Скачать или смотреть Words of the Wise Podcast: Chief Adam Geissenberger — Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable

Chief Geissenberger urges new officers to break free from comfort and complacency. He shares a personal pact he made early in his career: never live with regret. That mindset pushed him into unfamiliar roles, new challenges, and opportunities others might have avoided out of fear or peer pressure. His point is sharp—your peers don’t pay your bills, and they don’t live your life. Your growth is your responsibility.
He encourages officers to chase education, try new assignments, and accept that failure is part of the process. In his eyes, doing “a little bit of everything” didn’t make him unfocused—it made him one of the most well-rounded leaders in his organization. The real measure of success isn’t how many times you fall, but whether you keep getting up. His message is a call to push your limits, honor your why, and step boldly into the unknown.
