a better life?

What do you need to let go to live a better life?
A friend of mine from the Philippines tells me how they trap monkeys in his country. They dig a hole and place a coconut in there. The monkey reaches into the hole and grabs the coconut, and once he’s grabbed it, his fist is too big to pull back out. He’s trapped. All he has to do is let go of the coconut. But he won’t unclench his fist.
What keeps his fist clenched? Fear—in the monkey’s case, fear of losing his coconut.
What kept Kamal adhered to the poolside wall? What keeps people stuck in dead-end jobs they hate, or even, as in my case, in great jobs that nonetheless are holding them back from something better? What prevents people from taking the risks they need to take in order to achieve the things they dream of achieving? Fear of drowning. Fear of failing. Fear of losing the coconut.
You can achieve great things.
But first you need to let go of the coconut. #masteringfearbook
