Meet Betty. She’s a 98 year old Holocaust Survivor who still gets after it!
Goes to the gym every day, plus volunteers at several organizations on the regular.
Life served her one of the most horrific episodes known to mankind & Betty swung back & defeated it. Inspirational!
Thirteen years ago today, we lost Marc Lee, an incredible man in every aspect: talented SEAL operator, loyal friend and Teammate, devout Christian, and a loving husband, brother and son. We will forever mourn his loss and honor his memory.
13 years ago, Mike Monsoor made the ultimate sacrifice for his SEAL Brothers in Ramadi, Iraq. Honored and humbled to have know such a man. May his legacy live on. Never Forget.

On this day 10 years ago, Task Unit Briiser, the SEAL Teams and America lost an exceptional man. Ryan Job was a warrior, a man of tremendous Faith, a SEAL teammate, a true friend and brother. Honored to have known…
“I’m not a hero because I got shot in the face and blinded,” Ryan Job told me. “You’re a hero,” I said, “because you knew you could get shot at any moment. And still you went out on op after op for your teammates & those Soldiers and Marines we were protecting.”R.I.P. Ryan Job.

It was 2007. Task Unit Bruiser was just back from Ramadi. This photo was on the wall in Jocko’s house. Seth Stone & I saw it. “Who’s this dude that Helen’s making out with?!?” we asked, incredulously. Jocko replied: “That’s me.” We’d never seen Jocko with long hair & sideburns.
How do you deal with an argumentative team member, who opposes other people’s plans and won’t listen to feedback?
As a young SEAL officer, I was the guy who took pride in being argumentative and pushing back against the chain of command.
But when I started working for Jocko,
When everything is going right, don't let down your guard. Be thinking about where things can go wrong & plan for them. The disease of victory is real. Successful leaders must counter this mentality to sustain victory. My Platoon Hut post at

Extreme Ownership introduced the foundational principles of leadership. The sequel, the Dichotomy of Leadership, shows you how to apply the principles of Extreme Ownership in the real world, where leadership isn’t black and white but gray. Check out the new expanded edition of
The most effective way to do this is to be humble. Tell your team that this is the standard you are working toward and you’d like them to read it and hold you accountable to that standard.

Just one of the many dichotomies that every leader must learn to balance. That’s why we wrote the book, the Dichotomy of Leadership. New edition available October 1:
In the modern world, people talk about mindfulness and forest therapy. Since time immemorial, hunters have known the power of venturing into the wild to look, listen, smell, and observe. It sharpens the mind, feeds the soul and demonstrates the true power of detachment.
