The Mindset of a Warrior. The Bravery of a Soldier. The Life of a Navy SEAL: Be Empowered by William Branum

About this episode

William Branum is a retired Navy SEAL with 26 years of service. He has served on both traditional SEAL Teams, taught as a SEAL Sniper Instructor and served on Teams that specialized in undersea operations, who’s missions must be approved by the President of the United States. He led major combat operations ranging from protecting the interim Iraqi elected officials to Direct Action missions in Baghdad and across Ambar province.

After retiring from the military in 2018 he realized that he was suffering from physical and psychological symptoms that negatively impacted his well-being and quality of life.

Migraines, severe anxiety, chronic pains, difficulty focusing, difficulty sleeping/falling asleep, and depression are some of the symptoms he struggled with on a daily basis.

And just like so many others, he used alcohol and prescription drugs to mask the symptoms. But then William discovered CBD and it changed his life.

It had such a profound impact on his life that he created his own CBD company called Naked Warrior Recovery.

Today, William Branum is the founder and CEO of Naked Warrior Recovery, a CBD company focused on the recovery of veterans and first responders.
