About this episode

DJ Shipley discusses the unique mindset and culture of DEVGRU compared to other Tier 1 units.

In this most replayed moment from Jordan's conversation with DJ Shipley, SEAL Team 6 operator DJ breaks down the mindset, culture and obsession that separates DEVGRU from every other fighting force on the planet. DJ explains why hard skills alone will never be enough without the right mindset, how elite operators learn to read teammates through body language alone in the chaos of a firefight, and why the men at the very top of Tier 1 units would pay to do the job rather than be paid for it.
