Jeff is my wifes cousin. He is a great man with wonderful parents. I'm retired from the military too.. He is a stud.
I see these negative comments here. Lot"s of good comments. But this guy got 17 concussions. shot numerous times plus blown up and received many other injuries in service of our country yet people just have to belittle his heart felt talk!
A person cannot say the truth now? As I was admiring his Michelangelo-sculpted body wth vicious tats, I was hoping that the talked matched his imposing demeanor.
22 concussions
I hope you can keep that mind driven to personal fulfillment. The SEALS are conquerors and you country is grateful to have people like you out there, in or out of uniform. Purpose is a moving target as you were indicating, especially when your mind won't allow you to give up and you accomplish your purposes quickly. You haven't fallen from purpose but may spend a portion of your life getting new purpose in the silence of your answers. Thanks to everyone who ever took part in special warfare for paying this price for everyone. You are all superheroes from where I sit. I salute you guys!

A hero is someone who has died in a selfless cause. You can't be a hero and still be alive.
Great great talk. What we are driven to? Purpose ! And has a process repetition under stress with love.Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.
Thank you, you articulated all these hard confusing feelings so well I understood. great talk
This is awesome, great guy
Best Ted Talk ever 💓❤💚💙💜💚👏👏👏👏
I just saw him in another video. This guy is seriously cool 😎
Very well said.
HOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
stephen brandel dude. seriously. every video
I think ppl have the hardest time with the finding of purpose. The issue isn't the after, rather it is the process of indentifying purpose.
For a split second there, I thought this guy was Dave Grohl.
I think he needs to retool his presentation. His content was on point, but didn't convey the right tone. I would like to have heard him speak on the same subject, but in a manner that better captured the attention of the audience and motivated them to embrace the positivity of his message. When I hear this man speak, I want to walk away saying "Purpose, Process, and Love", I now have the basic tools to approach all problems and situations in life. I think he fears not sounding authentic if he catches himself speaking like a motivational speaker. Awesome person, awesome content, give us more.
MPPD POA I found it to be more Authentic and genuine than 90% of Ted Talk presenters.... I've watched many, plus have an entire CD box set of 1000s I listen to in car! So I beg to differ - more of his authentic leadership style is what we need in this world
I’ve seen multiple videos that Jeff had to offer. It’s very genuine to how he acts. I don’t think he’s trying to reach the masses, though I could be wrong. It seems like it’s catered towards a specific audience.
I think you heard what he said but you didn't listen to what he said. Big difference.
This guy whacked Bin Laden, he’s just to humble to admit it.
How do you know?
He looks like a jacked Luke Skywalker
I didn't leave under my own terms, I wanted to become a green side corpsman, but at the time the Navy was downsizing.
If one has had the warrior spirt but has stumbled and did not make it to the top and found themselves lost can they regain the spirit understanding that the purpose will probably change
Struggling with that myself, it's a scary situation, having to say no to a fire that burns, almost like a bad addiction that you know will never be replaced, if that makes sense and we are talking about the same thing.
Yep but I think in his talk we need to find another reason for the fire to burn even though we at least I - can't do that anymore. But we can still sharpen the sword
Well dun brother! Your words were mindful and intelligent💪🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸bravo
A difference between a vector and a direction? What Jeff?
A vector is speed with direction, a direction is just a direction....
SEALS are warriors! However, what about Green Berets, Force Recon, ParaRescue?
These dudes are BadAss,,,,,, No Love for their service
I agree, and I'm sure there are SEALs who agree, too.
Yeah, while they're all skilled and dedicated members of our military, you have to wonder how SEALs are said to be the most top secret and skilled, yet we always hear about them on the news, read their books, and see who they are. At the same time we have no idea what the other special forces groups are up to. Not trying to discredit SEALs in any way, I've considered becoming one myself one day.
@Santiago Colla Pararescuemen are generally pretty silent professionals, not because they have to be
So how do I continue to find purpose if everything you try ends up as failure? Like the guys who ring the bell, what do they do to get back on track?
Cole Cooper Ok then how do you get those folks who quit to come back mentally from that defeat? You gotta figure those quitters are mentally crushed an depressed that they didn't make the cut.
em Burgess Unlike the guy who rang the bell, dont quit.
em Burgess Thats where their PURPOSE had to be re-evaluated. They need to reflect and find a reason to come back, a REAL reason. Nobody can find that reason but yourself, thats all there is to it.
They need to find a different goal. Maybe being a SEAL, Ranger, or Green Beret just wasn’t for them. Just like 99% of the population, it’s not a bad thing to admit that. Their purpose is elsewhere.
What do you use on your tattoos?
Anonymous 😂
What watch is he wearing ?
Tag Formula 1
Too much SEALs.We need other guys, like SAS or GROOM
then go volunteer tough guy.
How!Everytime someone question you about something you say: "Go volunteer tough guy"?! Like "i prefer cheese" "Then go volunteer tough guy!!!" .
Why do we need less SEALS and other special ops? What, specifically, do they offer that SEALS don't?
Waiting......for an intellectual and straightforward answer.....
Diversity......daaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh
Such a boring speech.
