SEAL Team 6 Operator DJ Shipley Explains DEVGRU Selection, The 'Be A Pro' Mentality & More

In today's episode, Jordan sits down with Navy SEAL Team 6 (DEVGRU) Tier 1 operator DJ Shipley. DJ opens up about the creative side few people ever see, from writing rhyming roasts for the teams to the visceral pull of Ludovico Einaudi and the ready room ritual of playing the Last of the Mohicans score before going to work. From there the conversation turns to selection, where DJ describes the single most meaningful moment of his life, hearing his name called for the squadron he had wanted above all else, and the six months of purpose-built training that got him there. He lays out the philosophy that now drives him, the Be A Pro mentality, built on the idea that greatness is simply discipline and routine executed without compromise. He talks about the performance standards he created, why he still passes them despite what the job has taken from his body, and the reason everybody should do the same.
