Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Jed Snyder, a former saturation diver who spent 17 years living in a steel chamber 1,000 feet underwater. Jed survived extreme danger, including 9 cases of the bends, knife fights, and shark encounters, made serious cash, and then used his no-fear discipline to build a successful hockey empire, turning the Helena Bighorns into national champions.
Jed gets into the insane reality of the world's deadliest job, the mindset that forges unbreakable entrepreneurs, and how extreme danger creates a unique mental edge. If you want raw lessons on discipline, risk, and turning a brutal past into real success, this episode is for you.
