Doug Kiesewetter - Green Beret, SOFLETE Head of Content, ex Oil Field Roughneck

Before he became a Special Forces Engineer and Weapons Sergeant and served in Afghanistan, Iraq and Africa, Doug Kiesewetter was a college dropout whose primary motivation was drinking as much beer as possible and working on his Jeep. A tour of duty as a roughneck in the oil fields of Texas pointed him in a new direction. Still a Green Beret today, Doug is also the content director of SOFLETE, one of the most innovative and reality-based companies in the tactical fitness and human performance space with some of the most interesting content. I enjoy getting to talk to Doug, because he has lived a colorful life, to put it mildly, and knows how to tell a story. In this episode we talk about failure, both self-induced and otherwise, perseverance and pro tips for how to order food when your boss offers to buy you breakfast. You're not going to want to miss that last anecdote. You can find Doug on Instagram @dougtheelephantslayer and follow SOFLETE @sofletehq and https://soflete.com.
