Warrior Enigma
CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE WHO EMBODY THE WARRIOR MINDSET!
ENIGMA: (noun) A person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand.
A warrior's mind is not always about war - that is the enigma! Warriors exist in every aspect of human life. There are people pursuing life goals all over the world in countless areas of focus who have adopted a "won't quit, can't lose" mentality. THESE ARE WARRIORS!
I will be talking with these Warriors to discuss what drives them to be successful, lessons learned along the way, insights and guidance on how to cultivate a strong mental outlook, and a plethora of current social or political topics of modern concern ... plus a bunch on nonsense!

Warrior Enigma
001. Ben Umayam
On this episode of Warrior Enigma, host Jeff Ottele sits down with his good friend and former military mentor, retired Senior Chief Petty Officer Ben Umayam. Ben served in the Navy for 26 years, 20 of which as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician. He deployed 11 times, 6 of which were combat tours, and was TWICE awarded the Bronze Star with "V" device for valor. In this podcast we talk about parts of his decorated Special Operations career and how those experiences effect him now, we dive into his family and his views on war having children of service age, and we tackle polarizing topics such as females in combat roles and DEI in military leadership.
