William Branum

William Branum is a highly decorated Navy
SEAL veteran who served in the United States military
for 26 years. During his extensive military career, he
honed his leadership skills, cultivated a strong mindset,
and gained invaluable experience in high-pressure
situations as a sniper instructor, leading teams on
operations ranging from protecting the interim Iraqi
elected officials to direct action missions in Baghdad
and Afghanistan as well as undersea missions that
were required to be approved by the President of the
United States. After retiring from the military, William
has made it his mission to share the lessons he
learned with others as a speaker, author, and
business, host of the Navy SEAL Mindset podcast, and
leadership advisor.

William’s expertise in leadership and mindset has
been sought after by organizations ranging from small
Universities to Fortune 500 companies. He draws on
his experiences to provide practical advice on how to cultivate a leadership style that inspires and motivates others, and how to develop the resilience needed to succeed in challenging environments.

William’s commitment to serving others drove him
to launch Naked Warrior Recovery, through which he
supports several philanthropic causes, including the
Navy SEAL Foundation, Centurion Military Alliance,
and 22Zero.

Through his work, William continues to inspire
individuals and organizations to embrace the qualities that have made him a successful leader: discipline, dedication, and a willingness to push beyond one’s limits.
