Even if you're the greatest UFC fighter on the planet, they still get punched in the face and they don't freak out when they get punched in the face. They don't cry when they get punched in the face. They don't walk out of the ring. That is part of the job description.” “I don't recommend putting yourself in a situation like getting out of the military if you haven't even started your side hustle yet or without getting a job. You need seed money and a primary source of income while you are working your side hustle because there's no pain like financial pain.” “Failure is not an event. It's a lesson, it’s a tool. Learn from your mistakes and learn from those around you.” About Our Guest Noble graduated from West Point and was an Infantry Officer in the 82nd Airborne Division.
