In This Episode You Will Hear: • It's not as hard as you think it is. Just put in more effort. (2:00) • I was always like a people pleaser. I still am. That's what I'm working on right now. I'm trying not to be. (4:50) • If you fail, it's attempt. Instead of being demoralized, instead of being embarrassed or frustrated or depressed, turn that energy into something better. Fire in the gut. (14:06) • We had guys tried to fake hypothermia during BUDS, till they broke the thermometer out, and check the dudes right in front of all of us. (25:37) • We went out for surf torture. The waves were so big, and there was such a shore break, it picked us all up, slammed the whole class. One guy was like a lawn dart – broke his neck. (26:29) • They put the [hypothermia] guy up on the wall, pulled his pants down, took the core temperature thermometer – right in front of God and everybody. [It was rectal] They need to know what your core is – to see if you're actually hyporthermal.  (27:32) • [Marcus] I've seen guys quit over trying to put a dive sock on. (32:38) • When you first get out of the military, you're too close to it to think you're a veteran. (37:47) • I've always tried to help veterans. (39:38) • The impression is that it's a Naval Special Warfare Museum with Michael {Murphy's] name on it. (47:33) • I'm so tired of people pushing down awesomeness. Everybody doesn't have to be the same. (49:52) • The [wheelchair bound] kid said he wanted to do the Michael Murphy run around the lake. So, I said I'll push you. I didn't realize how heavy he was. I thought Long Island was kinda flat. It's not. I'm sweating. It's 100 degrees. I'm terrified that I'm gonna lose him down a hill. (54:19) • [Marcus] I've never run across a Team guy who was depressed the minute you get him back in the fold.

Green Berets are America's best problem solvers. There's no challenge too great and no solution that cannot be found. This mentality exists in service and beyond. Ben Harrow solved complex challenges as a West Point Lacrosse star, leading soldiers in Iraq, and as he joined Special Forces to be a Green Beret in the Army. Today he's the President of PAM Jets solving aviation's largest logistical problems. But the biggest challenge Ben ever faced was when he stepped on a land mine. Ben is a double amputee who nearly lost his life in Afghanistan. From the sidelines of the 2024 Stars and Stripes Classic, the first ever lacrosse battle between Green Berets and Navy SEALs, Ben joined Fran Racioppi to share his story. After months of surgery and being told he would never walk again, he took his recovery into his own hands. Ben explains the meticulous research he conducted, the doctors he challenged and the method he developed to ensure he would walk and move on with life. He explains his resiliency mindset, how he applied it to becoming a Green Beret, solving his recovery challenge and how it drives him in entrepreneurship today.Most importantly, Ben shows us that there's nothing special about being Special Forces, you just have to want it more than anyone else.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Think you've cracked the code to trading? Think again. This video dives deep into the dangerous illusion of the “perfect” system—and why chasing 100% win rates is a trap that can cost you everything. If you're tired of hype and ready to develop real skill, discipline, and data-backed strategies, this one's for you.Inside this powerful lesson from OVTLYR University, we break down what actually works in trading. You'll learn why perfection isn't the goal—and why the smartest traders focus on expectancy, risk management, and consistent execution. Forget about “buying the dip” or chasing every hot ticker. This is about building a process that thrives even when the market throws curveballs.We'll cover real insights from pro traders who've worked with Navy SEALs and Olympic athletes. You'll hear how the same precision used by elite shooters applies directly to trading—where the outcome is unpredictable, but the process can be perfected. This mindset shift alone could be the most valuable thing you take away today.We also pull back the curtain on some serious research. Over 80 trades have been analyzed, and we reveal how incorporating a previously overlooked dataset into OVTLYR has 2.5x'ed our expectancy. It's not about finding magic indicators—it's about testing, refining, and expanding your statistical edge. You'll see how market breadth indicators and sector trend data, when used properly, can tilt the odds in your favor… but never guarantee a win.There's a reason top traders survive and thrive: they bake losses into their plan. In this session, we emphasize how to survive drawdowns, emotionally and financially. You'll learn how overconfidence leads to blown accounts—even for Nobel Prize winners. And you'll see how to use Monte Carlo simulations, outcome math, and simple coin-flip analogies to understand probability and outcome distribution like a true pro.This isn't some motivational fluff. It's practical, real-world trading psychology mixed with analytical firepower. Whether you're sitting on a losing streak or thinking you've found the holy grail, this video brings you back to center. You'll see why “cash is a trade,” how to recalibrate when things go sideways, and how rehearsing your execution—like elite athletes do—can eliminate panic and FOMO.For traders who want to win sustainably and not just chase dopamine hits, this is your blueprint.

This week we sit down with David Packouz—former arms dealer, the real story behind War Dogs. He breaks down how he landed huge U.S. defense contracts in his twenties, what the movie nailed, what it didn't, and the parts Hollywood skipped.

After this, you won't see the film—or that industry—the same way. #sponsored Fareway Stock up with a custom steak box or grab a grill-ready bundle —either way, you're getting the best.

In his sermon, Pastor Davey reflects on Galatians 5, emphasizing that good fruit emerges from a healthy soul. Using the fruit of gentleness as a focal point, Pastor Davey candidly shares his own struggles with this concept, illustrating how gentleness is often perceived as softness rather than strength. Drawing from an inspiring encounter with a Navy SEAL, he reveals that true gentleness, or "proutus," is about strength under submission, akin to a warhorse harnessed for a purpose. 

Jimmy Hatch grew up in the mountains of Utah and joined the service on his seventeenth birthday. After serving four years in the US fleet, Hatch completed SEAL training with Class 164 in 1990, launching him into a twenty-two-year career with the SEAL teams that would take him across the world. Deployed many times, Hatch was involved in over 150 direct action missions in all the places you've heard about and a few you haven't. His military career ended in 2009, when he was severely injured on his final mission. His life was saved by his teammates and the working dog on his team, marking the beginning of a long and challenging recovery. Following eighteen surgeries, Hatch left the hospital facing a new battle with mental health struggles. Determined to find purpose beyond his own struggles, he founded Spike's K9 Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the welfare of the nation's working K9s, honoring the loyalty and courage of his own canine comrades. Hatch also co-authored Touching the Dragon: And Other Techniques for Surviving Life's Wars, sharing insights on resilience and recovery. Jimmy has traveled far and wide, giving speeches on his experiences to help others prepare for when life gets tough. In 2019, Hatch embarked on a new journey, studying the humanities at Yale University. He graduated in 2024. Now, he is working on a second book as he works part-time for Yale Admissions and serves as a lecturer at the Jackson School of Global Affairs.

Tate Adamiak, a Navy Master-at-Arms and future SEAL, had his life destroyed when the ATF reclassified common surplus gun parts as illegal and used that to justify a full-blown takedown. No illegal guns. No violent crime. Just a hobbyist, railroaded by a rogue agency pushing a political agenda. Joe LaPorto from the Civil Liberties Policy Research Center joins us to explain what really happened, why this case matters to every law-abiding gun owner in America, and what we can do to fight back.

In this short micro dose episode, we explore the specialized qualities required for different SEAL Team missions. Our guest, retired Navy SEAL Commander Rich Diviney, shares his fascination with the unique attributes needed for high-stakes operations like combat diving and hostage rescue—emphasizing how patience, adaptability, and mental agility are mission-critical. Listen to full episode here: https://pod.fo/e/28e08fDrawing from hundreds of real-world missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, Rich unpacks the true purpose behind SEAL training—not to teach specific skills, but to reveal the core attributes required to perform under extreme pressure. Whether underwater for long durations or making life-or-death decisions in seconds, SEALs succeed not just because of what they know, but because of who they are.Rich's insights extend beyond the military. He shows how this same philosophy—prioritizing attributes over skills—can transform leadership and team performance in any environment.Key Takeaways:Different SEAL missions require distinct personal qualities.Training is designed to reveal these attributes, not just build skills.The best teams are built on character, not credentials.This mindset applies equally in business and leadership.Specific Missions in the SEAL Teams Require Specific QualitiesSuccess in SEAL missions depends on the unique attributes of each team member—not just their technical skills. This distinction is critical for maintaining adaptability in dynamic, high-risk environments.Attributes Over SkillsEach mission demands specific traits. Combat diving requires deep patience; hostage rescue calls for rapid decision-making and agility. Someone who thrives in slow, methodical tasks might falter in a high-speed crisis—but they'd excel when endurance and calm are key. Recognizing these differences is central to building the right team for the mission.Real-World ExamplesRich Diviney shares a story from 2010, reflecting on his experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. SEAL training includes grueling exercises—carrying boats, lifting logs—not because those skills are directly used in combat, but because they create pressure. The goal isn't just physical fitness—it's to surface traits like grit, teamwork, composure, and resilience.The Story of the Non-SwimmerRich tells the story of a SEAL candidate who couldn't swim. On the swim test, he jumped in, sank to the bottom, and walked across the pool. When asked what happened, he admitted he didn't know how to swim. But the instructor didn't dismiss him. Instead, recognizing the young man's determination and resolve, he said, “That's okay—we can teach you how to swim.”That moment illustrates a core principle: if someone has the right attributes—grit, tenacity, humility—you can teach them the technical parts. But the reverse isn't always true.From Military to BusinessAfter retiring, Rich noticed that organizations often overvalue hard skills while struggling to define or develop the deeper qualities that drive performance. Terms like “soft skills” don't do justice to traits like emotional control, adaptability, and drive. Focusing on attributes gives companies a more accurate view of who will thrive, grow, and lead effectively.ConclusionThe highest-performing SEAL teams aren't built on resumes. They're built on character. That same principle holds true in every high-performance setting. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

If you've ever struggled with chronic stress, poor sleep, anxiety, or burnout—this episode might just change your life. I'm sitting down with Jim Poole, CEO of NuCalm, to explore the groundbreaking neuroacoustic technology that's helping thousands of people around the world reset their nervous systems—without drugs or side effects.Jim explains how NuCalm works at the intersection of physics, mathematics, and neurobiology, using patented algorithms and biosignal processing to guide the brain into states of deep relaxation. We get into how it's used to decelerate brainwave frequencies, balance the autonomic nervous system, and bring the body back into homeostasis. This is next-level nervous system hygiene, backed by clinical research and used by elite athletes, CEOs, Navy SEALs, and trauma survivors alike.We also talk about the physiological mechanics of stress, the importance of vagus nerve stimulation, and why breathwork, cold plunges, and psychedelics often fail to address the chronic baseline tension most of us live with. Jim shares insights on trauma recovery, why traditional talk therapy can fall short, and how we can retrain the brain to unlearn suffering.This conversation was incredibly eye-opening.

This week we spoke with the International Spy Museum's Executive Director, Colonel Chris Costa. His decades-long career in the intelligence community spanned multiple continents, running sensitive operations in Panama, Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, where he earned two Bronze stars for his human intelligence contributions. Later, Costa advised Navy Seals as a civilian and eventually assumed the role of Executive Director here at the International Spy Museum. In this interview, we zeroed in on 2017 when he was detailed to the White House as the Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism.

In this episode, Bear and Tony dive deep into the inner journey of personal growth, fulfillment, and self-awareness, reflecting on the gap between external success and internal alignment. Bear talks about how hitting major milestones—becoming a Division I athlete, a Navy SEAL, building a successful business—often doesn't bring the lasting joy we expect, because the mind quickly normalizes achievements and looks to the next thing. Tony explores the importance of tuning into intuition over outsourcing decisions to others, recognizing and correcting internal incongruities (like drinking out of social pressure), and learning to extract joy from the present instead of chasing external validation. Psychedelics, meditation, and real conversations helped them clear internal “static” to reconnect with what truly matters: being present, being intentional, and showing up as good fathers, leaders, and men—not for accolades, but for alignment with a deeper sense of purpose. On the business side, they touch on the power of clarity, cutting distractions, and saying "no" more often to stay focused on what really moves the needle.To check out our brand visit: https://bornprimitive.com/And you can  learn more about Born Primitive Tactical by visiting: https://bornprimitivetactical.comFollow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/bornprimitive/Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCruGgs2p3VVVy-v6YTiKuQwPRODUCED BY IRONCLAD

Dr. Herbert's career spans from leading undersea special operations to teaching future naval officers at the U.S. Naval Academy. We explore Dr. Herbert's remarkable journey marked by leadership, ethics, and profound moral challenges. Dr. Herbert shares stories of combat, personal transformation, and the vital importance of principled leadership—even under the most extreme conditions. --- What We Discuss: * The intense process of becoming and leading Navy SEALs * How war can spark deep ethical reflection and personal evolution * What moral leadership looks like in combat zones—and classrooms * Why teaching ethics to future military leaders is more important than ever * How pivotal life decisions can stem from unexpected, even humorous, moments --- Featured Quotes: “The secret sauce of being a SEAL is learning how far you can really go—and it's always further than you think.” – Dr. Roger Herbert “We push candidates to what they *think* is their limit… and then some crazy few keep going. That's where we find the SEALs.” “Ethics isn't just theory—it's what helps you come home with honor.” “We don't swear loyalty to a person. We swear to a document.

She started volunteering for military families to help them as they had new babies, and assisted with childcare when they were not close to family.Currently her kids are almost college bound and still playing soccer.

But by complaining and being negative, you are not helping the situation in any way whatsoever." - Jason RedmanImagine coming home from combat in a wheelchair, with metal hardware holding your body together, breathing through a trach tube for over seven months, and having your wife grind up your food so you can eat through a stomach tube. Most people would crumble under that weight. Jason Redman, a former Navy SEAL, made a different choice. Instead of wallowing in what happened to him, he put up a sign outside his hospital room that changed everything - not just for him, but for everyone around him. That single decision to reject victim mentality became the foundation for a recovery that defied every medical expectation and transformed how his family, friends, and fellow warriors saw what was possible in their darkest moments.What Jason shares about the SEAL mindset goes far beyond military training - it's a blueprint for anyone who feels stuck or overwhelmed by life's challenges. He reveals how SEALs use "muscle memory" principles to build unshakeable discipline, why they train for scenarios even worse than the worst-case situation, and how the simple "crawl, walk, run" approach can help you accomplish goals that feel impossible right now. This isn't about becoming tougher or pushing through pain - it's about understanding that leadership starts with how you lead yourself, especially when everything falls apart.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Text Our Show HostsTonight, we're talking with Special Guest and long-time bunker member Joe Burger, from Florida, about physical fitness and the importance of getting into better shape as a Prepper Survivalist. Joe will hopefully become a regular guest on TOPS Bunker as our personal trainer of sorts, to coach us into shape as part of our preparedness training. He's with us tonight to break down what real functional fitness looks like, why your health is your greatest asset as a Prepper, and how to build a body that can outrun zombies, fight off marauders, and rebuild our civilization, if it comes to that.Now I'll admit, I'm not in the best shape right now, not even close, so I'm kind of looking forward to getting some insights and advice from Joe about fitness and health that I can start implementing right way.Joe's message is simple… Your body IS your most important Prep.It's about resilience and perseverance, and that starts with you. Not your gear, not your gadgets… you. The way you train. The way you eat. The way you move, rest, recover, and repeat.You don't have to be a Navy SEAL. You don't have to run ultramarathons. But you do have to be honest with yourself.Can you carry your own weight? Can you move when it matters? Can you take care of yourself and the people you love when there's no help coming?Every push-up, every healthy meal, every drop of sweat… it all stacks up. And the best part? You don't need permission. You don't need a perfect plan.You just need to start moving.Keep in mind… We don't have to be in great shape… just better shape.

When I asked Bert Sorin who I should talk to out of hundreds of top-tier professionals, he didn't hesitate with Jacob's name. What followed was one of the most eye-opening conversations I've had, uncovering how Jacob's winding path—from business consulting to strength and conditioning to PT school—ultimately led him to Virginia High Performance, where he's now helping Navy SEALs and special operators heal and rebuild their lives. His insights on proximity, service, and scaling healing had me leaning in from start to finish. Jacob shares how he's learned to walk in the gray area between performance and recovery—physically, emotionally, and psychologically—and what it really means to serve others at the highest level. We dug into how trauma and sacrifice shape human performance, the challenges of working in elite military settings, and what young professionals get wrong when chasing a similar path. If you've ever wondered how to truly develop your personal potential and make a lasting impact, this conversation will absolutely make you think twice about what you're doing today and where you're headed tomorrow. Big thanks to podcast sponsors, Sorinex and EliteForm, for making these episodes possible.

Every man is different. Some men are intense and need to learn how to pull back on the reigns. Others are passive and need to learn how to crack the whip. My guest today, former Navy SEAL and French Foreign Legionnaire is a man who more closely resonates with the former but understands the implications of both. Today, Taylor and I talk about how and why men self-sabotage themselves, the importance of internal vs. external validation, how a “Battle Rhythm” helps a man maximize his performance, why success doesn't “flash,” it “glows,” and why every man is searching for inner peace and clarity.

seven commitments outlined in his book, Staring Down The Wolf—--alignment. Throughout the episode, Mark peels back the layers of what alignment really means on the battlefield, in life, and in business.    Mark demonstrates how elite teams thrive when they are radically transparent, relentlessly communicative, and connected to a shared vision. He highlights real-life stories from SEAL team leaders and methods such as daily huddles that break down silos and speed up innovation and execution.    Along the way, Mark makes clear that alignment is about far more than just meetings or sharing information. It's about cultivating an environment where vulnerability is encouraged—-where every team member has the courage to communicate openly, rally around the mission, and keep themselves radically aligned for success.     Key Takeaways:  Relentless, Transparent Communication: Alignment can't come without honest and open communication. Open information sharing and the sharing of visions, challenges, and where support is needed accelerate team trust and execution.    Focus Amidst Information Overload: Recognize that while staying informed is crucial, true alignment comes from narrowing one's focus. It's important to ask: does this align with the team's vision?    Maximize Sharing: Expertise, resources, and information should all be shared openly within one's team. Hoarding knowledge can only hurt alignment and trust.   The Importance of Self-Reflection: Discover how regularly reflecting on one's alignment, focus, and potential distractions help teams and leaders stay true to their goals.   Mark Divine is a former Navy SEAL Commander, entrepreneur, and NYT Bestselling author with PhD in Global Leadership and Change who has dedicated his life to unlocking human potential through integrated training in mental toughness, leadership, and physical readiness.

Ryan Zinke is a fifth generation Montanan who serves as Representative for Montana's First Congressional District covering 16 counties in western Montana including the cities of Bozeman, Butte, Missoula, Kalispell. First elected to Congress in 2014, and serving as U.S. Secretary of the Interior between noncontiguous terms, Zinke has built a track record of accomplishments in energy, conservation, tribal and military issues. Now in his third term, Zinke is a member of the House Committee on Appropriations, focusing his legislative agenda on restoring accountability to federal spending, restoring American energy dominance, and bolstering national security at our borders and beyond. Ryan began public service in 1985 when he joined the U.S. Navy and graduated from Officer Candidate School. He was recruited to join the U.S. Navy SEALs where he went on dozens of deployments targeting terrorist cells in Asia, war criminals in Bosnia, and combatting the rise of radical Islamic terrorists in the middle east. During his military career he held a number of leadership positions including as Ground Forces and Task Force commander at SEAL Teams SIX oversaw the U.S. Navy SEAL BUD/S training after 9/11, and was Deputy/Acting Commander of Joint Special Forces during the Iraq war. In 2006 he was awarded the Bronze Star for his service. Commander Zinke retired from active duty in 2008 after serving for 23 years. Following his military service, Ryan was elected to the Montana State Senate and was twice elected as Montana's sole member of the U.S. House of Representatives. During his first two terms as Congressman, Zinke served on the House Armed Services Committee and Natural Resources Committee. As a leading member of the Natural Resources Committee, Ryan challenged the Obama Administration on their policies that locked Montanans out of public lands and introduced legislation to strengthen public access and conservation. In December 2016, Congressman Zinke was nominated to be the United States Secretary of the Interior by President Donald J. Trump and later confirmed by a bipartisan vote in the Senate.
