Patagonia Crucible Documentary

Sunday, December 11th, 2016

Self-Reliant Leadership studies the qualities of elite military units to understand the recipe for accelerated team development in all environments – from Patagonia to the boardroom.

Patagonia Crucible Documentary from Jan Rutherford on Vimeo.

In October 2016, a team of Special Operations veterans and business executives completed a 54-mile circumnavigation of Cerro Torre and Mount Fitz Roy in Patagonia, Argentina. During the six-day expedition, the team tested audacity, adaptability, and compassion to determine if team development can be accelerated.

The team found that selflessness, positivity, and curiosity were the key ingredients to a team with an absolute commitment to achieve at an elite level. These conclusions created a “recipe” to develop your own elite teams that gel quickly, gracefully handle changing business conditions, achieve challenging goals, and perform with absolute commitment.

‘Mile Marker Zero’ follows brothers Brian and Mark Stephens as they spearfish for grouper, lionfish, hogfish and barracuda. Once they stow the spear guns, they go from 20-50 feet to 1,000 feet of water to bowfish for mahi mahi and tripletail in the Gulf Stream.

“It`s what we in the business call a mixed-fruit pudding.”

Wednesday, November 9th, 2016

“…fragmentation, grenades…tactical, antitank, antipersonnel…It`s what we in the business call a mixed-fruit pudding.”

The MM-1 Manville Gun made its film debut in 1980s “Dog of War” where it appeared as the XM18E1R. The quote above is from the arms dealer explaining how the weapon should be loaded for combat even though he avoids the question of whether or not he had ever served in combat. Interestingly, the weapon used in the movie looks to be the 12 ga variant which offers several more cylinders than the 26.5mm and 37mm models. Only manufactured from 1935-1943, the Manville Gun never saw widespread use.
