216: Locked and Loaded 24 Hours in a Box - Brian "Tosh" Chontosh

216: Locked and Loaded 24 Hours in a Box - Brian "Tosh" Chontosh

Imagine 24 hours locked in isolation in a completely dark shipping container competing to see who can run the furthest on a TrueForm treadmill. Retired United States Marine, Major Brian Chontosh (aka "Tosh") and three others (John Witzing, Josh Chessman, and Isaiah Vidal ) accepted this challenge to raise awareness around mental health with the Whiteboard Project's LL24h ( https://www.thewhiteboardproject.com/24-hours-of-isolation ). The recipient of one of the highest military honors: the Naval Cross- Tosh, has shown unmatched fortitude in combat and combating the stigmas around post traumatic stress. Jump in the shipping container with us as we learn how to "suck a little less each day."

In this episode, Joe Desena interviews Tosh before he enters the shipping container, and then all 4 athletes the moment the box is unsealed.



Lessons:

  • You are what you advertise
  • Do a lot with very little
  • Surround yourself with great people
  • Want "in" on the hardest things
  • Do things you don't want to do
  • Identify your limits and expand your horizons
  • Prove things to yourself, know your limits & strive beyond them
  • Measure your effort, but against the right things
  • Always do the BEST that you can in EVERY moment
  • PTS vs PTSD: traumatic stress as a normal reaction vs a disorder
  • Don't believe your own bullsh*t
  • Walk humbly, absorb, think, question..
  • it's not about having the right answers - it's about having the right questions
  • Take ownership - kill the excuses !
  • Rationalizations are just excuses in a fancy package
  • Break down big problems to small problems & utilize small solutions
  • Stay process oriented
  • Focus on the task at hand and that will lead you to the target
  • JUST BE HAPPY WITH YOU
  • Suck less today then you did yesterday :)
