In this episode, Chad and Brandon are honored to sit with a highly decorated retired Navy SEAL, Dan Luna, who is the founder of Team 3LX, a leadership coaching and consulting firm based in Annapolis, Maryland. We explore Dan's upbringing as an only child in Los Angeles, California and his decision to join the Navy and pursue one of the most challenging paths in the United State Military - the Navy SEALs.  

Dan shares a number of leadership lessons he learned during his more than 15 years of active service, which included 9 deployments to the frontlines of the War on Terror and other strategic initiatives. Dan's last deployment was to serve as an instructor at the United States Naval Academy where he worked with Midshipmen who themselves desired to earn their way into the SEALs.  While serving at the Academy, Dan also earned a Masters in Organizational Leadership, as well as a certificate in Leadership Coaching, each from Georgetown University. 

Dan's unique background combines real world, battle tested leadership experiences, with a deep understanding of the many theories and practices of effective leadership.   

Brandon, Dan and Chad also go in depth on matters such as mindset, character, problem-solving and balance.
