In this episode of The Keep Chasing Podcast, Brandon sits down with retired Navy SEAL William Branum—a man who spent 26 years in the elite ranks of Naval Special Warfare, serving as a sniper instructor, leading undersea operations, and pushing the limits of human resilience.
But William’s most powerful mission began after leaving the battlefield.
We explore his incredible journey from a small-town kid with big dreams, to enduring the crucible of SEAL training, to confronting the hidden battles of trauma, transition, and recovery. William opens up about how CBD helped him reclaim his mental health, why vulnerability is the ultimate strength, and how he now leads others through his GET NAKED mindset—a five-part framework built on lessons forged in adversity.
Now the founder of Naked Warrior Recovery, William helps veterans, first responders, and business leaders “expose fear,” “kill mediocrity,” and “do the work.” This conversation is a masterclass in discipline, authenticity, and chasing what matters.
🔑 Topics include:
• SEAL mindset and elite performance
• Leadership under pressure
• CBD and the path to healing
• The GET NAKED framework
• Redefining masculinity and mental health
💥 Whether you're chasing your next goal or fighting your own internal war, this episode will leave you fired up and focused.
