As Commanding Officer of SEAL Team TWO, Mike led a two thousand–person Special Operations Task Force in Southeastern Afghanistan. He has been held at gunpoint and threatened with execution. He’s jumped out of a building rigged to explode, helped amputate a teammate’s leg, and made countless split-second life-and-death decisions. In addition to a twenty-year career as a SEAL, Mike was a White House Fellow, served two years as Director of Defense Policy and Strategy at the National Security Council, and has worked directly with both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. In his new book Never Enough, Mike Hayes helps readers apply high-stakes lessons about excellence, agility, and meaning across their personal and professional lives.00:00 - Subscribe for Tech & Business News Daily 00:16 - Mike’s Intro and Background 00:55 - How The Book Helps Gold Star Families 01:47 - Why “Never Enough” 02:49 - Three Pillars of Never Enough 06:51 - Don’t Have a Great Day, Make it Great 09:52 - Knowing When to Push Back 13:02 - Saved American Soldiers by Disobeying an Order 17:08 - Never Enough Principals in Historical Generations 20:18 - Building Bridges Between Ideologies 23:04 - Instilling a Value System 28:33 - Growing Up With Service 29:52 - Building a Family Around Never Enough Principals 31:49 - Thoughts on U.S. Tech Patriotism 37:31 - Building a Logical Process You Can Trust40:08 - Closing RemarksOriginally Aired: 03/09/21 #NavySEAL #Leadership #NeverEnough
