Former Navy SEAL Pat Dossett on Stress Management & Creating Healthy Habits
09/09/20 • 81 min
Pat Dossett spent 9 years serving as a US Navy SEAL. Following his service, Pat earned an MBA from the Wharton School of Business as a Tillman Military Scholar and spent three years at Google before leaving to co-found the company Madefor, where he currently serves as President and CEO.
Lets talk a little bit about Madefor because it’s a pretty phenomenal program...
Madefor is a simple 10-month method created by the very best minds in science and health, that transforms your brain, body and I’d even venture to say spirit.
Each month you receive a kit focused on the science, benefits, and steps necessary to adopt one foundational habit.
Individually these habits might not seem like much, but collectively they work together to shift your mindset and behaviors.
I’m extremely excited to highlight this program because it’s founded on a lot of the principles that we discuss on the show and provides an applicable methodology to achieve the changes many of us are seeking.
And Pat, super generously, created a 20% discount code for all of you School Your Soul listeners. Just use MFSOUL at checkout if you end up signing up.
In today’s episode we explore:
- Pat’s journey to become a Navy SEAL
- Some techniques to manage stress and discomfort
- How he gets through difficult moments (as a SEAL and in life)
- The difference between a growth mindset and fixed mindset
- And much much more...
Also, I realized I didn’t say this in the episode - so I want to say it now -THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE PAT! And all of the others who have selflessly put everything on the line to serve our country.
Hope you guys enjoy the show!

DARIN OLIEN: Heart-Focused Living
Hey guys! Welcome to a new episode of School Your Soul!
Boy oh boy are you all in for a treat today. Our guest is Darin Olien!
Darin is an absolute GEM. He is one of those people that carries this beautiful, charismatic, loving energy and it seems like he leads a magical life.
I was connected to Darin through my husband who absolutely loves him so before we even spoke I was a huge fan of all things Darin Olien and his MANY endeavors...
To name a few...
Darin is the co-host with Zac Efron on the super popular Netflix show “Down to Earth” and host of the #1 Health & Wellness podcast The Darin Olien Show.
He’s also a highly recognized exotic superfoods hunter, supplement formulator, and author of the New York Times bestselling book, “SuperLife.”
He worked with fitness-company Beachbody to formulate one of the top super food shakes in the US called, “Shakeology.”
He is one of the founders of BarukasTM, a new super nut from the Savannah of Brazil. (Oh my gosh you guys Barukas are soooo good!) And through sustainable business practices the company is committed to supporting this important biome in Brazil by planting 20 million Baruzeita trees.
And early this year he launched a health APP called 121 Tribe created to help people learn about whole food, plant-based eating, habit tracking and exercise.
And most importantly he’s an unbelievably kind human.
In today’s episode we explore:
- How his Netflix show “Down to Earth” changed his life
- The impact of losing everything he owned to wildfires
- How we can recapitulate our energy
- The importance of vulnerability
- How he stays connected to universal consciousness
- Why “Down to Earth” would have been something totally different if it was up to him and why he’s glad it ended up like it did
- And much much more
Darin has an infectious enthusiasm for life and he is truly inspiring. I guarantee this guy gets you fired up to make some changes in your life. I know you’re going to love every minute as much as I did.
