🎙️ Welcome to a new episode! I’m excited to share these reality star guests with you.
🟫 From SEAL Team To Dad Team | Featuring Alden Mills and Bryan Ward | Ep. 296
👉 In this powerful episode of the Dad Up Podcast, I’m joined by Alden Mills.
👉 He is a former U.S. Navy SEAL platoon commander, father of four, bestselling author, and #1-ranked virtual speaker by Entrepreneur magazine.
👉 Before embarking on a dangerous mission, Alden wrote a “just-in-case” letter to his children filled with life lessons and values he wanted to pass on.
👉 That heartfelt letter became the foundation for his inspiring book Be Unstoppable, which has sold over 25,000 copies in multiple languages.
👉 Now, in a newly expanded edition releasing July 22, 2025, Alden revitalizes his signature U-PERSIST method with fresh tools to help families build unstoppable habits for life and leadership.
👉 In our conversation, Alden shares the origin story behind Be Unstoppable, unpacks the 8 U-PERSIST actions for lasting success, and offers practical advice for dads who want to raise resilient, purpose-driven kids.
👉 We also explore how the book’s parable-based lessons, inspired by a young sea captain’s first journey, can guide fathers in teaching grit, courage, and self-discipline at home.
👉 Whether you’re leading a team, a business, or your household, this episode will give you the mindset and tools to break cycles, build legacies, and become truly unstoppable for yourself and your children.
