It’s always an honor when military personnel come on the show. Whether they are active duty or veterans, I believe we all can learn much from each of them. Whether it’s leadership, resiliency, overcoming obstacles and developing the proper mindset and so much more.
My next guest is Boyd Renner.
Years ago, Boyd went into a Navy Recruiting office in Colorado with a dream on his mind of becoming a NAVY SEAL. Instead of hearing words of encouragement, the recruiter laughed at him and told him he was too small, too weak and he would never become a SEAL. Thank God Boyd didn’t listen to that SHIT and instead used it as his fuel to become a NAVY SEAL, and then he went on to become a member of legendary SEAL TEAM 6 Community where he served with honor and distinction until his retirement. Highly respected and decorated, I had the honor meeting and speaking with Boyd at Conclave of Warriors in December.
He truly is an American patriot and hero, and you are going to love the show. We talk about his amazing journey as a SEAL, life lessons for everyone, his work with Endeavor Life Sciences and the next steps in his life.

One response to “Ep. 345: Boyd Renner: SEAL TEAM 6 Operator, Entrepreneur & Co Founder of Endeavor Life Sciences”
I met Boyd in 4th grade. We were both in Mrs. McClintock’s class in Albuquerque,NM. It was the end of the year and the teacher was asking everyone about their summer plans. Both of us said we were moving to Colorado, what a crazy surprise it was… that we both moved to the same tiny town of Pagosa Springs. We were in the same elementary school again! I really enjoyed this pod cast and hearing about Boyd’s life. I had heard that he became a Navy Seal. It was great to hear his voice again. Thank you for your service Boyd.
