00:00:00.000 you're doing your job okay and while you're doing your job you know you hear the phrase signal
00:00:06.280 versus noise right focus on the job focus on signal noise what's going on with the family
00:00:10.860 what's going on with the wife what's going on with the kids i'm gone nine months what happened
00:00:13.500 here what are they doing over there what are you doing with to be a seal and and to do what you
00:00:18.500 guys do how do you stay locked in to not allow the noise to rattle you because in that moment
00:00:24.680 while you're supposed to stay focused you're thinking about something else how do you mentally
00:00:28.200 get yourself in a state where you stay focused on the mission
00:00:31.040 you block out the noise it doesn't matter you are 100 committed and locked in but how do you block
00:00:41.480 out the noise you don't communicate like you don't um intimately open up like the emotions
00:00:49.020 are are second to the family everything else is that what they tell you to shape your mindset that
00:00:55.620 way or is that like a cultural thing is that what it takes is that the part of the job i think it it's
00:01:02.720 100 what it takes because if you're not on your game it like the results could be you die you you drop
00:01:09.540 something and and somebody else gets killed for it um the repercussions and results of not being locked
00:01:16.900 in and showing up 100 on your game are deadly and like there's no question about it and the emotion of
00:01:24.320 the patriotism and what you're doing and what you're fighting for um just outweighed it there was
00:01:29.940 nothing but now let me ask you were you like that in high school
00:01:34.720 like were you an athlete in high school did you play sports yeah yeah i was an athlete in high school
00:01:41.360 um and yeah i was definitely in compartmentalization um on the noise to be hyper competitive and perform at a
00:01:50.600 super high level it took discipline and dedication um and wherever you wanted to take it and i wanted
00:01:57.120 to take it as far as i could i guess my question becomes my question is do they recruit guys who
00:02:03.580 are already like that or do you come in and after you make it through bud the training everything that
00:02:09.940 they have then you become this person which one is it is it finding the person and identifying i said
00:02:15.380 this guy has what it takes or is it no we're going to shape your mindset into this i think
00:02:20.800 i think you find that person
00:02:23.520 just in the initial process it's so hard to get in the buds it's so hard to make it through that selection
00:02:30.280 you're already a little bit selfish anyway you have to be in order to just prepare to go to buds you
00:02:34.800 really have to live in isolation and then it's not really a team sport i know it is but going through selection
00:02:40.380 it's individual performance you have to be able to perform the entire way and anything that is a
00:02:45.020 distraction you just naturally block it out you just have to you roll an ankle you get this you
00:02:49.060 get an injury you just override and just keep going and you do that it becomes your routine if you don't
00:02:54.780 like the way things are going you just block it out if you have you ever been on a mission where one
00:02:58.060 of your peers maybe was getting distracted and allowing the noise to get to them how did the team
00:03:04.540 handle it when someone went there becomes a big issue they remove you like it's very common if
00:03:11.580 guys are going through a if guys are going through divorce it's so common i mean the seal teams are
00:03:15.640 well over 100 i mean they have been my whole time over 100 divorce rate if it becomes nasty to where
00:03:22.520 you can't make a deployment you can't make trips like you're in court custody battles they just remove
00:03:26.380 you they remove you they'll remove you put you on the sidelines for two years clean up your divorce
00:03:30.640 figure it all out and then come back wow they'll put you in a training slot or how common
00:03:34.520 is that pretty common so sometimes if they put a guy in training slot it's not a favor it's not a
00:03:40.980 promotion they're putting you there because you're going through something like look go handle your
00:03:44.060 stuff in personal life then when you're ready come back to it as well yeah i mean you put in so much
00:03:47.540 time and energy to get to the organization you're so critical to its overall performance right now if
00:03:51.940 you're not at 100 they have to pull you out and put in somebody else so how do you view that let's
00:03:55.500 just say i go through that and i'm put there for me to come back and there's four of you and i'm the fifth
00:03:59.680 one coming in are you guys a little bit worried whether i've changed or not or i'm still i still have
00:04:03.980 some of the old tendencies or no you you allow me to show up and represent and show you guys that i
00:04:10.340 have change how does that work yeah you definitely get a chance to come back and perform um i think
00:04:16.300 everyone's pretty open at that it happens all the time um but they're watching you you got to earn your
00:04:22.240 seat there every day and there are mistakes you cannot come back from and at such a high level
00:04:27.780 either you'll get kicked out or they'll they'll set you out and let you be a hundred percent when
00:04:34.060 you come back you can't be 98 it's the exact same thing and with injuries we have guys with some
00:04:40.180 colossal injuries they just they override it and you ever been at like a bull riding show you ever
00:04:46.620 seen the guys get taped up taping their shoulders in place you'd be surprised you see a a special
00:04:51.040 operations you know team room the injuries these guys are able to just push through kt tape all over
00:04:56.320 their body cortisone injections just everything to get through because they don't want to get pulled
00:04:59.860 off and eventually those injuries stack up so bad you can't hide it anymore i mean we're doing some
00:05:05.000 brutal physical activities and you cannot keep up you got to get surgery and they don't want to like
00:05:09.960 they don't want to jump off that train and sometimes you have to push them off the train go get surgery
00:05:14.220 do six months of rehab and come back here i can't have you at 45 right now i can't you got to go the
00:05:18.960 whole way go get surgery i was one of those guys he's been that guy like you have to get surgery
00:05:23.160 right now okay due to an injury due to whatever that happened due to on a mission you know so
00:05:29.580 slowing somebody down so that would be enough but that part to me makes sense though right it's like
00:05:33.100 sports hey you you're not given your best right now go do the surgery i don't want to do the tommy
00:05:38.060 john surgery look guy you got to do it you're going to sit down a season or achilles whatever that
00:05:41.640 happens i can see that part but the the noise versus signal there is not a formula like is there a
00:05:49.220 formula or you just something you do like if if you were to talk to right now a hundred corporate
00:05:53.840 executives that are money managers who are have a billion dollars under management they're going on
00:05:59.380 the road all the time they're traveling you're traveling they're going meeting with this client
00:06:02.020 meeting with that client and they have the wife and the kids and all that stuff and say hey man guys
00:06:06.180 i'd love for you to give me a formula on how to stay locked in i want to find a way to get locked
00:06:10.760 in i'm a performer i work my ass up but i got a wife and two kids how do i stay locked in so when i go
00:06:15.180 into that meeting to negotiate a deal and roll over that money i'm gonna get it what would you say to me
00:06:18.800 dials not switches dials not switches every time so switch meaning you know i joined a navy at 17
00:06:26.060 years old cole 18 19 years old i just flick that switch navy seal it's the only thing i care about
00:06:31.580 now you start stacking on all the other stuff and you can't give it equal bandwidth and that's where
00:06:35.580 the resentment comes in so i imagine a literal switchboard i've got my family dial i've got my
00:06:40.400 um i've got my my operational my my passion my profession whatever that is as soon as i wake up in
00:06:45.580 the morning i'm powering down the family dial all the way i'm not thinking about you when i'm driving
00:06:49.420 in not thinking about picking up kids off the bus none of that matters to me right now all i'm
00:06:53.820 thinking about is my next two hours as soon as i complete those two hours i re-operate my dials
00:06:58.340 recalibrate whatever i have to fully focus on i think it's a mindset too they definitely will pull
00:07:03.420 it out of you um and if you ultimately don't perform you won't be around there um but yeah the
00:07:10.040 dials and switches for sure you want to dial down family dial work up 100 i think too it's a
00:07:15.820 sacrifice wherever your goals are and where you're wherever you want to go if you're good just being
00:07:19.660 a big fish in a small pond cool if you want to get out of that pond and become a small fish in a bigger
00:07:24.020 pond at a higher level the sacrifice you may have to leave the work 100 on and then honestly be able
00:07:31.480 to turn that back off but realize you're sacrificing time to reach your goals you got two daughters but you
00:07:39.500 got three boys right with your boys are any one of them super athletic where they're playing like
00:07:44.860 sports where they could go to the next level they're you know young they're 12 9 and 6 um the
00:07:52.760 two older ones are super passionate about soccer uh the oldest one is getting ready to start travel
00:07:57.380 soccer and i'm all about supporting them wherever they want to take it however however far they want
00:08:02.500 to i grew up swimming on a competitive club team year-round and i had aspirations to to take
00:08:09.420 it to the olympics um i got burnt out and i just want to support my kids if they want to take it
00:08:15.760 all the way i'm happy to go over with them the sacrifice and what it'll take to get there
00:08:19.840 uh but ultimately it's on them and i just don't want to push them and burn them out
00:08:24.560 do you do do you would you support if they come and say that i want to i want to go but i want to be
00:08:30.360 a navy seal would you support that are you would that be like oh my god i'm so proud my kids want to
00:08:35.240 become navy seals or no whatever they want to do they do i'd 100 support them i want them to be
00:08:40.840 happy with whatever they choose but if they wanted to do that i'd support it but i'd give them a very
00:08:45.360 honest conversation of what they're getting into got it get married right off the bat you know marry
