  • He Was Called KIA at Restrepo—Then Sat Up | Kyle Steiner: Green Beret to Fatherhood EP 72

    He Was Called KIA at Restrepo—Then Sat Up | Kyle Steiner: Green Beret to Fatherhood EP 72
    Nov 10 2026
    Kyle Steiner heard his battle roster number called KIA while he was still conscious—unable to move, unable to speak, internally screaming that he was alive.Then he sat up.On this episode of The Asset Mindset Podcast, Daniel Fielding sits down with retired Green Beret Kyle Steiner for a raw conversation about Restrepo, Special Forces, failure, resilience, accountability, fatherhood, leadership, and what it means to lead from the front.Kyle spent 22 years in the Army, including 17 years in Special Forces. Before becoming a Green Beret, he served with the 173rd Airborne in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley at OP Restrepo.During a firefight, he was shot in the head, lost consciousness, and could hear his teammates call him KIA over the radio. He could not move. He could not answer.Then he came back.But this episode is not just about surviving combat.It is about what adversity teaches you—and what happens when the mission changes.Kyle explains how Restrepo forged the foundation for everything that followed: grit, perseverance, confidence, and the belief that you can keep moving long after your mind tells you to stop.He also opens up about failing Special Forces selection the first time. But that failure sent him down the path that led to Restrepo and changed who he was.FAILURE WASN’T THE END.IT WAS PART OF THE TRAINING.In this conversation:• Being shot in the head and hearing himself called KIA• What combat at OP Restrepo was really like• Failing Special Forces selection—and coming back stronger• Why you have to deliberately do hard things• Eliminating excuses and taking radical accountability• Why self-criticism must be followed by positive action• Learning to welcome failure instead of fear it• How Green Berets build high-performing teams• Why opportunity often requires moving before you feel ready• Why being a present husband and father became Kyle’s hardest mission• How children mirror what their parents model• Why fathers must lead from the frontOne of the most powerful moments comes when Daniel asks Kyle:Was learning to be a present husband and father harder than learning to be a warrior or a Green Beret?Kyle’s answer: “For sure.”War gave him rules, structure, standards, and a mission. Fatherhood demanded something different:Presence.Patience.Self-awareness.Humility.Consistency.Example.Kyle shares the moment that changed his priorities. Returning from a long trip, one son didn't want him to read bedtime stories, while another wrote a school paper containing one painful sentence:“My dad is always gone.”That hit hard.Today, through Front Line Fathers, Kyle is focused on helping dads become the men they want their children to become.His philosophy is simple:Do not just tell your kids what matters.SHOW THEM.Own your mistakes.Apologize when you are wrong.Do hard things.Keep your word.Take responsibility.Lead from the front.Your job is to build future assets: future husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, leaders, teammates, and citizens.His message to fathers is direct:Be who you want your children to become.If you are rebuilding after failure, struggling to find purpose, raising children, or trying to become a stronger leader, this conversation is for you.Listen now and ask yourself:Are you leading from the front—or asking the people you love to go somewhere you are unwilling to go first?CONNECT WITH GREEN BERET KYLE STEINER🌐 Websitehttps://operatedifferent.com🔗 Linkshttps://linktr.ee/kylesteinerCONNECT WITH HOST DANIEL FIELDING🌐 The Asset Mindset: ⁠https://theassetmindset.com⁠▶️ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theassetmindset5957⁠📸 Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/the_asset_mindset/⁠💼 LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-fielding-the-asset-mindset⁠📘 Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/TheAssetMindset/⁠𝕏 X: ⁠https://x.com/asset_mindset⁠📖 THE ASSET MINDSET BOOK ⁠https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Asset-Mindset/Daniel-Fielding/9781668035979⁠

  • The Blast Took 3 Limbs—Not His Life | Bryan Anderson: Triple Amputee Mindset EP 71

    The Blast Took 3 Limbs—Not His Life | Bryan Anderson: Triple Amputee Mindset EP 71
    Nov 3 2026

    One explosion changed Bryan Anderson’s body forever—but it did not get to decide the rest of his life.

    In 2005, while serving in Iraq, Bryan was driving through southeast Baghdad when an explosively formed penetrator tore through his vehicle. In an instant, he lost both legs and his left hand. He was 24 years old.

    What followed was not simply a physical recovery. It was a fight over identity, fear, depression, acceptance, purpose, and one question:

    WHO AM I NOW?

    On this episode of The Asset Mindset Podcast, Daniel Fielding sits down with Iraq veteran and triple amputee Bryan Anderson for a raw conversation about surviving catastrophic injury, rebuilding your identity, choosing how you interpret what happens to you, and refusing to let tragedy become your entire story.

    Bryan remembers the explosion in vivid detail—the flash, smoke, fire, realizing his limbs were gone, and using humor while his teammates fought to save his life.

    But one of his hardest moments came later.

    Months into recovery at Walter Reed, Bryan looked at himself and wondered what kind of life he could possibly have and whether anyone could love him. Fear of the unknown turned into depression, anxiety, and panic.

    Then something shifted.

    Bryan realized he could keep staring backward at the life he had lost—or accept his new reality and start figuring out what was still possible.

    That decision changed everything.

    In this conversation:

    • The Iraq blast that made Bryan a triple amputee
    • What he remembers from the seconds after the explosion
    • Why another wounded teammate reminded him he wasn’t alone
    • The depression that hit months into recovery
    • Why acceptance became essential to moving forward
    • How leaving Walter Reed changed his perspective
    • Why Bryan sees the world as an “apparatus” instead of an obstacle
    • How your thoughts influence what your brain looks for
    • Why tragedy does not have to become your identity
    • Survivor’s guilt and living for those who didn’t come home
    • Why he believes most of the battle is mental
    • Why getting uncomfortable can open doors comfort never will
    • How he became an actor, stuntman, author, speaker, and advocate
    • His appearance in American Sniper and work with Gary Sinise

    Bryan’s philosophy is simple:

    You do not get to choose everything that happens to you.

    You do get to choose what you do with what comes next.

    He explains how he learned to interrupt destructive thoughts instead of feeding them. When his mind told him nobody would love him or his future was gone, he began intentionally changing the subject—focusing on what was directly in front of him, getting outside, experiencing life, and moving forward.

    Bryan’s life after injury became bigger than he could have predicted. He has acted, performed stunts, traveled, worked with wounded veterans, helped influence adaptive equipment, and found purpose through helping others see what they are still capable of.

    His advice for anyone feeling stuck:

    TRY.

    Put yourself out there.

    Do something uncomfortable.

    Take the risk.

    If you are rebuilding after injury, loss, trauma, disability, depression, or a life change you never asked for, this conversation is a reminder that your circumstances may change your path—but they do not have to determine your destination.

    Listen now and ask yourself:

    Are you focused on what happened to you—or on what you can still build from here?

  • Nick Lavery: Shot in the Face, Built to Win | Identity, Ownership & Tribe | EP 70

    Nick Lavery: Shot in the Face, Built to Win | Identity, Ownership & Tribe | EP 70
    Oct 27 2026
    Nick Lavery survived an AK-47 round to the face, catastrophic injuries, and some of the hardest moments imaginable. But in this conversation, the Green Beret goes deeper than combat.He talks about identity, ownership, discipline, emotional control, gratitude, the people you surround yourself with—and what it takes to keep moving forward when life changes everything.Recorded at MIC 2026, Daniel Fielding sits down with Nick Lavery for a raw conversation about human performance, resilience, leadership, personal responsibility, veteran transition, mindset, and building a life bigger than any title you hold.For years, being a Green Beret wasn’t simply what Nick did. It was who he was.That identity helped carry him through brutal injuries and the fight to return to his team. But becoming a husband, father, entrepreneur, coach, and leader forced him to confront a harder question:WHO ARE YOU WHEN THE TITLE CHANGES?Nick explains why identity cannot be built through words alone. You have to live it through action.He also challenges the idea that successful people are simply “lucky.” Luck exists—but opportunity means nothing if you are unwilling to recognize it, prepare for it, and execute when the door opens.And when things go wrong?FAILURE EQUALS DATA.Extract the lesson. Adjust. Go again.In this episode:• Why your identity should be bigger than your job, rank, or title• How to take ownership of your actions, attitude, and effort• Why you can’t always change the people around you—but you can change the people around you• Why accountability is essential to growth• Why Nick calls gratitude a “nuclear weapon” for human performance• How emotional intelligence separates high performers• Why discipline means executing even when you don’t feel like it• How calm leadership under pressure can change a team• How to turn failure into information• Why small victories compounded over time create successNick also shares one of the defining combat moments of his career: a 400-pound roadside bomb detonates, six men are wounded, an L-shaped ambush erupts, and Nick takes an AK-47 round to the face.In the middle of the chaos, he watches a Special Forces warrant officer remain almost unnaturally calm.That moment taught him something he would carry for years:Leadership is not proven when everything is easy.You may not control your past, other people, setbacks, criticism, or what happens next.But you control YOU.Your actions.Your attitude.Your effort.Nick also explains why the people around you matter. You do not need hundreds of people in your circle. You need people who tell you the truth, hold you accountable, pick you up when you fall, and push you toward who you are capable of becoming.A strong tribe can change everything.And if you’re struggling to change your life, Nick’s advice is not to reinvent yourself tomorrow.“Small victories compounded over time is how you create success.”If you are rebuilding your identity, transitioning out of the military, struggling with discipline, facing failure, questioning your purpose, or trying to become a stronger leader, this conversation is for you.Listen now and ask yourself:Who are you becoming—and do your actions, attitude, effort, and the people around you support that person?CONNECT WITH NICK LAVERY🔗 Official Linkshttps://linktr.ee/TeamMCHN🌐 https://www.precisioncomponentsllc.com/📸 https://www.instagram.com/thenicklavery/💼 https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-lavery-a691871ba/https://www.amazon.com/Objective-Secure-Battle-Tested-Guide-Achievement/dp/057835201X/CONNECT WITH HOST DANIEL FIELDING🌐 ⁠https://theassetmindset.com⁠▶️ https://www.youtube.com/@theassetmindset5957⁠https://www.instagram.com/the_asset_mindset/⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-fielding-the-asset-mindset⁠https://www.facebook.com/TheAssetMindset/⁠⁠https://x.com/asset_mindset⁠📖 Book ⁠https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Asset-Mindset/Daniel-Fielding/9781668035979⁠

  • From Rock Bottom to Mission: PTSD, Sobriety & Veteran Mental Health | MIC 2026 | EP 69

    From Rock Bottom to Mission: PTSD, Sobriety & Veteran Mental Health | MIC 2026 | EP 69
    Oct 20 2026
    Four veterans. Four battles most people never see. One shared truth: rock bottom does not have to be where your story ends.Recorded at MIC 2026, this special episode of The Asset Mindset Podcast brings together Marine veteran Mike Waldron of 23rd Veteran, MFV Resources founder Daniel O’Dell, This Sober Vet Podcast host Joe Yurick, and Courtney Place Veterans Housing leader Andrew Holbert for four raw conversations about PTSD, suicide, sobriety, veteran mental health, military transition, community, purpose, identity, and rebuilding life after service.MIKE WALDRON — FROM COMBAT TRAUMA TO FUNCTIONAL MENTAL HEALTHhttps://23rdveteran.orgAfter serving in the Marine Corps and taking part in the initial invasion of Iraq, Mike Waldron came home changed. Panic attacks, isolation, emotional numbness, and years of suffering eventually led to a suicide attempt.What happened next became the foundation for 23rd Veteran.Mike shares how exercise, socialization, vulnerability, neuroscience, and facing his fears helped him rebuild his life. Today, 23rd Veteran uses a 14-week Functional Mental Health program combining exercise, group connection, exposure, and behavioral practices to help veterans reconnect.DANIEL O’DELL — “WITHOUT THE DARK, THERE IS NO LIGHT”https://mfvresources.comDaniel O’Dell describes living with severe PTSD, isolation, suicidal thoughts, tying nooses, and standing on ledges—until one message from another veteran changed the way he saw his life.That shift became fuel for MFV Resources, a nationwide database connecting military members and veterans with trusted resources across all 50 states, including housing, employment, education, financial assistance, recreation, youth programs, entrepreneurship, and more.Daniel’s message: you cannot change the past, but you can change the future.JOE YURICK — SOBRIETY, IDENTITY & FINDING YOUR MISSIONhttps://thissobervet.comJoe Yurick drank from age 14 to 40. After leaving the Army, alcohol became a way to fill the silence left by military service. Eventually, his wife gave him a choice: his family or drinking.He chose sobriety.Joe explains how therapy, support, faith, reframing, and weekly ruck marches helped him rebuild his identity. That journey became This Sober Vet Podcast, where veterans share their sobriety stories to show others that life beyond addiction can be stronger, clearer, and more purposeful.His challenge: What could you become if alcohol were no longer holding you back?ANDREW HOLBERT — HOUSING, COMMUNITY & PURPOSE AFTER SERVICEhttps://www.liveatcourtneyplace.comMarine veteran Andrew Holbert has spent roughly 15 years advocating for veterans. Through Courtney Place Veterans Housing, he helps low-income veterans access affordable housing, wraparound services, community, and meaningful human connection.Andrew explains why housing alone is not enough, why veterans need a tribe, and why simply being seen and heard can change a life.FOUR STORIES. ONE MISSION.• PTSD and veteran mental health• Suicide prevention and recovery• Sobriety and addiction• Military-to-civilian transition• Functional Mental Health• Exercise, neuroscience, and social connection• Veteran resources and support• Affordable veteran housing• Identity, purpose, faith, and serviceThese men walked different paths, but each discovered the same thing:Isolation makes the battle harder.Connection changes what is possible.Purpose gives you a reason to keep moving.If you are a veteran, military family member, first responder, leader—or anyone rebuilding after trauma, addiction, loss, or a season where you no longer recognize yourself—this conversation is for you.Listen now and ask yourself:What if the life waiting on the other side of your hardest season is stronger than the one you thought you lost?Own Your Power.CONNECT WITH HOST DANIEL FIELDINGTheAssetMindset.com⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theassetmindset5957⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/the_asset_mindset/⁠

His wife of 50 years died from cancer. His body still carries the damage of war.Yet his message remains:“I survived.”Capers explains why real leaders take care of their people first, why he refused to eat before his troops, and why leadership isn't about rank—it's about earning the trust of people willing to follow you when everything is on the line.Then Green Beret Mike Clark joins Daniel to discuss the BLK OPS Foundation and its mission to preserve overlooked stories from the Special Operations community while bringing mentorship, resilience, discipline, purpose, and the Special Forces mindset to young people across America.You'll hear:• Major James Capers' lessons from combat in Vietnam• What leadership looks like when lives depend on your decisions• Why Capers' men followed him through extreme danger• How he survived devastating personal loss without quitting• Why taking care of your people comes before taking care of yourself• The mindset that carried Capers through war and nearly eight decades of life• Mike Clark's 27+ years in Army Special Forces• Why representation and mentorship can change a young person's future• The mission behind the BLK OPS Foundation• Why young people need resilience, purpose, communication, and real-world adversity• How Green Berets think “by, width, and through”• Why finding the right mentors can accelerate your growth• How veterans can discover a new mission after military service• Why community becomes critical when life gets hardThis isn't just a military story.It's a conversation about what happens when life knocks you down—and whether you decide to stay there.Major Capers has faced combat, wounds, loss, grief, and isolation.

    I Hated Who I Was: The Identity Shift That Changed Everything | Adam Johnson EP 66
    Sep 29 2026
    Adam Johnson gained 100 pounds, battled alcoholism and substance abuse, lost himself in the identities he created—and eventually realized the person destroying his life was also the only person who could rebuild it.In this raw episode of The Asset Mindset Podcast, Army combat medic, former drill sergeant, coach, author, and entrepreneur Adam Johnson joins Daniel Fielding to reveal how he went from nearly 300 pounds and directionless to losing 100 pounds, building a military career, overcoming alcohol, rebuilding his identity, and creating systems that helped him take control of his life.Adam breaks down why motivation isn't enough, how discipline becomes easier when your actions align with your identity, why journaling and self-awareness can expose the lies you tell yourself, and how systems keep you moving when motivation disappears. He also shares the uncomfortable truth behind his years as a high-performing drill sergeant who could enforce the standard by day while struggling with alcohol behind closed doors.This conversation dives into identity, discipline, addiction recovery, personal responsibility, resilience, neuroplasticity, fitness, nutrition, journaling, overcoming victim mentality, building self-trust, taking action, and finding purpose after failure.You'll hear why Adam believes:• Identity comes before transformation• Motivation gets you started—but systems keep you going• Consistency matters more than perfection• You must stop tying your identity to titles and positions• Self-trust is built by keeping promises to yourself• Your environment can either reinforce your goals or destroy them• Giving yourself grace without corrective action becomes an excuse• Failure doesn't mean you're on the wrong path• Sometimes you have to remove people and environments holding you back• Taking imperfect action is better than standing still• You are never helpless—even when you feel hopelessAdam also explains why he's walking away from the Army after nearly 14 years instead of staying for a 20-year retirement—and why becoming a husband and father means more to him than his military rank, businesses, speaking career, or accomplishments.His message is simple:You have the power to change your situation.You don't have to transform your entire life today.Take the first step.Then take another.Because the person you repeatedly tell yourself you are eventually becomes the person you live as.If you're struggling with your identity, discipline, alcohol, motivation, weight, purpose, failure, or simply feel stuck in a life you no longer want—this conversation is for you.Listen now and ask yourself:WHO ARE YOU—and does the life you're living actually reflect that person?Own Your Power.CONNECT WITH ADAM JOHNSON🌐 Website & RTD Resourceshttps://adamjjohnson.com📸 Instagram — @officialadamjjhttps://www.instagram.com/officialadamjj/💼 LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-johnson-discipline-expert/🎯 Redefine The Discipline (RTD) Communityhttps://www.skool.com/redefine-the-discipline-rtd-7973/aboutCONNECT WITH HOST DANIEL FIELDING🌐 The Asset Mindset: ⁠https://theassetmindset.com⁠🎙️ The Asset Mindset Podcast on Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/72xCDawaK2jecWMTA1rsJH⁠🍎 Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-asset-mindset/id1817481770⁠▶️ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theassetmindset5957⁠📸 Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/the_asset_mindset/⁠💼 LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-fielding-the-asset-mindset⁠📘 Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/TheAssetMindset/⁠𝕏 X: ⁠https://x.com/asset_mindset⁠📖 THE ASSET MINDSET BOOK ⁠https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Asset-Mindset/Daniel-Fielding/9781668035979⁠Speaking / Book Daniel for an Event: ⁠https://www.theassetmindset.com/company-3⁠One-on-One Coaching: ⁠https://www.theassetmindset.com/company-3-1⁠🧠 ASSET MINDSET WORKBOOKS & GEARShop: ⁠https://www.theassetmindset.com/category/all-products⁠

    Follow Me: Green Beret Leadership When Everything Goes Wrong | Ruben Ayala | The Asset Mindset Podcast EP 65
    Sep 22 2026
    Would people still follow you when the plan falls apart and the consequences become life or death? Former Green Beret, entrepreneur, author, and Triple Nickel founder Ruben Ayala reveals what real leadership looks like when pressure, fear, failure, and risk become very real.In this powerful episode of The Asset Mindset Podcast, Ruben takes us inside a dangerous high-altitude Special Forces training mission where a teammate began suffering from hypoxia—and everyone turned to the new team leader for the decision that could determine what happened next. He also shares the painful leadership mistake that forced him to terminate his entire workforce during COVID, why confidence without trust is worthless, and why the leaders worth following aren't fearless—they understand the consequences and move forward anyway.Ruben also explores the message behind his new book, Follow Me, including leadership by example, mentorship, resilience, taking calculated risks, learning from failure, serving others, and helping the next generation recognize what they're capable of becoming.If you're a leader, entrepreneur, veteran, parent, mentor—or anyone trying to become someone others can trust when things get hard—this conversation will challenge the way you think about leadership.What you'll hear:• The moment a Special Forces mission turned into a potential life-or-death emergency• Why authority doesn't automatically make people want to follow you• The difference between confidence and recklessness• Why courage actually requires fear• How mentors can completely change someone's trajectory• The leadership mistake Ruben still carries with him• Why a "never quit" mentality can sometimes become a liability• How strong leaders communicate when things are falling apart• Why calculated risk is essential to growth and success• What Ruben learned from losing 80% of his company's revenue during COVID• Why leadership means doing the work you're asking others to do• The mission behind Follow Me and the Black Ops FoundationRuben's message is simple:Leadership isn't about the title.It's about becoming the person people are willing to follow when everything goes wrong.Listen now and ask yourself:Would people follow you into the worst day of their lives?Own Your Power.CONNECT WITH RUBEN AYALALinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruben-ayala-9742bb31/Triple Nikel: https://triplenikel.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/triple_nikel/BLK OPS Foundation: https://blkopsfoundation.org/GET THE BOOK — FOLLOW MEAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=9798994630051Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/9798994630051Google Books: https://books.google.com/books/about/Follow_Me.html?id=_6AO0gEACAAJCONNECT WITH HOST DANIEL FIELDING🌐 The Asset Mindsethttps://theassetmindset.com🎙️ The Asset Mindset Podcast on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/72xCDawaK2jecWMTA1rsJH🍎 The Asset Mindset Podcast on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-asset-mindset/id1817481770▶️ YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@theassetmindset5957📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/the_asset_mindset/💼 LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-fielding-the-asset-mindset📘 Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/TheAssetMindset/𝕏 Xhttps://x.com/asset_mindset📖 THE ASSET MINDSET BOOKOfficial Publisherhttps://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Asset-Mindset/Daniel-Fielding/9781668035979🎯 WORK WITH DANIEL FIELDINGSpeaking / Book Daniel for an Eventhttps://www.theassetmindset.com/company-3One-on-One Coachinghttps://www.theassetmindset.com/company-3-1🧠 ASSET MINDSET WORKBOOKS & GEAR Shophttps://www.theassetmindset.com/category/all-products
