Reviving the Navy SEAL Mindset: Overcoming Promises and Challenges

I’m Back: Recommitting to the Navy SEAL Mindset, Leadership, and Season Two

I’m William Brandham, former Navy SEAL and sniper instructor with 26 years of service, and I’m back after about 51 weeks away—upset with myself for breaking my promise to publish weekly and recommitting to one podcast a week for the rest of 2026 as we start Season Two with a heavy leadership focus. I share that 2025 has been chaotic (multiple moves, a new house, speaking on stages, and a three-year lawsuit) and introduce my partner in business and life, Erin Smith, who hosts the Driven Women Project. I explain my SEAL Leadership Challenge in Temecula, California, now converting from one day to two, combining physical and classroom work to teach teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and leadership through the lens of being in a gunfight. I also mention my co-author Brendan Nvo’s upcoming HR subscription app “Ask Brenda,” and I briefly note my lawsuit involves the name Naked Warrior Recovery.
