What Navy SEAL Training Really Teaches About Leadership

In today’s episode, I sit down with Errol Doebler, former Navy SEAL, FBI Special Agent, and one of the most unique leadership thinkers working today.
We dive into the leadership forged in combat, under pressure, and inside the most demanding environments on earth. Errol breaks down what he learned in BUD/S (Class 193)—where more than 90% quit—and how those lessons shaped the way he leads, builds culture, and makes decisions when the stakes are life or death.

We cover:
* Why Navy SEAL leadership translates to business
* The mindset that gets you through impossible challenges
* Emotional awareness and decision-making under stress
* How to lead teams through uncertainty, chaos, and fear
* The FBI undercover cases that transformed how Errol thinks
* Why great leaders MUST build process over motivation
* How to create an environment where elite performance becomes normal

Errol also shares the surprising lesson he learned leaving the FBI and launching his company, Leader 193, and why he believes anyone can become a great leader with the right process.
