Here, he led a 40-person team executing the operations and administration throughout 62 weeks of high-risk training for 500 SEAL Candidates across the Western United States.

Mike is the recipient of numerous military awards; most notably the Bronze Star Medal with Valor and Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Valor for leadership and heroism during combat operations. This is an episode I've been so excited to record and release because I've known Mike Burns since I was 10 years old. We started out as competitors in the lacrosse field and went on to be college roommates and good friends. Mike is one of the handful of people on this planet that I have a ludicrous amount of respect for and I think there are takeaways in this conversation for everyone no matter what you do. Prior to joining the Navy, Mike worked as a Sales and Trading Analyst at Morgan Stanley. He received his B.A. in history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Mike was the Captain of North Carolina's Lacrosse team and went on to play professionally after college. Michael is an MBA Candidate at UC-Berkeley Haas School of Business.
