Ret. Tier 1 SEAL Eric Frohardt | The UNAFRAID Podcast - Episode 16

  • Who is Eric Frohardt? Some would say he's a phenomenally lucky former SEAL with 12 years at ST-5 and DevGru with Eddie; others would say he's a Chief Operating Officer at DEFY with an appetite for alpine climbing. Between losing a kidney, getting blown up, and nearly biting the dust on more than one occasion, it's safe to say Eric's got a lot to talk about. That's why he's sitting down with Eddie and Keith to talk about jumping into the SEAL teams with both feet, serving with Eddie during a fateful 2008 deployment, transitioning into the fitness business with performance beverages at DEFY, and somehow managing to walk the tightrope between fighting and family along the way.

    Hi Mr Penny, I just finished your podcast with Shawn Ryan and your testimony was one of the most powerful I have ever seen. I don’t know if you realized it yet, but God is about to put your platform on a rocket ship to spread the Good News.
    Keep it up man. I pray God will continue to use you and help develop UNAFRAID. Thank you!

    Eddie, I'm so Grateful for all you've done and continue to do. Your walk with CHRIST is refreshing. I am a Desert Storm vet(Army) but my identity is in CHRIST. You guys are near and dear to my heart... WE lost J.T. Tumilson, my wife's cousin in Extortion 17. Tragic day for all. May our Father continue to Rain His Blessing on you through YESHUA... Go Crush It!

    I think out of this entire interview, one of the greatest things i took away from it, and not to take anything away from these guys at all. Alex Honnold is extremely badass. Obviously everyone in their own respective environment makes a difference, but just shows the difference in mindsets.

    Incredible podcast! Thank you for sharing! It was also incredible to hear the story is sharing faith. It is difficult for many in the military and first responders. I am proud to know that warriors like you guys are out there!

    Outstanding. Loved listening to the different, yet shared perspectives of what you both went through. Mr. Frohardt was a perfect guest for your channel/podcast.
    Off subject: Super stoked to hear you with Shawn Ryan.
    Lastly, also off-subject. Thank you very much for the pre-Italy advice. Helped tremendously, even kept us from some shenanigans twice... faux checkpoint, and wearing backpacks in certain areas.

    The intro on your podcast is awesome, really well done. Grateful you put these out. I never served, but hearing what men who did serve went through puts a whole new perspective on the way I see my problems. And I’m eternally grateful for the way it keeps my pride in check, and motivates me to keep going. You may not be perfect, but y’all are the men younger generations need to be learning from.
