Diego Ugalde

“Today, I have the profound honor of welcoming a true embodiment of resilience, leadership, and transformation—Diego Ugalde. With over 20 years of service, including 15 as a Navy SEAL, Diego’s career was forged in the crucible of challenge, failure, and ultimate triumph. Rising through the ranks to become a Senior Chief Petty Officer, he served three combat tours in Iraq and participated in over 250 highly classified missions, earning multiple commendations for valor and excellence.

But Diego’s story doesn’t end on the battlefield—it evolves into something even more profound. Scarred and weathered, yet standing with a triumphant smile, Diego embarked on his greatest mission yet: to discover his True Self. Through years of introspection, psychedelic therapy, and spiritual growth, he has transformed his hard-earned lessons into a new purpose—to serve others by unlocking their potential as conscious leaders and collaborative teams.

As the founder of The Trident Approach, Diego blends the wisdom of the SEAL Teams with deep insights into human connection and spirit, creating elite leadership programs that emphasize teamwork, communication, and purpose. Through this work and his storytelling platform, Warriorside, Diego inspires individuals and organizations to find victory not just in the professional arena, but in the journey of life itself.

Diego’s message is clear: greatness lies not just in individual strength but in the synergy of shared purpose and service to others. Please join me in welcoming a true warrior, leader, and visionary, Diego Ugalde.”
