Mike Burns:\\xa0 Previously Senior Director for SEAL Qualification Training at The Naval Special Warfare Command in Coronado, CA. Here, he led a 40-person team executing the operations and administration throughout 62 weeks of high-risk training for 500 SEAL Candidates across the Western United States.

Other notable positions and projects include Team Leader for multiple SEAL, Joint Forces, and multinational teams while executing over 100 combat operations in conflict zones around the world. Mike is the recipient of numerous military awards; most notably the Bronze Star Medal with Valor and Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Valor for leadership and heroism during combat operations.

This is an episode I\\u2019ve been so excited to record and release because I\\u2019ve known Mike Burns since I was 10 years old. We started out as competitors in the lacrosse field and went on to be college roommates and good friends. Mike is one of the handful of people on this planet that I have a ludicrous amount of respect for and I think there are takeaways in this conversation for everyone no matter what you do.

Prior to joining the Navy, Mike worked as a Sales and Trading Analyst at Morgan Stanley. He received his B.A. in history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Mike was the Captain of North Carolina\\u2019s Lacrosse team and went on to play professionally after college. Michael is an MBA Candidate at UC-Berkeley Haas School of Business.
