This guy has a simplistic, practical, concise and wise way about him. He's very down to earth and humble. Stoic Beastmode!
Indeed. He's much like a hammer -- non-complex and effective.

A lot of that is just hill folk.
"A ship doesn't sail on yesterday's wind." Had to reflect on that one for a minute.
That one is so good. ❤️
me too
So good. Tattoo worthy.
A lot of wisdom in that one short sentence.
Interesting one...
Thanks to both of you for taking the time. Amazing content. I’m humbled. I’m actually detoxing drugs right now in a hotel. Lost my mom to suicide, lost two brothers to heroine, one of my kids passed. I lost my marriage and my two kids. Listening to this as I return is super helpful. I look forward to having the same peace and sound mind both of you have. For now please pray for me. I’m he demons are raging. But God is also and he says He loves me. I’m just in his way. I surrender control of my life. The feeling of being so alone and abandoned in the desert sucks but I believe God is inviting me into the desert. I’m just so scarred. Bless all of you. Peace over you. Victory over you. Life over you. Blessings over you.

How you doing, mate?

The bit from 26:30 when he tells the story of how the power of saying “I’ll never quit” out loud and with real conviction made a guy (who had only ever ran 10km before) run over 100 miles with him. Summed up by Chad as “My tongue is my rudder” incredible stuff.
That sounds totally insane. I run 22km few times, 10 and 15k regularly and I can't imagine being able to push myself next week to run 160km (approx 100 miles). That story is absolutely amazing.
Thanks for the time stamp, having my 10 yo wrestler listen to it right now !!
When Chadd came home for a few weeks after finishing the first phase of BUDs I remember this conversation very clearly Me (mom) "chadd I am so proud of your accomplishment and I know you will do much more" Chadd " Momma you know one thing I have always been sure about? Whatever I wanted to do all my life you first would research everything you could about it, support me in any aspect of the challenge and assure me that I would surpass whatever goals I set for myself. No matter what it wanted to do even if I had chose to be a ballerina you would have supported me, and for that I am so grateful. Nuff said!

"Don't give a voice to your pain. Not at all related to mental or emotional pain. I'm talking about physical pain that you feel during self inflicted adversity." Roger that!
I did that years ago, now i cant walk
@@tombryan1 Lol.
I’m still doing that but I can walk. 😋
Chadd seems like the real deal.. Navy Seal, ultra marathoner, etc and a walking billboard for don’t judge a book by its cover
"A ship doesn't sail on yesterday's wind" - Man I love that quote. This guy is my age but he has really experienced life, whereas I've been feeling as directionless as a fart in a windstorm. Great episode.
Time to change that. You are the captain of your own fate
Fart in a windstorm bro? 💀
"A ship does not sail with yesterday's wind." - Louis L'Amour, The Walking Drum
Weewh , that fart is still on yesterday's wind tho
"A fart in the windstorm". Also a great quote in and of itself 😂
"Be hard when it gets hard." I love that.
It's deep.
And how perfect that he follows it up saying it's not sustainable. Especially in relationships.
You gotta get there to get there. Once you're there you have to act normal.
@@billbradleymusic Meditation is the best way to get there and actually be there.
David Clark he said its not sustainable to always be hard, but you can be hard when it gets hard. You have to be
He’s real deep, intense dude.
With huge ears, he could hear enemies from afar.
I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made. Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Very inspiring! I love this.
I understand that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is hard for me now because I have no idea of how and where to invest in. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.?
@@harrisonjamie794 I invest across the top markets but not by myself though. I follow the guidelines of MARTHA ALONSO HARA . you might have heard of her. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as an investment advisor as her diversification skills is top-notch, I say this because I see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 20 to 3O% every month, unlike I can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along. my portfolio just mirrors what she places and not just on some particular industries of my choosing. she gave me that financial freedom I needed
@@MarcusFred-wn3iv That’s great, your investment advisor must be really good, I have seen testimonies of people using the help of investment advisors in making them more financially stable. Do you mind sharing more info on this person?
@@harrisonjamie794 quickly do a web check where you can connect with her, and do your research with her full name mentioned
@@MarcusFred-wn3iv I just looked up this person out of curiosity; surprisingly, she seems proficient. I thought this was just some overrated BS, I appreciate this.
Chadd makes me want to be a better man. He does what is required, humbly, and empowers others to do the same. Bless him.
I love this guy. Very polite and humble. This is the true meaning of internal strength.
Life is about doing the little things. Hacks and short cuts don’t work. Satisfaction comes from doing the work day in and day out.
W Cameron Zane you’re right. The short cuts and instant gratification won’t help you better yourself
I don't think that's completely true. Of course you've got to work hard but just working hard might not be enough... Hacks and shortcuts do work if they are smart and many times are neccessary. A properly implemented hack will greatly amplify results of your hard work.
Fully agree, people looking for "shortcuts" will collapse once life gets REALLY hard, and this WILL come. You need to be able to grind.
well of course there is some ways to make it easier to build habits. Hacks and shortcuts do exist. But in diffrent ways.
Work harder and smarter.
Was expecting the usual inspirational mixed with bravado SEAL talk but got so much more. No bravado, totally inspiring, spiritual and humble. What an amazing man.
All interviews I ever saw on YT were like these. Where do you watch that crap?
most team guys are humble men...there's always those who think they are God's gift, but more than not humility is the common trait
15 minutes into this video and I already know I’ll watch it 3 times.
His Dad is such a great man/father...he said “if you want to be a SEAL you, have no choice” and gave that reassurance. My dad would’ve tried to talk me out of my dreams, and I feel like most other parents would too
I feel that you are correct.
Precisely
D.F. concur brother💯parents can f... Up ur dreams...told my Dad in 9th grade I was gonna play in the NFL!!he laughed🤣🤣I never forgot that...I played 6 years in the League!!young people follow ur dreams!!!to this day he never really congratulated me and with the concussion lawsuit he never said a word.This is a man who made alot of money...but was mad because I did something he couldnt...helluva a Dad huh???
Ron Cassudy you know they say your biggest haters are right in front of you
@@KingConsoleJordan brother Dad both brothers step mom the list goes on n on.I would just channel that negative shit n said WATCH ME!!!!I'm sure lots of us type A personalities had family obstacles to overcome the doubters the "You don't look the part???those NORMAL people don't matter, they can't congrats you n say wow that's amazing!!!no I get REALLY???Unless your an Alpha Male whose tough n disciplined u don't understand the mentality!!!I'm babbling cuz I'm old n got CTE n PTSD but I love all u young guys out there pushing the envelope I'm so proud of u guys!!!💯🔥💪 Live Strong Live Long!!!!
I ran a little bit with Chadd at a last man standing ultra. Didn't know him at all. He had a vibe encompassing him that you could feel, the force is with him. Cool guy.
hordboy can you explain more?
Some just give off a certain or special aura.
Yeah, that dude gets so hard. I love nothing more than seeing a guy like him get hard. Fuck it gets my blood flowin! "It becomes something real, something that can be measured"
@hordboy. Really love your comment. Your reinforcing Chadd’s awesomeness, stemming from a brief, real-life moment, feels genuine and is significant to hear.
KT
He got my attention at 3 minutes already by being humble.
“I’m either going to break my body or achieve victory!” Wow! Quitting is not in the table! This guy is simply amazing and Rich of course is a legend!
What if he broke his body?
@@tombryan1 then he would have given his all and could probably live with defeat.
@@bramcastelein total bs. His mom was a triathlete. He had the genetics to push himself a fraction of what others half to. It’s bs
@@dsiz9421 dont think so (thats why i use probably), so lets agree to disagree on that and lets not call other opinions bs right away. 😉
I just realized I ran the Cayuga 50 miler in New York with this guy. He was far ahead of me but I knew he looked familiar. Dude was so fast
A man of faith, courage and love...much respect to you brother bless
I'm an unlikely viewer of this video (75 yo woman, to physically inactive, etc.), so I was surprised to learn so much that I need. I'm a follower of Eckhart Tolle, and this video took me to church, so to speak (not religiously but spiritualy). The truth is beautiful. I'm inspired. Thanks for the opportunity to hear Chadd. (Great questions, Rich.)
I think you are a beautiful Canuck. That's what I think.
Love Ekhart and I know what you mean! In times of struggle when he speaks on going to that place you have to have to overcome adversity, I believe he’s speaking of the present moment
Im sure Eckarts a great guy, but sincerely speaking, with all do respect, he cannot save you from your sins. Only Jesus Christ can do that. So please turn to Him, and be saved while Gods still given you time. thank you Mam
@@colbyd.5044 listen to Alan Watts
J B I do all the time!!
My spiritual teacher in Israel is a Holocaust survivor. I am prone to depression. I moved to israel from the States in 2021. One of the times i was really struggling, my teacher told me in her heavy accent, "You dont ever NEED to let anyone know how you truly feel." I will never forget these words of a survivor from true hell. Real hell. She lives her life devoted to helping other people and rarely if ever says anything negative about herself or how she feels or her pain, either psychic or physical. I hear that voice of hers in my head so often saying those words, when i begin to fall down the rabbit hole. She is a soldier just like this man. She taught me how to fight against myself and my own fears. Thank you for sharing your stories of true service.
I really love how Rich and Chadd both value their wives & families so much, truly inspiring.
Life is about doing the little things. Hacks and short cuts don’t work. Satisfaction comes from doing the work day in and day out.
I love how he constantly confirms that everything others did was great, just not his deal. He didnt want more or something better, just different. Stand up guy.
Lets not be disingenuous. He knows he’s better than most people when it comes to that part of life. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
I had jo idea who Chadd was and after watching the entire thing I’m so impressed and the saying never judge the book by its cover makes perfect sense. I’m also impressed how humble Chadd is which is so rare in these days the amount of stuff he did accomplish many people would bragged about everywhere yet hi is sitting there so humble and controlled manner he didn’t use a single bad word which is very hard to do in these days.
I watch a lot of interesting interviews of such people and trying to adopt their resilience and perseverance.
Great respect for both of them for sharing their stories
Well worth every second of it 👏🏼👏🏼✊🏼
Awesome testimony Chad! As a former Naval Aviator, adventurer, and athlete myself, I can totally get what you’re saying. I’m a Christian and your testimony and openness about your faith are substantially encouraging. God bless you brother and keep ‘running the good race.’ By the way, your experience with demons on deployment is something I’ve experienced as well, not on deployment and not in the same, sort of tangible, way you had, but definitely the feeling of dread, discontent, and overall darkness in an area where my wife and I owned property in a neighborhood that was not spiritually healthy at all. Now that we’ve divested ourselves from that area, in large part because of that, the spiritual weight was lifted. God directed our actions and footsteps and restored us. God’s using you in great ways brother. I hope and pray that Rich takes your testimony to heart, puts presuppositions and biases aside, and looks into the word of Jesus with an open mind and heart. It life changing. This is one of the best, if not the best, interview I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. Thanks for doing this Rich and Chad.
Actually god didn’t direct anything cause there is no god
Amen brother!
I love how he says Rich’s name every time he talks about something he’s excited about! It’s so endearing.
I'm giving up cussing. Spoken words have immense power.
I was thinking the same
Yes, I noticed that too. It's a sign of respect for another. Wouldn't it be nice to see a politician with this young man's skillset
The way that this podcast has turned my day into a brand new way of thinking, is unreal. I could listen to Chad for hours and hours. A bright light shines out of him.
He's so right about cursing. I get it, why men curse, but to me the stronger man in my eyes is always been the one who doesn't
"I simplify things that resonate with me.. I had no choice." - How true!
It sounds like him and David Goggins have learned similar some lessons though different life experiences. I’’m glad that each person is able to tell their story, be respected, and the audience can take what they will from what their resonates with them and what they need.
Life experiences? Like baby killing?
Nautilus1972 do you know something that no one else knows or are you assuming. If you are that’s nasty!
I love Chadd Wright. He is the most real of all the navy seals I've ever watch. He is just like the rest of us.
I am diggin how well spoken and clear he is. Notice how he isnt constantly using verbal ticks such as "like" "honestly" "literally" "do you know what I'm saying" etc. And he prefaces things he says with "this is just my opinion" or "this ia just what I have learned in my life". Those are the marks of a very intelligent, humble and well learned person.
One of the most genuine people I've ever heard on a podcast...
Most people from the country were raised that way..be humble, don't make a spectacle of yourself and love your country and family.
People who have suffered the most in life should become teachers wether it’s putting yourself through what this guy does/has or if life has dealt you a bad hand. These people are gold
When I got saved, it was like light switch. It went from dark to light. Cold to warm. Unknown to known. Fear to joy. Unaccepted to accepted. Really wonderful!
Amen🙏🏽
Prove god exists
@@davidfayfield5773 prove God doesn’t exist. I’ll wait.
I love stories like this. Through a series of challenges I undertook in my life I learned how to push through the pain and keep going anyway. The biggest ones were running a marathon after barely training, then having 3 kids between 2014-2018, all unmedicated births (2 of which were water births where no one touched me until afterwards, and I caught my own baby). I had gotten really good at ignoring pain. But then something happened that changed everything. Without having any prior back pain or weakness, one day I bent down to tie my shoe and my back seized and I couldn’t stand up straight again. I was like a human letter C. I spent 3 days in bed, and then felt fine and went back to life as usual. About 6 weeks later, I bent down to change my youngest child’s diaper and my back seized, but this time, violently. I screamed over and over so loudly, and just fell on the floor. I was right next to the couch, and it took 3 hours to get myself from the floor to the couch. Then, I could not get up for 36 hours, not even to go to the bathroom. My husband and I knew I should go to the ER, but that an ambulance ride would be extremely expensive, and there was no other way to get me to the hospital. My husband thought he could maybe carry me to the car, but anytime he so much as tried to pick me up or move me, the pain would be so intense I’d be screaming again, so we just stayed at home and hoped it would get better. I wish now that I had called for an ambulance anyway, more than I can say. No pain meds would touch it. After 36 hours, I was able to finally hobble, bent over and so weak my husband had to hold me up, to go to the bathroom. I was used to ignoring pain and pushing through it, so I thought it would work that time. After that I spent weeks in bed other than to go to the bathroom or go to the chiropractor. It got “better” and I thought it was all over. After 9 months of near constant debilitating flare ups, I finally insisted on an MRI, and they found not one, or two, but 4 herniated discs in a row, in my lower back. The goal was to try to avoid surgery, so I spent another 6 months trying everything else, and nothing worked. I finally got surgery 2 weeks ago. I never know if my life will be normal again, but I’m not giving up. Unfortunately, this hurt the trust I had in my body. To have such a serious issue come up with no prior pain, and then have near constant debilitating pain for a year and a half, that I could never push through (if I didn’t stop whatever I was doing and lay down as soon as the pain increased, it would injure me further), broke me. Pain and lack of pain mean something so different to me now.
Best of Luck to you & Thank You for sharing Your Story
Had the pleasure of meeting this dude in Blackwater's HQ in Virginia. He told us he loved to cut grass for $ on the side and did it initially as a joke to make his brothers laugh, "a Navy Seal that cuts grass" lmao. Real cool dude.
This is fantastic. I was training to do the Ironman but the cancer stage 3 struck and knocked me out. I’ve been looking fir inspiration to rekindle my love for running. This video is it. I’m still suffering from extreme pain in my lower bowel and I’ve been too scared how my body will react. The reason is that any change in my routine causes me major gut problems. I’ll tune in to this and try to use it to motivate me
start eating aloe vera. you will be greatful .
What a sweet and lovely man! My cousins were in Seal Team 1 and 2. Yeah, they didn't say a word about any of it. But this guy has a huge heart and a big kuleana. We should be proud of him as an Amazing American!
My father didn't serve any country; he was a resistance fighter in the former Yugoslavia during WWII against the Nazis; sounds black and white but there was no country to be patriotic about. … just Justice and Mercy for All … and yet holds many of the same tenets as this amazing man; tx for this podcast, and tx for the opportunity to listen to Chadd Wright.
I had the chance of greeting one of those great men in Mauthausen, Austria. He was sent to that hell because he was part of the Resistance, and survived to tell the tale still in 2005. Always will be a place in my heart for that man.
Your grandpa fought my grandpa.
My girlfriends grandpa is 95, he's a Nazi officer. Maybe they met each other ?
My grandfather was at Pearl Harbor when the attack happened. He wasn’t on a ship, it had a very specific name, and it was very small. But it sank. Afterward he continued to fight in the South Pacific.
I aspire to follow after him and join the Navy
Thx to your father for fighting against Tyranny and fighting for freedom.... My father fought against communism in Vietnam... The mighty 25th, OPERATION WANDERING SOUL...Think of that what you will...
I get insanely good vibes from this guy. Great job you two.
This is by far my favorite SEAL interview. The power of prayer is the most amazing thing I have ever experienced too. My Heavenly Father has done some amazing things for me too and I pray many times a day because I want Jesus near me at all times!!!
was jesus white ? no disrespect
@@rotchildssmashedskullbyavi2402 Jesus was a Jew
@craisins 86 I'd love too, but this is not the forum. My doctors want me to write a book and they say they will publish it. They believe it could inspire millions but I'd be happy if just one person was inspired. This SEAL has inspired me. Chad is the man!
rotchilds smashed skull by a Viking ! Now that’s a silly question.......Have you never seen a picture of him?
@@sda4ever if he wasn't white then why should i as a white man care about jesus ?
Rich your channel has literally change my life thank you so much for this I'm 22 and really lost in a new country, new language, new people, and I just lost myself for 7 years. Thank you so much!
Wow, kudos to Chadd for being so calculated as to how he responds to the questions, especially about faith. And kudos to Rich for asking the questions. In a world where religion/faith can be so divisive, Rich does a great job just taking a clearly genuine interest in another human being, and Chadd isn't pushy or forceful and allows his story to do the work! Love it
Chadd is a genuine dude. I got in touch with him through a mutual friend when I found out I was being medically retired after 6.5 years in the USAF and he really helped me cope with that and is helping me with the transition. “Don’t die in the chair.” - Chadd Write
1:35:33 "Energy is finite :- Never fight against the things you hate. So much easier to promote the things you love" wow 👌👍
I'm no Navy Seal, but my motto has always been "when life gets tough, you need to get tougher" Chad has the simplified version, "be hard when it gets hard"
Can we get a livefeed of Rich, Jocko, Goggins and Chad on the Marathon Des Sables. Maybe Jordan Peterson opens each leg of the race with a quote from Neitzche?
@craisins 86 Funny you consider the reference demeaning given the mutual respected Peterson and Jocko have displayed in each others company. Maybe you're projecting your own opinions on to those four people?
Throw in Wes Watson (look him up) while you're at it. He's a former prisoner who followed (and still follows) a rigid life of discipline to reform his ways.
@craisins 86 Oh get over yourself, cupcake.
@craisins 86 Wow, talk about projection. You can go to your safe space now where you'll only be referred to by your preferred pronouns.
@craisins 86 Why would that be demeaning to them ?
Most people don't know it's the coldest right before sunrise.
I've experienced this, so many times.
I had a good friend that I worked with for several years that died from cancer. I didn't know he was a navy seal till it came out at his funeral.
Dr. Max Gershon is a interesting doctor to study about. Why is he interesting? Idk... check him out, just not on Wikiganda-
My condolences to your loss of good co-worker / friend.
I knew a seal who died from cancer. Amazing person and so many opportonities to be heroic seemed to follow him. For example he happened onto a robbery and handled the situation before the police even arrived. He was kind to everyone.
Im a straight dude and i totally just fell in love with this guy. Haven't seen a better role model as a human.
I’ve enjoyed every minute of this episode. First time listener. This guy is inspirational
Hunter Hodges total inspiration,
I totally and absolutely agree
Hunter Hodges I agree 100%. This guy is inspirational and incredibly humble.
Hunter Hodges me too bro
Very inspirational!! We have many family in military. I ended up with with CLD, I admire this you g man. I have kiddos his age. Very awesome.
I need to listen to this several times to really appreciate what is being said.
**Edit** I completed my first ultramarathon race last week and salient points of this conversation helped me to the finish line. Powerful stuff!
Dont judge a book by its cover. Figuratively and literally especially with this special guy. Thanks for your honesty and openness. Thank you for sharing your story
Loved the part about The Power of the Spoken Word
31:03 you mean? That part? How can you fall for that mumble jumble? Just listen how he actually never answers the question.
I am a teenager who struggles with pornography. I decided to put that statement to the test, and I told myself, “I will not mess up today,” and I haven’t failed since. It’s helped tremendously telling myself, out loud, that I won’t mess up. Brings me so much confidence.
Chadd confirms never give up
"If Goggins and Josh LaJaunie had a son, his name just might be Chadd Wright." I just LOVE this quote from RR. I couldn't agree more!!! But I must say, this guy is AWESOME! Thank you for introducing us to him!!!
Wish there were more men like this guy, he stands by his words and knows how important they are. Hope he gives his body a break, and enjoys life the rest of his time on earth. God bless him and thank him for his service.
Wow. I had no idea how much I needed this podcast, today of all days. I'm 31 today, and I've been clean and sober from all drugs and alcohol for 2 months now. Thank you Chad for your stories, and reaffirming my lifes direction. I have my first ultramarathon in May, 35 miles, here in the UK and I've been training hard. Thank you Sir, and thank you Rich for the platform
Dude! Congratulations, bro. I hope you crush your race.
I have heard the testimonies of dozens of Navy Seals and Delta Operatives, but this soldier imparts as maybe as humble as he is imparts wisdom that wisdom that is life changing.
Soldiers are in the Army
Sailors are in the Navy
But yes i totally agree with you☺
He is articulating the power of self-talk and verbalization in such a way that it's both accurate and powerful. You make your reality with your words
This video is a "Master Class" on successful phycology for speaking to yourself. Awesome.
The interviewee was interesting and filled with real information and honesty, I enjoyed and appreciated every minute. As someone who had never seen an interview by Rich Roll, I must comment that Rich's style of interviewing was fantastic. I was impressed by the questions but never sensed a "greediness" in his questioning but rather an intuitiveness and honest interest in every question. Very, very impressed by the interviewer and the result. A+. Thanks to both of you for a truly inspiring and informative experience. God bless!
How is this man so young and so wise?? Love these types of guests. Great podcast Rich!
David Shelmerdine Yes many people dismiss what Southerners say just because of our accents...
(To be fair, a lot of idiots speak Southern too 😆)
Humbleness.
Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, the life. He follows the one who holds all wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. He will fill all who thirst and seek Him above all else. Seek and you shall find, knock and the door will open, ask and you shall receive.
I keep comming back to this interview, so many gems from this wise man.
Just read his after life of Navy Seal.,he gives back ,the 3 ,,7 made so much sense, patience, not quitting,,breaking a tough situation down, in smaller pieces, staying present,,what a leader ,what a wonderful person!!!!!!!
This Man Chadd is totally amazing, I believe I met a man from the Future. A humble and beautiful Sage. This Man will Alway's be at peace with his spirit.
I don’t comment on really anything online, but I have to say that this was such a refreshing and motivational interview. Thank you both for sharing and putting such positive thoughts back into the world.
"What a luxury to be able to sit in on this conversation between two formidable athletes and "state of the art" men!
Rich thank you for the brutal amount of prep you do for your podcasts, the work always shows, and the curvy clever questions you ask.
Chadd thank you for your sacrafice and service and refreshing honesty in sharing your ideas! I've been an athletic trainer for 45 years and you're never too old to learn!
Carry on! And NEVER stop being Rich Roll and Chadd Wright! Gratitude xx
Turned to running to cope with working in healthcare in our challenging times. Needed to hear this thanks for your great interview.
What a great thing he did for the kid named Thomas. Wow, the lessons he learned that race will serve him for the rest of his life. Totally awesome story.
I'm giving up cussing. Spoken words have immense power.
That was a great advice
@@karrimikkonen2215 have you heard of david goggins
@@joshuaminchew3556 lol i was just thinking the same thing, seeing how so many people are offended he has so much cursing in his book.
Cussing hardly means anything it can be good to emphasize things or project emotion big fuckin deal get over it
Cuss words are so effective because they are based on the fact that they are taboo, they wouldn't have power if they weren't taboo, but its wrong to cuss because of the same reason, when you use things like that, it automatically corrupts your mind and projection to other people
Holy crud bud! I played it before bedtime and watch the whole thing. Really got good when u got into faith n stuff. Chad you are such a blessing and inspiration.
NOT what expected when selected to listen to a SEAL. VERY deep yet interesting. Took much from this episode. Watched entirely. How Chadd has chosen to direct his life and energy is not easy, especially to sustain long term. Very much admire Chadd. Appreciate all that I heard and learned. I hope to find Chadd and his message throughout more social media. Today's world can use SO MUCH more "chadd"! Very humbled to have watched this. GOD BLESS!
Thanks for having this guy on! What an awesome person that does such a great job verbalizing how he formulates success and discipline.
37:27 Thank you for your service to Country and The Kingdom of God Chadd
Chadd love hearing you speak the words of Christ. God bless you brother.
Ye. Then he joins the military and shots people in the head. How christian of him.
@@nizahe2731 LOL. Do you even Bible? Read the story of King David and lets talk.
The dichotomy if humility and confidence that exudes from true self realization...awesome brother.
“I’m either going to break my body or I’m going to achieve victory” that simplifies it for me 🥶
We need more people like chadd in this world. The World will be so much more better.
another great guy from seal teams, these guys are so real and aware, the world needs to hear more of this.
Yvette Bezuidenhout oh look, you again with another insane and ridiculous comment trolling for attention.
He said he never curses but then almost let an F bomb drop LOL. That was great. Caught his rudder just in time:)
“It brings you to a pure form of humanity.” He was talking about Ultra Running. I really appreciated the things he talked about.
I just happened to come across this podcast because it was in the suggested videos --> and can I say that it may have been just what I needed. I have been struggling with a lot mentally the last couple of years and just being able to "fake it" around people while being eaten alive with internal strife. Listening to Chadd just opened my mind up to how to "attack" many of the internal enemies that I am battling. Thank you Chadd and Rich!
Thanks for sharing bro. Stay strong we've got this. 💪⚓
This was one of the best interviews with Rich Roll. So motivating
I honestly don't know. Ultra athletic stuff is going to burn anyone out and Rich Roll has something to fall back on … always feel like the bad faery at the picnic, but he will always be a beacon for so many reasons if he reaches 95 I will listen to him but there was so much heh dude, man, etc. let it go. Big fan of Malcolm Gladwell; Talking to Strangers; some kind of dissonance only in the fact that Rich Roll is yearning. Not a bad thing. Just saying. Life is not a trajectory as he says himself; new path, old and new combined. Amazing interview, much respect for Rich Roll.
evelyn baron What are you saying?
Are you even saying anything? Or is that a robotic response?
Inspiring, authentic, down to earth guy with so much compassion. Breaking everything down into single steps is the way of reaching any goal you want to reach. Be true to yourself and have fun during the journey.. so much value in his words... And @Rich: One more great interview! Keep doing these! I love it!
What an inspiration. I was not a Seal, but accomplished many missions with them in the field. They are the best, and America should be very proud of their dedication to this country against all odds.....
This was one of the most exceptional interviews Ive ever heard. He is a remarkable man with a virtuous spirit.
I saw this video prior to enlisting in the navy. I went to bootcamp but got an entry level separation due to my poor eyesight. I got to experience that feel of having your dreams taking from you. I'm grateful to come across this video. I'm currently in the process of trying to find an ophthalmologist to see if there is anything that can be done to possibly correct my vision that will be up to standard with the navy. I was told at greatlakes that it was very unlikely that my vision can be corrected but I have to try.
Hope it's working out. Maybe try ALL the services...something. I am ex infantry. I joined, and then quit during training. Literally, the day after I left, I went right back to the office and signed right back up again and did 5 years. If you dont
, you WILL regret it. Don't give yourself an out! Keep me posted man!
"Be hard when it gets hard" & "showing compassion" You said some beautiful words brother.
I'm not religious at all but I can't help but to like this man.
You don't have to be religious to be saved but it will help keep you focused.
Love this guy, a regular dude, with a big heart.
What an mazing man, such an inspiration. He's got life figured out - such wisdom. Excellent interview Rich
This man has pure wisdom. Excellent interview.
I love this dude. So open to learning about the mysteries of life.
Staying humble...2 👀 2 👂 1 👄
This is awesome, I have never heard of chadd, but as soon as I started hearing him speak I knew that he was a believer. It's amazing how one brother to another our spirits identify, even through a youtube video. I love it.
“Adversity is a tool; that is all that it is.”
Don’t give a voice to bullshit....
