SEAL Team Seven Defense Strategies Group Mike O'Dowd | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 175

Anyone can be Special Operations - or at least, that's what Mike O'Dowd thinks. To him, Special Operations is a mindset - one about never accepting failure and refusing to settle for mediocrity. He's a 9 year Navy SEAL Vet with SEAL Team Seven, having deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. He's served as a Breacher, Fighter, Waterman, Weapons Instructor, and he's even qualified as an NCAA Division 1 Athlete in rowing. He even founded Defense Strategies Training Group, a collective of Special Operations Combat Veterans dedicated to providing world-class security training with decades of real-world Special Operations Experience. Safe to say, Mike's seen his fair share of hard times. Fortunately, like any problem, it's rarely something a little hard work (and maybe a few explosives) can't solve. ---------- Train with Defense Strategies Group at https://www.defensestrategies.us Support Mike O'Dowd - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mike_oscar_delta YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5bH6wg7ln8lTc7BVMJ-wDw ---------- Sponsors: Beam Take advantage of Beam's biggest sale of the year and get up to 40% off for a limited time when you go to https://www.shopbeam.com/MIKEDROP and use promo code MIKEDROP at checkout! ---------- Ned Visit https://www.helloned.com/mikedrop to get 15% off your first order using promo code MIKEDROP.
