Zack Ferguson is a former Navy SEAL with multiple deployments to Iraq, Yemen, Africa, and the United Arab Emirates.

In this episode of the Peace • Power • & Purpose Podcast, we go beyond the Trident, often referred to as the “Budweiser” and into the man behind it.

Zack served as a Lead Sniper, Pointman, JTAC, Combatives Instructor, and Weapons Ordnance Specialist, operating at the highest level of special operations.

But this conversation goes deeper than combat.

We talk about identity after the military, discipline beyond the mission, mental resilience, and what it takes to lead when the structure is gone.

When the uniform comes off… who are you?

Now a co-owner of Defense Strategies Group, Zack trains civilians in real-world self-defense while continuing to lead through mentorship, martial arts, and teaching.

This is a real conversation about purpose, responsibility, and the mindset forged through elite service.
