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.
