EP 103: Navy SEAL Mindset for Business and Life with Holland Romero

Holland “H” Romero served 24 years as a Navy SEAL, retiring as a Senior Chief Petty Officer. In this conversation, Ryan “Birdman” Parrott sits down with Holland to cover his path from a chance encounter at age nineteen that introduced him to the SEAL Teams, to enduring BUD/S, and building a distinguished career in Naval Special Warfare.

Holland shares how he transitioned from the Teams into entrepreneurship, founding Legacy Forge Mindset to mentor executives, athletes, and organizations. He explains how resilience, empathy, and faith define elite leadership, and why health, recovery, and balance matter as much as performance.
