I kind of just woke up and it was me again at one point during the weekend. I know I was a seal and

everybody always says, oh, we can't relate to what you've gone through, but everybody has trauma.

Life's hard sometimes. Right. Life's good, but life's hard. Everybody deals with trauma, no matter what.

Welcome to the art of accomplishment, where we explore how deepening connection with ourselves and others

leads to creating the life we want with ourselves and others leads to creating

the life we want with enjoyment and ease. I'm Brett Kistler, here today with my co-host, Joe Hudson.

So Will is a, he's a retired Navy SEALAL who I met in a program that was working with,

working with SEALs who had suffered traumatic brain injury and other psychological traumas

from, from war and from just anything else related to that kind of a lifestyle.

And Will served in the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group as an operator and dog handler. He was on the

bin Laden raid. Okay, wait, what is that thing that you just mentioned? The opera, what, blah, blah, blah.

Oh, that's me reading off of his author. Wait, Will, what does that mean? Yeah, Will, what is that?

Basically, still Team 6. Okay, all right. That's like the badasses of the badasses, right? Like, that's like... It takes a lot to be a seal alone, and then you have to go through a certain amount of extra training to actually make it to be selected to go there as well. So it's quite the task, yeah, to say the least. Yeah. Yeah. And other notable information here, you were on the Bin Laden raid with your dog, Cairo, who joined you on hundreds of missions. That is correct. I was the dog handler on the bin Laden raid with Cairo. Yeah, that's what I wrote the book about an ordinary dog. Yeah. What kind of breed was it? He was a Belgian Malin Wall.

Oh, wow. It's kind of like a German shepherd. Yeah. Ish. Shorter hair, a little more agile, a little smaller. The shepherds are like 100, 120 pounds, you know. They get pretty big. We skydive with them. We fast rope. We got to hoist them up walls walls we got to carry them you know it's so having

a 120 pound shepherd or the mouths are 60 it's a 70 you know they're a little bit lighter shorter

hair we work in hot environments so you don't need your dogs getting heat stroke just it's beneficial

wow do they have that kind of sloped back like shorter hind leg thing that the German shepherds do? I think the shepherds have problems with their hips. I don't think Miles have that same issue. I could be wrong on that, but Mals are a little different breed. I think they have a little more energy. I mean, there's nothing wrong with Shepherds. They're really smart dogs, and they're amazing, but those Mowls, they're really athletic there's some there's some monsters

all right cool yeah okay that's i'm sure not what we're talking about today if you're a bad guy hiding

they're going to find you they're going to get to you no matter what yeah they'll die trying

let's see if we can make it through the bio now, right? It was that it? Was that the whole

bio? I mean, there's more. I mean, he's also got a silver star and a purple heart, which I think

is definitely worth mentioning. The context in which we met is interesting, which was in working

...
