Ever speak to a Zen master? This week’s guest may be as close as I’ve come so far, although it may not be apparent by description alone. Jeff Depatie is a retired tier one special forces sniper who has survived and thrived in the harshest environments on the planet. From just what we can know as civilians about his certifications and experience, Jeff has ticked off about every “manly” thing you could list. But as you’ll hear in this episode, Jeff has been studying much more than that and is thinking much bigger, much deeper. He’s on a mission in service to the greater good of humanity.
“Understand the power of suffering as transcendence on the physical and mental planes”
– Jeff Depatie
You’ll learn about The Process, run once per year for a select group of men to experience the ultimate in adventure, personal growth, and the challenge of a lifetime.

As well as the Robust Human Summit coming soon to address how to survive AND thrive in the wilderness or after a pandemic like the COVID-19 coronavirus.
