Join our conversation with former Navy SEAL and SEAL Team 6 (DEVGRU) operator Eddie Penney. With a 20-year military career starting as a Marine right out of high school, Eddie shares his grueling path through BUD/S and into the elite ranks of DEVGRU. He opens up about high-stakes missions, the chaos of divorce, and the life-altering moment he gained sole custody of his three kids while still active duty. From adrenaline-fueled operations to navigating single fatherhood, Eddie reveals how he rebuilt his identity after leaving SEAL Team 6, as detailed in his new book Unafraid. This raw conversation dives deep into mental toughness, overcoming adversity, and leading with purpose.
