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

- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- 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!
the one were he cries like a bitch
The life y’all have lived can never be honored enough. Unreal appreciation for y’all
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!
More mr penny! Lol thanks for joining RUclips and sharing. Thanks for everything fellow American
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!
Two of my favorite people. Great Americans. Great husbands and dads. Great men.
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.
Who's gonna be Shawn Ryan? Eddie or Eric? Didn't catch that part

Nice. Shawn is the GOAT.
I watched this entire interview. This man is amazing and I love him. I wish I could help him and maybe I can or will be able too. Thank you for sharing this with us. Rangers lead the way, Seals are the best.
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.
Never failed an evolution, amazing! Is Eric Frohardt also making his own written and read audiobook?!
Just bought the Unafraid Audiobook on Audible, excited and fired up!
Whatch need .
You guys are absolutely incredible. Just in awe of here. Please keep making these podcasts they are great!
Top Notch Eddie, as always. Thanks for the killa content brother man, keep em coming👍💪🇺🇲🕶❤️🤍💙🦅🗽
These videos are so helpful. Wish I had them when I was a kid
Great podcast fellas!
PLEASE you need better sound quality. A lot of your RUclips audience, this is bedtime listen while falling asleep and zoom calls are not soft enough.
But glad I found your channel! Good luck and keep it up brotha
Solid. Can’t wait to pick up some defy. Hope y’all send it up north. 😅
I'm in central Florida. bus figure 8s are a blast to watch. we talked years ago about buying a bus and doing it but we never did. our local track closed to normal racing.
love this episode eddie
Great exchange of information! Really appreciated the reference to the DAV which prompted me (after approximately 30 years) to reach out to them to pursue a rating increase!
I wish they did video in person. It wouldn't have been 100 times better. Good stuff though!
Extraordinary men. Much respect 🇺🇸
Great show Eddie. As a normal citizen I’ve learned so much from the podcast. Thanks for your service bro 🇺🇸💪🏼
Always interesting listening to operators dealing with normal stuff during times of being on active duty ,just how difficult it can be sometimes .Missions of course are a favorite I would guess for most people too.
Much love and respect to you and your families! From Iowa 🇺🇸💪
Truly amazing content
So much humility
So much honor
Great podcast thank you for your service .
Informative interview. Thank you
God Bless the fearless Seals we have to protect us who sacrifice everything.
Once A Marine Always A Marine Mr. Penney. 😆. Parris Island my hometown gave you some memorable scars remember that. Lol.. But all jokes aside these are 3 good guys on the show. After hearing both Eddie n Eric story I can more confidence n my work space n around people.
DAV is amazing. The retired Marine, Vietnam veteran, who ran the 1 man office in Quantico, helped me out in 2015. DAV delivers results
Far out... Great Video
Peace from Scotland.
Hi guys , thanks again for your uploads very enjoyable, I would love to here Eddie’s thoughts on others tear 1 units , what they were like to work with and be around? Thanks M
Great podcast guys
Hooyah brothers. Great interview 👍🌠💪
Penney looks like Jason Hayes from the Seal Team show.
Louie is saved! He's in heaven..let go of that regret! He saved us being a modern day Savior. He risked his life for us to live. #freedomIsntFree
Eddie...
Thank you for this podacst!
Question... Respectfully.
Did they model the 'Jason Hayes' character after you..?
The similarities are uncanny!
Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
Awesome interview. Very interesting dude.
Great content
Good episode. Keep up the good work 🤙🏼
Does anybody see the resemblance between the host, &
David Boreanaz😳??????
He looks like an accountant, but could take you out with his pinky.
Not this guy...
Easy bad ass ol John Doe
Thats the specialty of DevGru
They look like (and are) the nicest people on the planet.
Until...
You give them a rifle and they start clearing rooms...
That's when the SEAL comes out.
Eddie did you ever work with JTF2 in Afganistan
I've had the same surgery same scar! I'm feeling your pain.🤪
I was in Baqubah in 04 rough AO. Mufrek traffic circle was not fun to go through.
Eddy, did you read all those books behind you?
Also, read your book. Very moving.
hey eddie and eric, you guys new adam well? Adam Brown? I read his book, its a great book, have any funny stories or cool moments with him?
I agree, it’d be awesome to hear some Adam brown stories
Hello sir it would be great if you could add timestamps a lot of podcasts do this and it really helps the viewer
Did you guys ever meet DJ Shipley in the teams
It all started with Natty light haha.
Is 'Art of War' by Sun Tzu on those shelves?
I was in NAM during the shit.
what's that soundtrack on 1:00
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Kettlebells are a game changer is fitness on all levels for a number of different sports/pursuits-especially for females.
Modern day Saviors 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💜🥳😂😇❤️🐶🐺
DUDES 44 LOOKS LIKE HE'S 20.
💯👍🇺🇲
aka Bones.
Yah works in mysterious ways! 😮🎉❤😂 ....deeeeeeep breathes. God's not done with you yet. ☝️😉
Wait a minute, this guy was just talking about being married his whole time in the teams and is now saying he was in Afghanistan engaging Afghani stans! Thats horrible and im sure those poor Stans believed every promise he ever made them and never expected him to donkey thump them from behind! (Same thing as donkey punch only with a kablowiee)
You guys are such great motivators. Thanks for your service. #GODwins
