The swim is why we sat down. Bill Brown — Navy SEAL, Iraq veteran, attorney, and the man behind the New York City SEAL Swim — joins us for a conversation that started with the swim and became so much more.

Service. Community. Perception. Mindset. The practical work of navigating today's complexities from a man who's already faced the hardest ones. Unedited. Unscripted. One man's journey to serve, support, inform, and love all that is dear to him.

This conversation includes discussion of active, ongoing litigation. Bill's account. Bill's words. His fight, his story, told whole.

In this episode:
→ The New York City SEAL Swim — Liberty, Ellis Island, 9/11
→ Life after the Trident and what identity means when the mission ends
→ Adventure therapy as a healthy outlet for stress
→ The transition every combat veteran faces
→ Why speaking up matters

Fight-or-Fl1ght. Real conversation. Real people. Real stakes.

Our meditation for all - Desmond Tutu said it best: "My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together."
