Mike Ritland is a name familiar to many of you who are fans of Brandon's previous work. For the uninitiated, he was a teammate of Brandon's at SEAL Team 3, so there is a whole lot of history there. It's great to finally have him on the podcast.

After leaving the SEALs, Mike pursued his passion as a dog trainer starting Trikos International. On this episode he covers a lot of ground regarding his passion for man's best friend. Mike gets into the many uses of dogs whether as therapy pets, their ability to defuse stressful situations, or of course, as arguably the most valuable defense weapon. Mike sees being a good dog owner as a personal goal that must be attacked with the same passion one has for success in business or life in general.

He currently has an online training course, a useful and affordable tool for any dog owner. That can be found along with Mike's books, social media, and charity work at MikeRitland.com
