Today on What Got You There Sean talks with Taran Butler. Taran is an American sport shooter and world champion born in California. Growing up Taran was encouraged by his mother to learn shooting and began his shooting career in 1994 after winning a bowling pin match at a local indoor range in the Los Angeles Valley where his love for the sport began. He went on to become the first Glock Grand Master shooter in the history of the sport and has won many other competitions and titles in his career.

In 2011, Butler appeared as a trainer in the second and third season of History Channel’s marksmen competition show, Top Shot. Butler is one of the handful of shooters that appears on Shooting USA's Impossible Shots Butler has also served as a technical adviser on films like Michael Mann’s Public Enemies. Butler currently runs Taran Tactical Innovations. Butler occasionally shoots with wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin, film director James Cameron and actors Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves.

Buckle your seat belts because Taran doesn’t hold anything back in this episode. He tells about the crazy competitions he’s won, friends he’s made a long the way and what it’s like working with A listers in Hollywood. Taran uses a ton of profanity so if you have kids in the car you may want to cover their ears.

Rich Diviney is a retired Navy SEAL commander. In a career spanning more than twenty years, he completed more than thirteen overseas deployments—eleven of which were to Iraq and Afghanistan.

As the officer in charge of training for a specialized command, Diviney spearheaded the creation of a directorate that fused physical, mental, and emotional disciplines. He led his small team to create the first ever “Mind Gym” that helped special operators train their brains to perform faster, longer, and better in all environments—especially high-stress ones.

During his twenty years as a Navy SEAL, Commander Diviney was intimately involved in the world-renowned SEAL selection process, which whittles exceptional candidates down to a small selection of the most elite optimal performers.

He was often surprised by which recruits washed out and which succeeded. Someone could have all the right skills and still fail, while recruits he might have initially dismissed would prove to be top performers.

Through years of observation, Diviney learned to identify a successful recruit's core Attributes, the innate traits for how a person performs as an individual and as part of a team. That same methodology can be used by anyone in their personal or professional lives.

In his book, he details the key Attributes for success-- including cunning, adaptability, even narcissism--are defined in fresh and surprising ways, and Diviney shows how they can be applied to a team as readily as a person.

Understanding your own attributes and those of the people around you can fast-track optimal performance in all areas of your life.

Maria Konnikova is a Harvard and Columbia educated psychologist, author and, in recent years, professional poker player.

Over the last year Maria stepped away from her job and entered into the world of poker to write her new book about poker and the balance of skill and luck in life called The Biggest Bluff.

The Biggest Bluff follows Maria’s immersion in the world of poker, from novice to professional, under the tutelage of one of the greatest players in the game, Erik Seidel.

But this is not a book about poker. It, rather, is an exploration of the role chance plays in our lives, and how we can learn to play our best game even in the face of mounting odds.

How do the skills learned at the poker table translate to the skills required to live a better, more thoughtful and, ultimately, successful life?

The Biggest Bluff isn’t about how to play poker. It’s about how to play the world.
