The Ultimate Morning Routine - Special Forces Green Beret Explains Why He Starts His Day at 3:00 AM | Tu Lam

Episode Description from the Publisher

In today's episode, Jordan sits down with Green Beret and Special Forces veteran Tu Lam, the man behind Ronin Tactics, for a rare look inside the daily practice that rebuilt him after war. Tu Lam walks through a five hour morning routine of meditation, breath work, grounding, cold plunges and fasted training, and explains how each piece calms the nervous system and clears the trauma the body holds on to. From a childhood that began as a refugee left for dead at three years old, to the special forces years, to the weight he carried home from the battlefield, Tu Lam opens up about the anger, the anxiety and the numbing that followed him for years. He describes the four year psychedelic journey through Ibogaine and DMT that cracked open memories his analytical mind could never reach, what it meant to face ego death and truly surrender, and how that journey ultimately led him to faith and to Christ. Whether you are drawn to the mindset of a special forces operator, the science of processing trauma, or the search for meaning after a life of chaos, Tu Lam offers a blueprint for surrendering the weight and starting each day with intention.
