Please visit our website to get more information: https://wildchaosshow.com/ Chris made it through Hell Week, survived pool comp, and reached the third phase, only to be stopped by a herniated back. His story isn’t about failure, it’s about mental resilience and how setbacks can be used as stepping stones for future success. Chris breaks down the mindset that kept him going through some of the toughest physical and mental challenges of his life. He explains the mental frameworks that helped him avoid quitting, including “monking out” to focus, breaking tasks into smaller pieces, and celebrating small wins. He also provides an honest look at what BUD/S training is really like, beyond the myths, including the toughest parts like Hell Week and the emotional toll of watching friends ring the bell. After leaving SEAL training, Chris found a new mission in creating Project Linear, a veteran-owned performance brand designed for military, law enforcement, and elite athletes. His brand emphasizes integrity, functionality, and ethical sourcing while supporting veteran causes. This episode is perfect for anyone who’s faced setbacks, wants to build resilience, or is interested in the mindset behind elite military training.
