004: Working Smarter Not Harder with David Sears

This week, Jon Murchison, Blackpoint CEO, has a great chat with David Sears, former commander of the U.S. Navy SEALS. Sears has twenty-plus years of tactical and strategic knowledge in how to grow and keep a cohesive and strong team. Listeners may also recognize Dave for frequently appearing on a variety of news programs as a national security commentator. Dave talks about what people can learn from high performance and leadership with the SEAL Teams and apply it to business and the corporate world. Jon and Dave also discuss how the mark of a high performer is how they deal with adversity, and how we can relate that to the cybersecurity and outside business world to rise above and learn from our challenges. Dave reminds us to recognize that there are people and teams behind our numbers and that it’s not just always about the bottom line, and why it’s crucial to be a good generalist and work the muscle of every component within your industry.
