You’ll want to buckle up for this episode of Beyond the O.R., featuring former Navy SEAL and popular Animal Planet and Discovery Channel host Joel Lambert. If you’ve ever wondered what it means to serve with the special forces (or why Host Dr. Kevin Brenner so admires their extreme discipline and toughness), this fast-paced tour of duty will give you the inside scoop. Joel is sharing harrowing tales of survival, evasion, resistance and escape as well as providing philosophical insights into the traits that lie at the heart of this brotherhood like none other. Those who aspire to serve as SEALS demonstrate a fundamental truth: Prevailing in life – whether as a civilian or in the armed forces – is all about mindset. You’ll learn what it takes to sustain through the brutal rigors of BUD/S training and the path our guest chose in pursuing this uniquely aspirational way of life (a childhood dream). Dr. B. and Co-Host Elizabeth Morales pepper Joel with all the questions you’ve wanted to ask about what defines grit, where it comes from and how we can cultivate it in our own lives! “(SEAL training) is a pathway to self-realization and enlightenment,” says Joel. “It’s a peeling of the onion of the layers of your soul.”
