What does it mean to be a Navy SEAL? Well, that answer differs based on what time period you're talking about.

In this conversation, Kevin Stark, former Navy SEAL of 22 years, talks with Brock about the identity crisis the community had which led to writing the ethos. It was at this time a shift towards picking individuals of high character, not just physical strength. We also talk about the human OS, why performance is greater than endurance, and not taking a backseat to your life.
