In this episode of The Sales Gravy Podcast, host Brad Adams interviews Stephen Drum, a retired Navy SEAL Master Chief, renowned keynote speaker, and author. Drum shares his unique insights on leadership, team building, and performance under pressure, drawing from his extensive military experience and his work as the co-creator of the US Navy Warrior Toughness program. Key Takeaways: – Agility in sales involves being prepared to pivot and adjust based on the situation and the customer's needs. – Effective salespeople assess the context before presenting their offerings to ensure it is the right moment. – Reflection on experiences is crucial for continuous improvement and learning in a corporate setting. – Establishing a framework for learning allows for efficient integration of lessons into future interactions. – Simplifying complex processes into frameworks, like commit, prepare, execute, and reflect, aids in clarity and focus. – Receiving feedback from clients can provide insights into the impact of sales efforts on individuals and organizations. – Building rapport and human connections is fundamental to effective sales and teaching. – Embracing nervousness before speaking can indicate a serious commitment to delivering quality presentations. – Transitioning from professional to personal life requires conscious effort to maintain focus and presence. – Utilizing mental skills, such as mindfulness and breathing exercises, can help reset focus and reduce anxiety before critical interactions. – After every engagement, analyzing what contributed to success or failure informs better preparation for future opportunities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNpE70uu_v4 Understanding Agility in Sales In sales, the ability to adapt and respond effectively to various situations is crucial. Agility and intentionality are two key components that can lead to success. Sales professionals who enter a meeting with a flexible mindset are better equipped to understand their potential customers' needs and respond accordingly. When a salesperson walks into a room, they must remain aware of their surroundings. What's happening in the customer's life? Instead of diving straight into a pitch about products or services, it's essential to gauge whether the timing is right. Should the salesperson make adjustments based on the customer's mood or current circumstances? Being aware of these nuances can greatly influence the outcome of the conversation. The Importance of Reflection Salespeople should aim to reflect on their experiences regularly. Reflection allows individuals to learn from their successes and failures, and it's an aspect often overlooked in corporate environments. Many companies dismiss the need for reflection, claiming they don't have time for it. However, taking a moment to analyze what went well and what could have been improved can yield significant benefits. It's not just about celebrating victories; it's about understanding the lessons learned, what worked well, and how can it be replicated. Conversely, what went wrong, and how can adjustments be made. Simplifying Processes with a Framework One effective approach is to simplify processes into a framework that's easy to follow. A powerful framework to consider is: commit, prepare, execute, and reflect. Simplifying these steps helps sales professionals remain focused and intentional in their approach. The importance of being intentional in sales cannot be overstated. Intentionality drives the actions that lead to meaningful interactions with customers. The Impact of Feedback Feedback from clients serves as a vital tool for understanding the impact of one's efforts. Often, during engagements, comments received can be gratifying and affirm the effectiveness of a presentation. However, it's essential to recognize that such positive feedback shouldn't be taken for granted. While it feels good to receive praise,

The Lazy CEO Podcast guest on this episode is Stephen Drum. Stephen is a 27-year, Navy Seal retired combat vet and he now speaks on leadership, some of the lessons that they learned and developed through his many years of leading people through dangerous, high-stress, mission-critical, environments, which we can all learn a lot from as we run our business. Here is a little bit of the conversation between Jim Schleckser, CEO of The CEO Project, and Stephen Drum. Jim: What is warrior toughness? How do you measure it? As CEOs we would really like to figure out when we hire somebody when the fire starts, are they going to run to the fire or away from the fire? What is toughness? Stephen: Well, to set the scene quickly, I'm sitting there, and we have what's called an all-hands call. That's where the whole entire command will sit and either the commander or somebody from outside will come in. So we're doing an all-hands call in the chapel, which is the biggest place where everybody can all sit. And the chief of naval operations, who is the head admiral of the Navy, comes in and starts talking about his initiatives. And one of them was toughness. I have the bright idea to stand up and say, sir, how do we define toughness? How are we going to measure it? And how are we actually going to train it? Little did I know that about six months later, I would be locked in a room with a clinical psychologist, and a chaplain and the three of us would be charged with figuring out how to get our sailors tough. There were some things in the fleet that hadn't really been going well. If you think of like the fighting sailors from World War ii, we kind of lost that. And now we have things going on, ships colliding, missiles being fired; we need tougher sailors. And so of course, the first thing was we had to define what it is. And so, we defined toughness in three areas. First, you have to take a punch and keep on going. There's the tactical definition, but also the life definition. So, literally, we're on a ship, friends wounded, comrades are injured, and I have to get back up. I may be personally injured myself and I must get back in the fight. But it also takes a punch in my career. I didn't get that promotion. Maybe a loss of a relationship or loss of a loved one, but I have to get up and move forward. Next, I must perform under pressure, in the clutch. It's one thing to know the skills to say, I've been trained, I've practiced, but can you perform under pressure? Can you regulate those emotions? Can you maintain your calm and your composure? And lastly, the day-in, day-out grind. And that swings both ways. That's a high-tempo operation that we would see in the seal teams, multiple combat operations a night for six months. The grind and the toll that takes both physically, emotionally, and mentally. But then also the other side of that coin, let's say a radar operator on a destroyer in the middle of the ocean, at the end of that six-month deployment, staring at a screen. 99.9% of the time, nothing happens, but people are going die if that person is not locked on in case something does. So, it's having that attention and commitment to that level of engagement for a long, protracted period. Finally, having the fundamental values, and beliefs, and knowing how to take action and behave in a way through principles that support those values and beliefs. Because not only do we need people that recognize this, therefore they can arrive at a higher level of commitment to what we need them to do. But we need our sailors, our warfighters, to be people of character. It's one thing, to accomplish the tactical objective, but we need people to be people of the right character to make good moral and ethical decisions as well. Jim: Can everybody get there? I'll give you an example. I was on a board of a company and, and we had some tough times, like missing numbers, bank covenant violation. The bank was ready to take the keys to the building. It was interesting to watch the performance of the executive team. Some ran toward, like we call it, ran towards the fire, right? They said, how can I help? What can I do? Let me take something on, let me right others. Can everybody be brought to the point that they would run to the fire? Are they born or can they be made? And I always default to decide that yes, people are more predisposed to have certain traits, characteristics and attributes to make them more gregarious, whatever that is. But ultimately, I believe that we can build that even if you tend to be an introvert, you can still do things. For example, I refuse to believe that somebody who's introverted can't go out and be a good sales rep. Stephen: I also believe that you can always be tougher. There must be a level of commitment that says this is important, and I'm going to do everything possible for me to set the table for my success, and for my team's success. You can do your very best, but if you at the end of the day cannot be bought into that concept, then I'm going to have to exit you from my sphere. Jim: And that does happen. We talked about how this applies to the business environment. You could argue the stakes aren't quite as high, but the ideas certainly translate. How do you translate that line of thinking to a business environment and give an example or two of how you've seen it work? Stephen: The concept that I talk about is the X and I think it's important. My book is called Life on the X, but the X goes back to my time in the military. And it's a military doctrine term, but you can think of it as X marks the spot. So if you rope out of a helicopter onto the rooftop of a building, we call that landing on the X. I'm going to line up all my efforts and all my preparations to make sure that I show up, that I can handle curve balls, that I can pivot, that I can adjust, and that I can learn. Every engagement that you make, you must be intentional, whether it's internal to your organization, to your customer, or to your partner. I must make sure that I align the skills, I identify the gaps in my performance so that when I walk in there, I'm calm and composed, but I also have that level of, okay, I'm hovering above, I can make a decision. I'm not too close to the problem. So really it's about regulating your emotions. For more of the conversation between Jim and Steven, listen to the full Podcast. Thank you to our guest...

Jason Gardner is a father, homesteader, leadership instructor, and regenerative agriculture devotee who lives with his family on a remote property in the mountains of northeastern Washington State. Jason is also a retired Navy SEAL Master Chief who spent nearly thirty years in the SEAL teams and is a recipient of the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, a Purple Heart, and numerous other awards. As you’ll hear in our conversation, Jason applies the lessons learned from his years of service toward building a meaningful life for his family in the wilds of Washington-- a life lived with purpose and intention, built on a deep respect for the land. - If Jason sounds familiar, it’s because he’s the husband to Iris Gardner, who was a guest on the podcast just a few weeks ago. Given all of the wisdom that Iris shared regarding parenting and intentional living, and how fondly she spoke of Jason as a father and husband, I thought it would be fun to have Jason join me for a conversation. It was fascinating to hear Jason discuss many of the same topics that Iris and I covered, as he provided a complementary perspective on subjects including parenting, marriage, and thriving as a family in such a remote, wild region of the West. - This was a fantastic conversation, and I can’t thank Jason enough for taking the time to share his wisdom with me. We talked a lot about his military service-- from his decision as a high-schooler to join the SEALs to his long and diverse career as a SEAL leader. We also discuss his life-long love of wild, mountainous places, and why he and Iris have chosen to raise their family in northeastern Washington. We talked about how to find purpose in work, no matter what your chosen career. We discuss the idea of having a warrior’s mentality and how he applies that idea to parenting and his current career as a leadership consultant. Jason explains the dichotomy of being an elite special forces operator and gentle father and husband. And we also talk about regenerative agriculture, the many life lessons he’s learned from training horses, influential music, his favorite books, the best advice he’s ever received, and much more. - There are so many insights and resources packed into this episode, so don’t forget to reference the episode notes for a full list of topics and links to everything we discussed. And if you’d like more insights into Jason and Iris’s life in Washington, you can check out their Youtube channel, which I’ve linked to in the notes.

Navy Seal Command Master Chief Jason Gardner spent 30 years in Seal Teams 3, 5 & 7. With nine deployments to Somalia, The Gulf War, Afghanistan and Iraq he has received a Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, a Purple Heart and five Combat Action Ribbons. Jason Gardner has seen leadership in the most extreme of situations, when it is all on the line. After retirement Jason joined Echelon Front with Jocko Willink and Leif Babin as a leadership instructor and strategic advisor. Jason brings unmatched experience of combat leadership, building winning teams, and knows how to develop relationships across all levels of your company. What was the greatest dichotomy Jason felt as a leader? Jocko made the training in the teams brutally realistic and unpredictable. Does it help in the corporate world and how do we execute that? How do we audit our emotions in our own mind on a daily basis? Jason struggles to be in the moment today yet in a firefight he can. Why is that? What's the most profound learning Jason took from his psychologist about himself? What does own it mean to own it? How does Jason erase the visuals that must come back time and time again of Mosul? Letting our children take chances and seek adventure and keeping them safe from harm. How do we navigate the dichotomy? How has Jason shown up for his wife Iris who has gone through a dark past that left scars? What was a the most valuable thing Jason's Dad, a former Marine, did or said that had the most positive impact on him as a man? What makes a great Commanding Officer? How do we debrief when things have gone really wrong? When a corporate company has a blue on blue, what's Jason's advise to the leader to make effective change? What are some of the most important choice Jason made that has made him who he is today? Whats the greatest character trait Jason would like to see in his kids?

We begin this show with a dedication to a previous guest many of you may remember, a Navy SEAL Master Chief by the name of Ron Bellan. You may know him from his show Survive the Hunt, his company Reaper Outdoors, as well as his appearances on this podcast during episodes 126 and 139. Unfortunately, the massive warrior who sported an eye patch left us this week at 49 from a heart attack. Ron spent over half his life in the military, and we salute his life and service. Our featured guest is a good one. Marc Yablonka has written a great deal about the Vietnam war and is certainly a historian on the subject. His latest piece of work is the book “Vietnam Bao Chi: Warriors of Word and Film,” and as you’ll hear Marc discuss, the book is a first of it’s kind in it’s own right. Much has been written and filmed regarding the Vietnam war, including the stories from journalists who were there and covered it. This book differs however, because it details the accounts of those that actually served for the military as war correspondents both as writers and photographers. Each chapter is an account from a different individual that was there at the time. One of them being a previous guest, Jim Morris. You can see all of Marc’s great work online at his site, WarStoriesPress.com. Pick up the book! Also on this episode we dig into the latest happenings regarding a previous plea deal with convicted pedophile and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. We discuss the large and tangled web of this perverse character and his ties to The Clinton’s as well as President Donald Trump. It’s a messy story to put it mildly.

Most people hope the day will never come when the SWAT team arrives at the door of their business, school, or house of worship. But calling in the Calvary – before they are actually needed – could very well prevent, or at the very least mitigate, the kind of massacre of innocent lives that occurred on October 27th at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, and just last Friday at a yoga studio in Tallahassee, Florida. Tom Czyz is a SWAT team operator and former homicide detective who launched his company, Armoured One, in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School attack in 2012. Joining him in advising business and community leaders on security measures are homeland security active shooter experts, a former Navy Seal Master Chief, a Delta Force team leader, and former FBI and CIA agents. Tom has personally has investigated what happened at more than 50 gun attacks – including the October 1, 2017, Las Vegas mass shooting that killed 58 people and injured more than 850 others. His goal: how to protect more people in the future. As Tom tells host and reputation coach Dean Rotbart, there are steps everyone can take to prepare for the unlikely event of a live shooter at your facility, as well as life-saving instructions to follow if an attack is actually in progress.
