In this episode of the Liberty Risk Podcast, Ryan and Nick sit down with Mitch Aguiar - former Navy SEAL, professional MMA fighter, and founder of the Smashin' Frog brand. From mowing lawns in 5th grade for ice cream truck money to fighting in the cage, going viral, chartering private jets, and leading successful businesses, Mitch shares unfiltered stories packed with grit, humor, and hard-earned lessons.
We talk about the real perception of SEALs, the highlight-reel illusion of Instagram, and the unique challenges of transitioning from elite military missions to leading civilian teams. Mitch opens up about leadership missteps, building company culture, and why staying authentic (and occasionally ridiculous) is key to long-term success.
In this episode you'll hear:
From combat to the cage to the boardroom, Mitch proves that success comes from adaptability, authenticity, and never taking yourself too seriously.
