In this episode, Eddie Penney shares his journey from Navy SEAL and Marine to devoted father, entrepreneur, and spiritual mentor. Known for his elite military background and high-stakes operational experience, Eddie opens up about the emotional toll of war, the identity crisis that followed his transition out of the SEALs, and how faith, fatherhood, and a new mission helped rebuild his life.
Eddie introduces the powerful concept of a "hot wash," a military-style debrief used to reflect, critique, and improve—a practice he’s now brought into daily life, parenting, and business. His story is rich with lessons on overcoming fear, taking action in the face of uncertainty, and letting go of ego-driven success in favor of deeper personal growth. From the rigors of BUD/S training to the humility of apologizing to his children, Eddie’s candor is both disarming and inspiring.
This conversation strips away the myths of invincibility surrounding special operations forces, revealing the man behind the uniform. For anyone seeking clarity, courage, or a sense of purpose beyond career titles and accolades, Eddie’s transformation offers a powerful reminder that true strength is found in vulnerability, accountability, and faith.
