Full Episode
What's up, everybody? Welcome back. My guest today is Rich Deviney. 20 plus years as a Navy SEAL officer, 13 overseas deployments, 11 of those being between Afghanistan and Iraq, worked his way up through the rank infrastructure, commanding officer of one of the assault squadrons over at Development Group for a time. He talks about all of this, and we talk a little bit about his career as well.
But I tell you what, this conversation, he's an author. Let me add that, by the way, because actually we talked about, I would say, the content of his books more than anything. Two books, Masters of Uncertainty and then The Attributes. We had a fascinating conversation about attributes and skills, which ones determine outcome, why people quit in Bud, how to effectively
attack your goals and be successful where other people are generally not. It was an awesome conversation. I love conversations like this with people from previous background. And it's funny, the outside listener or people outside of the SEAL community often think that we all know each other because it is relatively small, but you really only know the people that work in the building with you.
let alone peripherally the people that maybe work in the next building. So we crossed paths and we're kind of in the same places, but didn't really know each other that well at all. So it was great to sit down, reconnect and talk about what he's got going on. I really enjoyed the conversation about the attributes and skills and problem solving and just successfully completing your goals.
So episode 387 is going to be with Rich Deviney. Give me an interview here. Let me pay the bills so I can keep bringing the podcast to everybody for free. Today's episode is brought to you by Black Rifle Coffee. You guys know the brand. You know I'm tied into the brand. I'm incredibly good friends with the founder, Evan. I own one of the coffee shops up here in Montana.
None of that can benefit you, the listener. But what can is if you go over to www.blackriflecoffee.com. Let's head over there right now. So they're still showing up on their top banner, Operation Neptune Spear. I covered this in the last ad read. That was the official operation name for... The military operation that killed Osama bin Laden.
There's a lot of the word operation that I just used there. Moving on. I mean, but also, who doesn't like an owl with a set of binos on there? Rounds. I tell you what. We sell rounds in the coffee shop, and I am shocked by how many people buy these things.
It's not how I prefer to enjoy coffee, but the feedback I'm getting that rounds are also known as K-cups, they're incredibly convenient, and the recipes keep getting better, meaning how they're putting it together, and the taste of the cup of coffee is basically like right out of a coffee shop. So you can shop those.
All of their beans here on this rotating little banner, this slider bar, you can go all the way from light to extra dark. And you can get shirts, apparel, all of those things. I'll leave you with the energy drinks that are new. They have four flavors. These are also a top seller at the shop. Again, not my particular cup of tea, but people are loving those things.
