    1. Neil Dyer | The Making of a Leader
    2025/05/13
    The Making of a Leader: From Rebellion to Responsibility with Neil Dyer Before he became a 20-year Navy SEAL veteran, Neil Dyer was a teenager on the edge of self-destruction—skating the streets of Austin, running from responsibility, and nearly losing himself before he ever found his purpose. In our first episode of Unspoken Knowledge, Neil shares his raw, unfiltered journey from rebellious youth to elite leader—and the hard lessons that shaped him along the way. This conversation isn’t about medals or missions. It’s about identity, humility, and the quiet courage it takes to become someone others can trust. We talk about what leadership really means when the fear fades… when the yelling stops… and when the only thing left is whether the people around you believe in you. Whether you're coaching a team, raising a family, or leading from the front—Neil’s story will challenge you to let go of ego and lead from something deeper. If leadership begins with understanding yourself—this is where to start.

    Building Leaders That Last | Matthew Brakeman In this episode, we sit down with Matthew Brakeman, a former Marine Scout Sniper, executive protection specialist, and co-founder of Warriors Rise, to explore a truth too often left unspoken: You are not your title. You are who you choose to become when no one is watching. Raised in a Special Forces household, Matthew’s early life was steeped in discipline, service, and expectation. But his path—one shaped by hardship, identity conflict, and faith—reveals what elite leadership really requires: resilience, presence, and purpose built on something deeper than achievement. This episode isn’t just for veterans or athletes—it’s for anyone who has ever asked: *What happens when the uniform comes off? *Who am I when the role ends? *And how do I lead others to find that answer for themselves? If you're a coach, mentor, teacher, or leader of any kind, this conversation will reframe the way you think about identity, performance, and the kind of leadership that actually lasts. What You’ll Learn: Why tying identity to a role—military, athletic, or otherwise—is dangerous The hidden identity crisis athletes face when the game ends. How coaches can help players lead themselves through failure, not just success The mindset shift from proving your worth to living your purpose What it means to build your life on values that don’t crack under pressure. Listen now and rediscover what it means to lead with integrity, not ego.
