Dan Schilling: Author of "The Power of Awareness"

Sports Business Conversations

Note: This episode contains some salty language. This is a sports business podcast. Says so right there in the logo. So you’re probably expecting something related to sports business. Well, sorry to disappoint. My guest in this episode has never worked in sports. Frankly he’s not really even that much of a fan. So why on earth should you continue to listen? Because this episode might LITERALLY one day save your life. I met my guest Dan Schilling on a chairlift at Alta ski resort in Utah. Dan, it turns out, is one of our nation’s most accomplished warriors. In his 30 year military career, Dan was part of one of the least know but most demanding special forces communities. He’s been around the world to fight in our nation’s fiercest of battles, including the infamous Battle of Mogadishu, a conflict made famous by the book and movie Black Hawk Down. Now an accomplished author, Dan’s most recent book is the Power of Awareness. In it, Dan distills essential parts of his and other’s training to help you gain insight into and better control of your surroundings. In this wide ranging conversation, we talk about Dan’s military career, including the Battle of Mogadishu, how personality and intelligence are keys to success in the Special Forces communities, his transition to writing, and the one extreme sport that even HE won’t try.
