NAVY SEAL Kyle Buckett: Joy Over Burnout and Overcoming Fear

Schuyler Williamson

In this episode, Navy SEAL and author Kyle Buckett unpacks what it takes to lead yourself, your team, and your company with joy.

Here’s what we cover:

Lead Yourself: Tools to start everyday with success. How to protect your time, fuel your body actually needs, and how to show up with joy so your team’s first experience of you is always positive.

Lead Your Team: Setting crystal-clear expectations, using the back-brief mode, and true engagement with your team. 

Lead Your Company: Treating HR as a profit center, not an expense. Help your team stay healthy, know their challenges, and empower them. 

Big Lessons:

  • Joy kills burnout—operating with alignment creates energy, not exhaustion.
  • Failure isn’t fatal; fear is. Leaders must embrace mistakes as fuel for growth.
  • Genuine care + discipline = lasting leadership

Kyle’s SEAL stories and hard-won insights will challenge you to lead with joy, clarity, and purpose.
