How a Navy SEAL Stays Calm Under Pressure! Rorke Denver

Adversity doesn’t break you – it builds you! Mercedes and Anastasia sit with Commander Rorke Denver, a former Navy SEAL, and current speaker and bestselling author. Rorke dives into his story of overcoming rejection after initially being denied entry to the Navy SEAL program, and his experiences in the forces. Rorke shares how he views motivation vs discipline (and how we can apply these principles into our lives), the power of a team, how to stay calm under pressure, as well as his hacks to overcome adversity - no matter the situation.
