Ep 28: Joe Dawson: Navy SEAL and Veles Industries

Joe Dawson highlights his 14 year military career as a Navy SEAL, including incorporating lessons learned from the civilian competitive shooting world to NSW's sniper training. We talk about multiple injuries, and his attitude to get him through numerous training accidents/injuries. We get philosophical on raising children, your "why," and how to view the world. This was a great conversation that I'm happy to bring to you. Be sure you're following Sketchy Boyz Watch Club on IG as well as Facebook, and check out the site.
