What can a Navy SEAL teach us about leadership, resilience, and building a mission-driven business?
In this episode of Diehard Entrepreneur Stories, I sit down with Ty Smith, retired Navy SEAL and CEO of CommSafe AI, to talk about his remarkable journey from the streets of East St. Louis to leading cutting-edge companies and coaching others to reach their full potential.
Ty shares the mindset shifts that carried him through the SEAL Teams and into entrepreneurship—from embracing humility in leadership to the power of effective communication, adaptability, and service.
We dig into his philosophy of surrendering to a higher purpose, how faith and gratitude shaped his path, and the mission behind Hiro Consulting: empowering people to recognize their own leadership potential.
If you’re an entrepreneur, leader, or anyone navigating tough challenges, Ty’s story is a masterclass in resilience, transformation, and building something that truly serves others.
I’m on a MISSION to help entrepreneurs build strong, successful businesses.
