If you've ever wondered how elite operators maintain composure when everything's falling apart or how to find deeper purpose beyond simple motivation, this conversation delivers remarkable insights.

All right, everybody, welcome back to the show. I am really excited about this one. This is an individual who's coming on who builds men, and he talks about purpose and can really change your life and has done things that I could only dream of. So first and foremost, welcome to the show.
Charles, I'm honored. Thank you for having me. Appreciate that intro. I was built by a great man. A lot of people look at me and they go like, oh, Navy SEAL. Wow. That's so impressive. One of the first things I like to remind people of, whether it's on a podcast or I'm in front of a small audience or a large audience, and I'll tell them, I say, look, the things that you think of me as a Navy SEAL has nothing to do with me, right? Yes, I did go through their program, of course, but the reputation that the SEALs have, they had it before I ever got there, right? And all I get to do is help uphold that. I get to be a part of it. Really, what you think of Navy SEALs, I didn't make that reputation, but I do get to walk in it. And I take that as a, it's a weight. One of my instructors said, Early on, you know, in SEAL training, he pulled me to the side, pulled a few of us to the side.
And one of the things they would always start kind of all of these like mentorship talks with is they would preface with, in the unlikely event you make it through training, because they're talking, which is like a great way to start every conversation. And the unlikely event that you make it through training, and then they'll give you some wisdom, right? Wisdom for the SEAL teams. And he said, for the rest of your life, this will be a curse. That you're a SEAL. And he didn't mean that in a negative way. A curse usually implies a negative thing. What he meant was, you'll carry this for the rest of your life. And wherever you go, people will compare themselves to you. People will count it as a great victory if they can just beat you in a game of ping pong.
Um, I say that to say, I know where I've come from and I know what's built me. Um, the SEAL teams helped built me and having a great father in my life who spoke into me, who cared for me, who was consistent, who took me everywhere that he went, uh, has helped shaped me into who I am. And so one of the things I'm so passionate about is helping men become not just men, but be great men. I got the opportunity to do that, mentoring students going into the SEAL program. And now that I do that with guys today, helping them deploy into life in their greatest capacity.
