In today's episode of the Daily Drive, I'll delve into a pivotal moment from Admiral William McRaven's early career. As a newly commissioned Ensign, McRaven was eager to prove himself and expected to be tasked with a high-stakes mission. Instead, he was assigned the seemingly trivial job of building a Frog Float for a local parade. Frustrated, he received wise advice from Master Chief Hershel Davis: no matter how small the task, do it right. This mindset helped McRaven gain the trust needed to eventually lead some of the most critical missions of his career, including the operation that led to the death of Osama bin Laden. This story underscores the importance of taking pride in every job, no matter how small, as it can lay the foundation for greater opportunities ahead.
