  • Mark Greene is a former Navy SEAL with 20 years of distinguished service, and he is one of my oldest friends. Out of the 180 trainees that started day one of BUD/s class 212, Mark is one of the original 18 who successfully graduated.
    From enlisted SEAL to a transition into the officer ranks, Mark's story encompasses multiple combat deployments and service on both East and West Coast SEAL Teams, including time as a sniper instructor and Special Warfare Combat Crewman OIC (Officer in Charge).
    Post-military, Mark transitioned to a fundraising role at USC, and now his latest achievement is as an author. Mark's book "Unsealed," is a testament to resilience, transformation, and the unyielding spirit of a warrior turned writer.

    Right when I was starting to think, only Goggins, Bigsby, Quarles, and Adeleke were the only cool Black SEALS, Andy brought us this awesome brother, Mark Greene! For my neighborhood/community, we need to see these guys 💯. Thank you Andy 👍🏾

      I worked for the Teams as a Comms guy for most of my time in the Navy. One of the last things I did was work for the exercise control group that put Team 10 through their TGIT, basically the last exercise before a team deploys. Their CO was black. He was the most intelligent and competent SEAL officer I’ve met. And I’ve worked for a lot of SEAL commanders, good ones too. If he stays in the Navy and doesn’t screw up he will 100% be an Admiral one day.

Honestly this is probably my favorite episode. Mark has a great story without having to put a bunch of his fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. Left most all that completely out and still a bad ass poscast

    Really struck a chord with me when Mark talked about saving money as a 12yo only to have to give it to his folks for bills...largely because of poor decision making. Boy oh boy does that sound familiar. The cool thing is, if you're lucky, you get to grow up & lead your own life. Great lessons.

He has incredible critical thinking skills that are unmatched among similar podcast hosts who generally present as self-righteous and "you can't tell me nothing" attitudes. Huge fan of Andy.
