#01 - Anton K. Amtrup - Limitations Are Only Perceptions

From law graduate to Danish military officer to MBA student with big dreams, this is the story of Anton K. Amtrup.

In this episode, Konsti and John speak with Anton about finding purpose and taking ownership of your life, the benefits of military training, Anton’s views on future conflicts and warfare, his career ambitions post-MBA and much more.

Key takeaways and highlights from the show:

  1. Show Up & Do the Basics Well: By being consistent, showing up on time and displaying good manners, you’re already better than 80% of the competition.

  2. Limitations Are Only (Self-Imposed) Perceptions: Stretch beyond your perceived boundaries to discover your actual potential.

  3. Build Your Network of “5”: Surround yourself with people who raise your standards. “We are the average of the 5 people with whom we spend the most time” – Jim Rohn

  4. Don’t Forget Mental Hygiene: Therapy and coaching can do the same for the mind as physical training can do for the body.

  5. Ask Better Questions: By actively listening and asking good questions, you can deepen connections and help others more.

  6. Embrace Discomfort: Growth lies at the point where you are most scared of failing, whether that’s in special ops training or pitching a bold business idea.

Enjoy the show!

Officer Amtrup.
