TGM Classic | Larry Yatch | Leading Like A Navy SEAL


Listen Later

What does it take to be a successful Navy SEAL or entrepreneur? And how does one learn from the other?


Surprisingly, entrepreneurs are no different from special operators. Just like in the Navy SEAL, entrepreneurship requires good leadership with the ability to plan, execute, and be methodical. Both require unyielding perseverance, regulation, and belief in the mission and vision. 


Larry Yatch, a ten-year US Navy SEAL-turned-elite leadership strategist, has been helping senior executives optimize their personal growth and leadership strategy for superior performance. Through his book, How Leadership (Actually) Works: A Navy Seal’s Complete System For Coordinating Teams, he shares his six-pillar system that companies can use to achieve success.


In this episode, Darius and Larry discuss the similarities and differences between special operators and entrepreneurs. They also talk about self-regulation, self-fulfillment, leadership, core values, confidence, ambition, and a lot more!


Topics include:

  • What inspired Larry to join the military
  • How Larry found out about Navy SEALs in 7th grade
  • Larry looks back at his 10-year experience as a Navy SEAL
  • Self-regulation as a key to succeed
  • The similarities between Navy SEALs and entrepreneurs
  • What “hungry ghost” teach us about fulfillment
  • How Larry led the largest Special Operations in US history
  • What motivated Larry to start his company, SEAL Team Leaders
  • Larry explains his book, How Leadership (Actually) Works 
  • The benefits of values-based leadership
  • Defining the line between ego and confidence
  • The two tools Larry leverages for his company
  • What separates those who want to be better from those who actually become better
  • And other topics…
