This week on The Battle Between, we’re joined by a powerhouse of purpose, grit, and transformation—legendary Navy SEAL veteran, speaker, author, and mental conditioning coach, Floyd McClendon Jr.
His journey spans from the South Side of Chicago to global battlefields, boardrooms, and the halls of public office. With 25 years in the U.S. Navy—including 15 as a SEAL—he's faced battles that tested every ounce of resilience, from surviving combat deployments to enduring a life-altering motorcycle accident and the pressures of two U.S. congressional campaigns.
Today, Floyd continues to serve as a city councilman, a student in SMU’s Executive MBA program, and a future law school candidate. He’s also the author of Hard Earned Lessons and Elevate & Empower, with a new solo book dropping in October 2025.
Floyd McLendon Jr consistently shows up with discipline, intention, and unshakable purpose. Buckle up—this story is a battle you won’t want to miss.
"It's not just enough to do it for yourself, we are on this earth to serve."
