  • Unapologetically American, and an all-around badass - That’s who and what Tim Kennedy is - a true patriot. In this week’s Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Tim have a fascinating conversation about Tim’s military service as an active Special Forces master sergeant and sniper and his role in the most elite counter-terrorism and hostage rescue unit within the U.S. Army Green Berets. Tim holds a black belt in Brazilian jujitsu and is a former professional mixed martial arts fighter and two-time title challenger. He authored the book, Scars and Stripes, an inspirational memoir offering lessons on how to embrace failure and weather storms to unlock the strongest version of yourself. These days, he lives a remarkable life as a serial entrepreneur owning multiple companies. However, Tim’s most personal accomplishments are that of a husband, father, and lover of this country.
    In this episode you will hear:
    When I grew up, all I did was fix the barbed wire and throw Bahia bales.
    You have to be an involved parent and mentor to your child.
    Now, every high school graduate has had every decision made for them. And when they arrive at college, they have been force-fed everything to this point, and now they get fed something much more dangerous - ideas. They’re given the freedom to make their own decisions with those dangerous ideas, and what you have is a petri dish for disaster.
    I want little kids to make all their decisions and learn the consequence of bad decisions, so when they hear someone say something stupid, they’re like, “that doesn’t work.”In Afghanistan they’d “beach ball” babies to the gate with the hopes that some marine would pick them up.
    It’s not rocket science that you don’t move tactical elements before you get your people out. You don’t give up strategic and tactical positions until you’re ready for a proper withdrawal.
    There’s nothing more dangerous than a broken man.
    Jesus didn’t go into the holiest of places. He went to where the prostitutes and tax collectors were.
    I stepped away from God for almost two decades. I became a narcissist. It wasn’t until my marriage was on the rocks that I was convinced to talk to God about all the horrific things I saw & experienced.
    They were throwing money at me to get people out of Afghanistan. That was so wrong in my heart to go back there for the money.
    In ten days we evacuated 12,000 people with our own planes.

    I have 3 boys (all drop-outs) The oldest (“book smart”) dropped out of 10th grade.
    The younger two were 7th and 8th grade dropouts.
    The 10th grader wasted no time taking the GED and enrolled in college(skipping 2years if high school)
    My 7th and 8th graders ere both visual learners therefore focused all their attention on their passions instead of learning subjects that had very little to do with the environment I created for them to explore and guide them on their path to finding that passion! They both had their own business es up and running by age 16yrs old. 26:27

    When Tim talked about his dad sneaking into meth labs, it brought back flashbacks of my dad. He was a Federal Agent that used to sneak into marijuana patches and put-up cameras to catch people growing marijuana. He was killed in a helicopter crash when I was 9. He would lay in marijuana patches in camo and guys would walk within a foot of him and never see him.

    So my kids attend an elite private school, but it has a semi-complex acceptance process. The prospective family must be involved, they need to share values, they need to socialize with the other families, and they have to have a written recommendation from a family who attends the school. This helps weed out the families who won’t fit or share the common vision, volunteer and participate to keep the students and the school moving forward in a meaningful way.

That same infection can be the reason the whole body dies. As well, if the body isnt in alignment with the head, when a blessing pours over the head, the body not in alignment will miss out on the blessing.
