#145 – Get Naked With A Former Navy Seal
Today I’m absolutely honored to be joined by former US Navy SEAL and American hero William Branum. With 26 years of service under his belt, William is now a successful entrepreneur supporting veterans & first responders’ recovery as the founder of Naked Warrior Recovery (which we are happy to have as a sponsor for today’s episode). Today William shares lessons learned from his time as a SEAL and how he applies them to his business and personal life.
At an early age William knew he wanted to be part of a team that would push him beyond whatever limits he thought he had and still enjoy the outdoors and all it had to offer. He charged forward and became an Eagle Scout and joined the Navy immediately after graduating High School. After graduating from SEAL Training (BUD/S Class 208) he served on multiple SEAL Teams, taught SEAL Sniper School, and deployed around the globe.
As with too many veterans, William suffered from numerous physical injuries and psychological symptoms that negatively impacted his wellbeing and quality of life. Migraines, severe anxiety, chronic pains, difficulty focusing, difficulty sleeping/falling asleep, and depression are some of the symptoms he would struggle with on a daily basis. He tried many prescription medications to help and eventually started to “self-medicate” with alcohol to help with pain and sleep issues. During his last few years of military service William started hearing more about the promising benefits of cannabinoids like CBD. Ultimately, he chose to wait until his retirement from the military before exploring this new world of plant based benefits to help aid in his physical and psychological recovery. Determined to maintain his Top Secret Security clearance after the military, he sought THC free options of CBD.
Today William is focused on sharing the recovery benefits he has experienced through premium quality (THC Free) CBD in hopes that other Veterans and First Responders can also experience their own recovery.
William and I also discuss his philosophy of GET NAKED! Get naked is a mindset which is about taking off your EGO so that you stop wearing it around like a force field protecting you from what other people think. It’s a mindset that promotes freedom of thought and freedom of action. It’s about being unrealistic in your daily life, having unrealistic goals and expectations. It’s living your life without self-limiting beliefs so that you can live your life without regrets. So go ahead and expose your fears and do not care what they think!!!
Thank you so much to William for your service and for joining us this week on The Alden Report.
