Episode #466
The National Medal of Honor Museum and Institute exist to inspire, equip, and connect Americans around shared values like courage, integrity, sacrifice, commitment, citizenship, and patriotism.
Courage is catalyzed by competence, confidence, and commitment—tools and identity help bridge the decision-to-action gap.
Battle cries and growth-mindset reframes (e.g., adding "yet," asking "What if it goes right?") help navigate life’s storms before, during, and after, enabling resilience and post‑traumatic growth.
There's a big gap between deciding to do something and actually doing it.
All I know how to do is keep showing up.
What if it goes right?
What does it take to go from ordinary to extraordinary?
In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-minded Man” podcast, I sit down with Dr. Kevin Basik, Chief of Leadership Programs at the National Medal of Honor Institute, to uncover the secrets behind the valor of Medal of Honor recipients and how their habits can skyrocket your success.
Kevin introduces us to the concept of the Medal of Honor and the profound stories of those who’ve received this highest award for valor in combat. These individuals, though everyday individuals, performed extraordinary acts in the face of extreme adversity.
Their stories are not just about military bravery but about the universal values of integrity, courage, sacrifice, and commitment. Kevin’s mission is to inspire and equip us with these values to navigate our own life’s battles.
Kevin also shares powerful battle cries that you can adopt to stay motivated through life’s toughest challenges. Check out the Action Plan for this episode and get your printable copy of these creeds: https://jimharshawjr.com/action
