In this special replay episode, I was interviewed by my friend Amin on his podcast Be Well Do Well. We discussed my journey to become a Navy SEAL, some scary moments from combat missions, the difficult transition back to civilian life, and how CBD helped me manage anxiety and stress. I also share my "get naked" mindset philosophy and 5 key principles (NAKED) for thinking like a SEAL.
Key Takeaways:
- It took me 13 months to get through SEAL training due to a mediocre mindset at first. I had to learn to crush the standards, not just meet the bare minimums.
- Leaving the military was one of the hardest missions of my life. I lost my purpose, mission, and team overnight. It took time to rebuild.
- CBD helped me manage anxiety and stress without alcohol. It enabled more positive self-talk.
- The "get naked" mindset is about removing ego and armor to become more vulnerable and find healing.
- The 5 NAKED principles for thinking like a SEAL:
- N = Never Quit. I break big goals down into small victories.
- A = Accept Failure. Failure provides my biggest lessons in life.
- K = Kill Mediocrity. I seek out discomfort and compete in kindness.
- E = Expose My Fears. I do hard things that scare me.
- D = Do the Work. I don't get complacent.
