   28: Pat Dossett on Naval Special Warfare, Self-Mastery, and Rewriting the Narrative

   In this episode of Hold The Standard, host Logan Gelbrich sits down with Pat Dossett, former Navy SEAL and co-founder of Madefor, for a powerful conversation about identity, leadership, and the hidden cost of chasing external validation. Pat unpacks his journey from high-stakes military service to the world of behavior change and human development, reflecting on how his years in Naval Special Warfare shaped his mindset and how he had to unlearn parts of it to fully grow. What emerges is a deeply thoughtful take on high performance, vulnerability, and the courage to evolve beyond the roles we’ve been assigned. Together, they explore: • What it takes to transition from elite military service to civilian impact • The role of daily practices in shaping identity • How trauma, ego, and purpose intersect in leadership • Why discipline is most powerful when it's rooted in compassion • The internal war between “doing more” and actually being better This episode invites listeners into a nuanced and honest reflection on what it means to pursue growth not as a performance, but as a way of living with integrity.

   The Gang on Growth: Carl Paoli, Tait Fletcher, and Dr. Cara Miller on Identity, Resistance, and Becoming

   In this special roundtable episode of Hold The Standard, host Logan Gelbrich is joined by three dynamic thinkers Carl Paoli (movement pioneer), Tait Fletcher (actor, entrepreneur, and former fighter), and Dr. Cara Miller (organizational psychologist and leadership coach) for a raw and revealing conversation about growth, resistance, and who we become in the process. What happens when high performers from radically different worlds come together to talk truth? You get a conversation that spans ego, vulnerability, mastery, and the ever-present tension between who you are and who you’re becoming. Together, they explore: • The invisible walls we build to protect ourselves from discomfort • How leadership is less about power and more about responsibility • What happens when you stop outsourcing your identity to external metrics • The psychology of becoming versus achieving • The real work of showing up in integrity in business, relationships, and life This is not a highlight reel. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the inner lives of people who push themselves to the edge—and choose to keep going anyway.

[…] Yeah, ship it, ship it. And that's lovely. And when you've done that in the past, I can think of a couple illustrations, but maybe we can offer those later to work with. But when you've done that in the past in a generous way, people have with me. Okay, so when you've done it in the past with me involved. That's when I think people observe something like, whoa, like, there's a third thing there. And what did it take to get that so that that kind of work was done? Or like, I see you doing like this cool quality thing that looks very different or very uncommon. And like, what does it take between people to have the space and the ability to do that third thing, which seems really important. […]
