Brandon Webb: The SEAL Who Trained Chris Kyle & Marcus Luttrell

Brandon Webb ran the Navy SEAL sniper program that trained the two most famous SEALs in history - "American Sniper" Chris Kyle and "Lone Survivor" Marcus Luttrell, who credits that training with saving his life. His own story is just as remarkable. Kicked out of his home (which happened to be a boat his parents owned and his family lived in at the time) at 16, Brandon fought his way through the Navy's brutal BUD/S selection, deployed after 9/11, and became Course Manager of the SEAL Sniper Course - where his mental management system cut the failure rate from 30% to just 1% without lowering a single standard. Then he lost it all: $4 million of investors' money, his marriage, and five years of work - before rebuilding from zero into a New York Times bestselling author (The Red Circle) and founder of the largest military content network on the internet, reaching 50+ million readers. In this conversation, Justin and Brandon cover: The mental system that cut SEAL sniper failure from 30% to 1% - visualization, emotional regulation, and rewriting your self-talk Surviving Hell Week, and why the "most likely to fail" label made him unbreakable Training Marcus Luttrell - and the reunion after Operation Red Wings Losing $4M and his marriage in the same year, and the comeback playbook Choosing family over military promotion Raising resilient kids, ADHD as an advantage, and why talent is overrated Whether you're leading a company, raising a family, or fighting through your own worst chapter, this episode is a masterclass in refusing to Surrender.
